Dead Koala !

The plan was to do fartlek for 15k. But as we all know life always seems to throw a spanner in the works. And by the time I actually got to put on the running shoes it was late. I needed to catch up on sleep and get things done at the same time. So I only had time for a quick run 10-12k.
But as I ran along the road my mind took over and I was in day dream land. A car flashed it's lights at me and reality was back. That's when I noticed a dead koala on side of the road. Not a very nice thing to see and I had to look away in disgust, how hard is it to swerve or slow down ?
It's not like a roo that jumps out in front of you these guy's move pretty slow.
Anyway by this stage I realized i was about 7.5k from home and made a quick u turn.
All up 15.5k at 5:10 pace and felt really good !

Wish I could get in the zone like that!

Sad about the koala :( We came across a dead rat yesterday when running, gross but better a dead one than a live one.
