Back in June I booked myself in to do Tough Mudder. The event not being until January 2013. Well it’s now November and January is not that far away. I had always planned to do Insanity The Asylum as my preparation for the event. The program is only 30 days (1 month) long, but because

Long Post Ahead I first found out about the Portland 3 Bays Marathon via some running friends at our local running club. After Run Melbourne, I knew I wanted to tackle the half marathon distance again. However, I couldn’t decide when or where I wanted to do it. It wasn’t until the colour run

I found out about Run Ballarat around June. To be honest, I’m not too sure when exactly this year, but I remember finding out about it before registrations were open. On the 27th of July (2012), I paid my $43 for my registration, and not long after that I got my shirt (but via Run
I love setting goals. But the best part of setting goals is achieving them. It is truly satisfying. When I started setting goals last year (2011) I had on there to run a 5km race. The goal wasn’t time, it was the distance. 5km seemed far, well from a none runner, it seemed far, but

I am a runner. I can say that with gusto now. Back in high school, I use to run, but I stopped because it felt like my lungs were bursting. How times have changed. Running has changed my life in a good way. It clears my head. And when they say it’s cheaper than therapy,

Last week the run for SAAC was ‘Run for Ray’, out at Troopers Creek. There we had to run up one killer of a mountain! No, I’m not joking, it was hard work, I had to walk 3/4 of that hill, but I wasn’t the only one who walked. Even the best had to walk

I never thought that I would be able to run 3km let alone 21km a year ago. How things have changed. How I have changed. I have achieved so much already this year, and I hope to achieve so much more. I don’t remember when I put a half marathon on my list of goals

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
