All things running related
Today marked the 2nd Wimmera/Grampians Heart Challenge. Jackie created this event as her dad died of a heart attack back in 1996. The leading cause of death in our region is related to heart disease. Which is quite sad. All the monies raised from this event will go back into the community to help our […]
A friend of mine told me the other day, that it’s only 3 weeks until Spring. I thought about it, and yes, she is quite right. Mind you this was on a day where it was like 10c | 50f and it was cold, wet, and windy. So yes even though spring might only be

Why do we as humans have an aversion in trying something new? Is it fear? Is it because we don’t want to get out of our comfort zone? Is it because we are creatures of habit, and do what we always do because that’s what we are familiar with, or have always done? If we

Last year as I was picking up my race kit for my 1st ever half marathon I saw all these kids, and thought to myself, what on earth is going on? I later realized it was the kid’s event of Run Melbourne. I honestly don’t know how I did not know or realize that they

This weeks club run was the infamous “hill of horrors” of Trooper Creek. Due to the location of the run, this will be the last time this event will be raced. The SAAC committee decided that due to its remote location, and reception black hole it was deemed too remote. Last year was the 1st
