Ken, don’t forget it is midsummer in Oz. Well done again, Keith.

Summer? As in warm weather? Hey, that’s cheating!

Is 4:12 possible 1500. Closer to a 4:31 mile I think but he is closing in. Keep it up Bateman.

Thanks all (and to Rich Burns for some lovely emails) – I have 2 1500m races next month and am hoping to better my 4:12.9 last month – am just hoping for good weather and a good field and a ‘feel good’ day – Saturday’s temperature for the mile was about 29C (85F ?) but the wind was 20 – 25 KPH – in January it is likely to be hotter – I am fairly used to that now but the wind not welcome.
