In Memory of my Dad

Posted by Gadfly , 28 March 2013 -

· 217 views

Those who knew or met my Dad, or knew me and how much I loved my Dad....would understand how devastated we all are after the tragic accident last week that took my Dad and 3 of his close friends away from us.

It's been a tough week, I have been unable to do much except try and help Mum, Gadfly family, and keep going. I haven't been able to run. ...

80km and Beyond!

Posted by Gadfly , 19 February 2013 -

· 126 views

Woo Hoo – made it past 80km! :yahoo:

81.6km to be precise :yahoo:

Narrabeen Allnighter in January didn’t go quite so much to plan for me this year – I ran a course PB (just) but wasn’t settled and wanted to be the other side of 75km…maybe even 80km – that lofty dream I had. My stomach had other ideas at...

Bling! 75km in an Icy night!

WARNING: Long post following!

75.699km!!!! Trophy!!!!!! :dance:

A week later and I can’t quite believe that it’s real. My last post I said I was aiming for closer to 80. Soon after starting and the temperature dropping significantly, it became more about just finishing rather than any km...

Closer to 80

Posted by Gadfly , 22 June 2012 -

· 201 views

It’s tomorrow night – Sri Chinmoy 12hr….and I’ll put it out there there I’m aiming for closer to 80km than before! I got to 72km at Narabeen, 41 laps (42km on Garmin) at Stromlo and aiming to get as close to 80 km as I can……if I go past – even better! I know that my lap count will be different...

Marathon - DONE! (Unofficially)

Posted by Gadfly , 26 February 2012 -

· 321 views

To those who have asked me from time to time, and a lot, more recently “when are you going to do a marathon ?” - I have just done it! Unofficially!!!!! I clocked up 41 laps at Stromlo in the 12 hr (2x 6hr team) and Garmin says 42.3km! So, I’m claiming it as my unofficial stand alone marathon. ...

Next Up …….stromlo 6Hrs!

Posted by Gadfly , 28 January 2012 -

· 357 views

Three weeks til I do it all again! 12 hr at Stromlo, but in a team with Ninjette – 6 hours each. Not quite such a crazy venture, although there are plenty of my family and friends who think I am!

Thanks to all who read and or commented on my Narrabeen entry – almost felt like a celebrity there for a while. It was such a great race, loved it...

72.4Km !

Posted by Gadfly , 10 January 2012 -

· 325 views

I can’t believe that there is now a 72.4km distance after my name. Previously 21.1km……. I did it! :yahoo:

Not sure where I managed to pull it from, but my legs are certainly telling me it’s true.

I had a ball – loved it – will do it again.

The lead up to Narabeen has been a long time coming, and on the night I was feeling pretty calm – it...

2 More Sleeps.......and Maybe A Snooze Or Two!

Posted by Gadfly , 05 January 2012 -

· 186 views

Well, it’s nearly time. It’s been a year in the making, and here it is.

Only 2 more sleeps!

It will be slow, it will be tedious, it will be a crazy thing to do, it will hurt (mentally and physically) but I am hoping it will be fun!

I know that Mr Gadfly thought I was crazy a year ago when I set out at midnight in the rain, to go and...

Entered!

OK, the cat is out of the bag.....not that it was a well kept secret anyway......I have just officially entered Narrabeen Allnighter for Jan 2012.

It ticks a fair few of the boxes that I 'don't do' - heat, humid, laps, bugs, long distance.....but, it's something I have been aiming towards all year and I'm really excited (and...

Srf And Shingles

Posted by Gadfly , 20 September 2011 -

· 171 views

While I wasn’t out there pounding the roads on Sunday – I was at home wishing I was……instead I was home battling the burning and pain that comes with shingles. Great timing, an itchy arm all week, turns a little worse on Friday and then overnight flares up badly……Saturday morning trip to the Dr (after a 2km run that I still went out for…….despite being...
