I woke up in the morning and looked out the window – Sunny. I thought to myself, ok well this is promising, forecast does predict rain, so we will see. The clouds came over after breakfast. It was still reasonably ok. I mean it wasn’t raining or anything. After a clean-up and some light gardening […]

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

Motley Crue had a hit with Girls, Girls, Girls in 1987 and the girls of the Stawell Amateur Athletic Club were singing that song after embarrassing the boys with another all-girl trifecta in the five kilometre Stan and Karen Watson Handicap last Saturday. Not content with smashing the males in nine of the 17 races

Sunday is not my normal running day. I like running on Saturdays. I’m used to it. Sometimes though the club runs get scheduled on a Sunday. This week’s run, was a combined club run with the Ararat club. This run was a new race for the club. Therefore only the president of the club knew

Let me tell you as I write this I’m pooped. Yep exhausted. The SAAC club handicap this week was the Charlie Jones Sealed Handicap. This particular race is 16km. I was hoping it was going to be the same as last year’s course (as it’s been this particular track I’ve been told for many years),

My first club run win with the Stawell Amateur Athletic Club aka SAAC happened to be this particular race last year. The 6.5km Gary Rice Vineyard Handicap run is set in Gary’s vineyard. We weaved in and out through the vineyards, and then up through Ironbark scrub land, before doing the loop again. The course
