Goanna!
No run today - just a comment. I was at the shopping centre today and was walking along the footpath when a GOANNA crossed the footpath in front of me. In the carpark! How often is that going to happen in Perth??! There are a lot of lizards here - geckos, the ta-ta lizard (called ta-ta because it runs on its back legs with its front legs in the air as if it was waving ta-ta - don't know its real name!) and the thorny devil, but I haven't seen a goanna in town before. I didn't get too close - goannas have a nasty bite!

All the best for the move Celeste.
Sounds like you are "flat out like a lizard drinking."
Enjoy your trip down there and get back to the blog asap.
That's pretty cool :-)
Re: the sub 6min thing, unfortunately that's not my long run pace at the moment - it was pre-injury so I'm hoping it won't take me too long to get back there. I have to keep practising what I preach (patience and consistency...)
Wow - a goanna! In the car park! Don't see too many of them around here! I didn't realise they bite either.
Yikes, the scariest thing I ever saw in a car park was a big male Koala, not as bad as a goanna but still scary when angry.
Don't think you'll see many in Perth
It's the ones that don't have legs that you have to look out for ;-)
Thanks for your comments on my blog recently - much appreciated.
Your journey appears to be going well - I look forward to future installments.
How exotic!
Good luck with your move to the 'big smoke'!
BTW thanks for the comment on my page :)
What is it with these rampant goannas? We had one up on our front verandah the other day. Hope the move goes well and you enjoy running in a cooler clime.
Classic! Goanna in a car park. Sounds like a good band name.
I like the ta-ta lizard, a great name and a funny walk, love to see one of those beggars.

You better store that one in your memory bank - not too many people see that on their way to pick up some milk!
