In 2013, I wrote about why the Marathon was not for me. I stand by that decision back then. A lot has happened in that time frame. I got into trail running, and have done two ultras, Surf Coast Century, and WTF Lumberjack, yet officially I have never run a marathon. You could count Run …

In 2013 I ran the Geelong Half Marathon for the first time. It would be another 8 years before I would go back and revisit an event I truly enjoyed. Running along the Barwon River the course is flat (with a few rises), but also scenic. With the event falling during the Easter school holidays, …
The first half marathon I ran at Run Melbourne, I knew by the 18km mark that I wasn’t going to get a sub 2 hour time. It would be close, and yes, it would have been awesome to get sub 2 hours, but it was my first half marathon, I was just so grateful to …

There hasn’t been much of a high five to share lately. I blame Project 52, taking up all my good images. I’m still saving things as they come along, and well it’s about time I had a High Five post. I’m one of those people that love to read. Whether it’s a book book or …
This year’s race review for Run The Gap is going to be slightly different. In the past, I have given this race review from the perspective of a runner. This year it’s going to be from the perspective of a race director. Last year (2014), I was the race director for the 21km trail event, …
