Last week I ran 36 kms and YTD = 384 kms. So far this week I have run 15 kms and will do an 8 km run once I log off here. The Harriers run last Thursday was a bit of an improvement, pace was 5.33, just need to get closer to 5.00. TRACS gym going nicely, just as well I didn't tell my ex-employers in milking to get &%$ed as they are often...

Last Thursday night's club run at the Tennis Courts was a bit of an improvement, did the 5 km in28:15, not as good as the 26 mins I'd like but way better than the 30:18 of the week before. It is fully dark for these runs now and my lights belt, with white in front showing the way and red behind warning vehicles I exist, is still going strong on its...

I was running on the treadmill at the gym and Tim, who runs TRACS, suggested I carry my arms more up, as if I am nearly punching my chin each time they come up. This raises the hand a bit higher than the heart which apparently reduces the effort by the heart a bit. I have been trying this over the last couple of weeks and it seems fine. Tim is a very...

The ride to Cheynes Bridge was as hard as I remembered, the Paradise Valley/Montana Caravan Park hill was a mere secondary effort compared to the horrifying Blanket Hill. Of course they were lovely to zoom down but the uphills were big. And as usual Vance got me to be leader which meant I lost face on the return ride when in the last 12 kms I could...
Well today we had the Harriers Springwood run near the Golf course in Crinigan Rd Morwell, so a good hilly spot. Lovely cool running conditions. I ran the 4km in 26 mins which was 2 minutes slower than last year, but last year I was a bit fitter. So a nice result. The men run 2 laps, ie 8 km and Trevor did well in 42 mins. The winner was an eye...

I have been running so inconsistently that there has been nothing to report. Hopefully that is now remedied and I'll be getting back to regular running. Today I ran 9.9 km in 1:27, yesterday 8.76 km in 1:20. Tomorrow is the Club's Anzac Day run.
Last week I ran 16.68 km bringing YTD = 285.9kms. Only way to go is up.
Closed doors : On Monday...

It seems to be taking a long time to get 2013 organised, thus road trips etc have stopped me doing consistent running. Last week I ran 5 times, total 22.7 kms, YTD = 245.3 kms. Same time last year I had done 334kms, and in 2011 398 kms, that's a problem. Hopefully in what is left of this week I can do a few runs and gym sessions. Tomorrow is not...

Our Club run on Thursday was at Newborough track, a chance to see what your exact 5km time is and nowhere to hide. I had zero expectations as I have run so little in the last 4 weeks. All I have been doing regularly is my weights sessions at the gym with a little work on the stepper or treadmill. So to do the 5 km in 28:38 was actually good, as was the...
Well the running is not going too well as I run so badly in the heat. At Chook Hill on Thursday I had to walk the final hill section and felt crap 44 mins for 5.8 km !! How bad is that. And the nights are not cool either, yuck, yuck ,yuck. Milking in the mornings, so that wrecks the chance to run early. So it's quite possible that 14.2 kms...

Black snakes like this little guy keep me watchful on my runs, unlike some more aggressive snakes they are apt to lie about and not move away, and the trick is to dodge them via the tail end. This avoids us both moving on a collision course which can be stressful all around. This one was at home just at the start of my run, so I diverted to get the camera....
