This week saw the SAAC club run back out in the Ironbarks for the 6.5km Advanced Bricks & Pavers Handicap. Having looked at the weather report, I decided to don the shorts and singlet. I’m glad I did as it got hot out on the track. I wasn’t too sure how I was going to

This race was on, off, and on again for me. First, it was on because I was working a 2-10 pm shift. Then it was off because someone had called in sick, and I needed to do the opening shift 6:30-2:30 pm. Then it was back on again because my shift got moved back to

So Easter just happened. It was so crazy at work that even a couple of people said to have a good Christmas, yeah I kid you not! Pull up a chair grab a coffee or whatever floats your boat and let’s catch up. If we were sitting down for coffee I would tell you I am

This weeks club run took us away from the Ironbarks of Stawell, and to the timekeeper’s Vineyard, for the Gary Rice Vineyard race. Located only a short distance outside of town. This event was a Championship run, held under sealed handicap* conditions. Each time I have done this race the course changes just a little.

In 2012 I won this race and set a new 5km PB (personal best) with a time of 23:43. Then in 2013 I went and did it again winning this race with a new 5km PB in a time of 22:44. Each week Tom & I discuss who we think is going to win. Tom said

This weeks club run was back in Stawell. It feels like we haven’t run on home turf in like forever. Cold, rainy, & misty, quite fitting for the shortest day of the year. I laced up my new running shoes. I haven’t broken them in yet, and this run was as good as any to

In the car driving to Horsham, I felt all sleepy and warm and really had little enthusiasm to run the club race. I went in with ZERO expectations. I just wanted to run and survive. Run and survive I did. Horsham is flat, and having run and won this course last year, I knew what

I have a cold (sad face). I’m not too sure where I got it, but either way, I knew that I wasn’t going to have a flash club run. These things happen, and since it’s outside of my control, there is nothing I can do about it, you just have to plod on. This week’s club

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
