The sub 60 challenge.

The sub run. No,not to subway, but the running of a distance below a certain time frame. Most people when they start running eventually getting point where they want to aim for a sub 30 5k or a sub 60 10k. While I know I can do the former, it is the latter I have … Continue reading The sub 60 challenge.

C2C – the one that started it all.

This is where it started 12 months ago. Twelve months ago when I was barely running and definitely not in any kind of competitive manner. I saw the ads in the paper and said "next year I'm going to run that". If only I'd known then what I know now. That by the time I … Continue reading C2C – the one that started it all.

Nearly time…and fulfilling a dream

This time last year I made the decision to run the City to Casino. I made this pledge when I was not doing much running, or not enough to really get anywhere, and had no inclination to do other events.An 11km road race that is huge in Hobart. Popular. And fast. ~runs off to google … Continue reading Nearly time…and fulfilling a dream

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

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

Exercise that is not running (getting started)

There is one door in my house that is nearly half covered in A4 paper with several body part workouts. Arms, legs, abs, the LBD workout, a full body challenge.. you name it I've printed it out and it's up there ready for me to do something about it. I know that running (and diet) alone … Continue reading Exercise that is not running (getting started)

(bad) Food! and exercise

I have a really good appetite. I love food. Good food, Bad food. Pretty much all food. I'm not overly fussy when it comes to eating. Give me a super sized steak and I'll demolish it in no time. Complete with lashings of hot mustard. I like desserts, but it's not a sweet tooth I … Continue reading (bad) Food! and exercise
