I am currently writing this blog from a dorm room inside Tonbridge School, UK which is where the Australian Athletics Team will be based for 6 weeks next year before the Olympic Village opens. The sun is even shining at the moment! I arrived here yesterday, after travelling from Brussels, Belgium where I ran a 400m on Saturday.

53.32 new PB! Yay, pretty excited to have something to show that my flat 400m speed is developing and progressing in the right direction, especially on my journey to Daegu. II now have one more 400H race this Thursday in Loughborough, UK before flying into Daegu. The weather is said to be somewhat ominous in Loughborough so I am just looking to execute my race well and head into World Champs full of confidence and excitement.

Lucky I run as I’ll never be a hand model!

Another week down which brings me one week closer to hopping on the plane to Korea. We were blessed with a beautiful week up here, while there was still the usual cool breeze, we had ALOT of sunshine.
