MDC 8km

Every year, all over Australia, thousands of men and women gather on Mother's Day to raise funds for breast cancer and have fun while they're at it. Any one can attend with a 4km walk along with the 4 & 8km fun runs. It's been four years since I did this and a few things … Continue reading MDC 8km

Round the River 10K

No bling for this race. It was a super fast course. I ran a sub 60min 10K! I didn't quite train enough, in my mind at least. I would have liked to have been more consistent, but life is incredibly busy at the moment and I am doing the bare minimum to get me through right now. Excuses not reasons. … Continue reading Round the River 10K

Run the Bridge – 14 Feb

I'm still getting into the hang of writing again after such a long break so this will be a short sweet post. The one I started earlier is full of words and just a bit much right now. On February 14th I did the 10k 'Run the Bridge' event. This is an event which is held all over … Continue reading Run the Bridge – 14 Feb

First race ever…4 years on.

The following links are too two posts I did 4 years ago after my first ever race. Something done on a whim and not repeated. Until now. I have found something I really enjoy and want to do more of, to challenge myself. RUN! Looking at the results a second time all I can say is how … Continue reading First race ever…4 years on.

Race Time for ‘the kenyan’

I've now completed my very first race. You know, one of those official things that you register for, pay money, get timing chips and bibs for. And there are two very important things I learnt along the way. 1) Training and recovery. 2) Don't take yourself too seriously. In typical Jennifer fashion, I didn't pick a quick little 5k as … Continue reading Race Time for ‘the kenyan’

Supplements and inside vs outside running….

Supplements. Ah, that dreaded word. You either love them or hate them. You live by them or can't be arsed. You're addicted to them or have no wish to try them. No matter what side of the fence you sit on, we all have a perception of them and where they live within our own … Continue reading Supplements and inside vs outside running….

Times, goals and running underwear

:We'll leave the underwear for a minute, it's nothing raunchy or visual. Just a few thoughts and what I wear, having come about after reading a few articles out there. I was looking through my phone notebook the other day and came across a note from back in August last year (2014). I had done … Continue reading Times, goals and running underwear

Back in my running shoes

After a long break away from activity (any activity) there is always something apprehension when you're ready to start again. I've had this crazy cold that decided to hang around for two weeks, (I still have a weird silly cough thing happening) I didn't want to push it with the cold wind in my throat by getting … Continue reading Back in my running shoes
