My 1st half marathon for the year has been officially crossed off the list. Yay :)! But it did mean I missed the first SAAC club meet/run for the season. Nay 🙁 The Geelong Half Marathon was hosted by GCCC (Geelong Cross Country Club). There were lots of elements of this race that I really […]

With it being the last day of the year and all I thought it would be a good idea to have a 2012 year in review. 2012 has been one very interesting year. It has been a year of self-discovery, hard work, sweat and tears. One thing is for sure. I have definitely gone outside my comfort

I’m getting one step closer to my goals in pretty much all aspects and area’s in my life. One of my goals is to run 5km in under 25mins (so a sub 25). Yesterday I got pretty damn close. It was the Steven Baird Handicap at the SAAC. I was given a handicap of 8.25mins. My
This weeks club run was the longest distance on the syllabus, the Charlie Jones 16km handicap. Was I nervous? Absolutely. The furthest I have run is currently 13km, doing 5:1 run-walk intervals. While I was nervous, I wanted to still give it a go, but just go at a nice easy steady pace of 6:30
