I’m really enjoying the change in run club times from afternoons to mornings. It’s also great to see new members and returning members. The weather was spectacular! Perfect running temperature, cool but not cold (unless you were standing around), and the sun was out and shining. The wind was icy but dropped by the time

This race was on, off, and on again for me. First, it was on because I was working a 2-10 pm shift. Then it was off because someone had called in sick, and I needed to do the opening shift 6:30-2:30 pm. Then it was back on again because my shift got moved back to

The last time I did a SAAC race recap was the Gary Rice Championship run. We have had a race since then, but Tom was busy building fence posts so I didn’t have any pictures for a race recap, so I decided to skip the Steve Baird Handicap race recap. I had also planned to do

The Stawell Running Club season opens with the Dooen Engineering Sealed Handicap. I missed this race in 2013 as I was in Geelong to run the Geelong Half Marathon. I’m glad the running season is open for the year, it keeps me motivated and pushes me to get faster. The first race for the year

The last race for the 2013 SAAC season was the Ivan McDonald Big Hill 5km Race, held on the 14th September. I know I’m very late with my race recap, but after the club presentations that evening, we went on a 2.5-week holiday. So this blog post got put on hold. It was weird not

After a bye last week, it was nice to have the regularity of a club run. This week’s race was held up in Horsham along the river. The course was not the same as last year, due to work on the bridge. Either way, the course was flat, which means fast, but you never know
