All things running related
Insert huge sigh *here*. Yes, that’s right a sigh, and I think you know why because every time the new month rolls around I scratch my head and think “where the hell is this year going?” I’m serious, it’s flying by in the blink of an eye. When I first started this goal back at […]

The fine spring weather is upon us, and I’m totally loving it and enjoying it. For the 2nd the last club run for the season – Young Sports Power 10km Sealed Championship, the spring weather was out in full force, and we were totally soaking it up. This club run was also extra special for

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

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
Who runs when it’s cold, wet, and windy? Apparently me that’s who. Conditions to the SAAC King of the Mountain were similar to those of Troopers Creek a few weeks back. This distance however was 3km and not 10km. The course was slightly different from that of last year, and unless King of the Mountain

August is here, and that means another month is done and dust towards the Run 1000km in 2013 Goal. July brought some long runs, but also a few running injuries, pains, no wait problems, yes let’s go with problems. The time off really helped though. I have the half marathon distance in my legs now,
