The last race for the 2013 SAAC season was the Ivan McDonald Big Hill 5km Race, held on the 14th September. I know I’m very late with my race recap, but after the club presentations that evening, we went on a 2.5-week holiday. So this blog post got put on hold. It was weird not

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

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
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,
