Sunday, I woke up at 5:30 am, gave myself a kick in the ass, grabbed my camera and took a service taxi to the legendary Souk Al-Ahad. No "Ahad! Wednesday, October 14, 2009.

At best all you do in that case is make sure you plan events away from the office premises. See, what you are really thinking about is public liability, adverse media and insurance claims.

Things crawl up my legs and across my arms. I lie still and let them explore, even as I push thoughts of active funnel web spiders out of my mind and hope to drift off. Sleep is a long time coming and I dream of doing this again. And again. Written by PickledEel · Filed Under Berowra. On March 18th, 2011 1:40 am. This work ...

In truth though, my initial thought on receiving that news was thank goodness for the Race Director’s sake. He had allowed us to run even though we had no experience doing this sort of thing.
