So proud of my wife writing her first childrens book. A psychologist, author and beautiful person. If you want your daughter to learn and care about the environment this is a book for them.

@WildcatsSAQ @stevemagness And from a historical perspective watch the 1983 5k final with Eamonn Coughlin celebrating with 200m to go.

[Des Proctor @DesProctor]

@WildcatsSAQ @stevemagness Coming from someone who never won anything. I aggree 100% with you Steve. Thankfully no such officials here in Australia making such ridiculous decisions.

8 1/2 years ago my athletes bought me a @Garmin fenix. In 2017 it was my first garmin and what a watch! Thinking back athletes that I have coached with national open titles from the 800 to the marathon to juniors representing their country. A lot has happened wearing this watch.

A long long athletics season with his first race on Nov 1st. Throw in a few 8k cross country races and finishes off the season as u20 1500m champion. @athsstats @insideaths lets see what's next. I think national title #19???
