Marathon Club 32km - Sunday 17th March

This is a tester to see where we are really at with our pace. Plan is to race this one, so we have semi tapered this week which has been great.

A few sleep in's and some amazing runs which including pods of dolphins + seeing lots of people I know have renewed my spark for running. I think this may have been...

So clearly I am crap at keeping this blog updated. Intentions are good, action not so much.

Maybe I can blame the training

Anyhoo we are 86 sleeps from Comrades. The nerves are at times keeping me awake at night but I am excited. Still no idea how the increase in training over the coming 2 months in going to impact my life but so far so good.

Entry is now complete......although I entered both myself and Kate and the cost for entry was different, so we are waiting on confirmation that it has all gone through and I didn't stuff it up.

We have been on a no running program for the past 3 weeks post City to Surf which has been awesome but hard all at once. The first week we did absolutely...

It's done

With all the worry leading up to the event it turned out to be the perfect race. Don't get me wrong there was some suffering as you would expect but everything went to plan.

The day was perfect conditions and surprisingly my usual level of nerves where I feel like I am going to bring my breakfast back up didn't happen. It was...

A new week

Posted by Kilee , 19 July 2012 -

Well the week finished better than it started. I think the body/mind just needed a rest and decided to shut itself down. On a positive note all training runs were achieved if in a slightly different order from planned. This brought with it, it's own set of challenges including a 4.30am rise to fit in the long run + a solo Tempo run down south.

Surviving the training just - although a close melt down yesterday saw me sleep until 2pm and miss interval training in the process. This is a little unusual so not sure what the deal is there.

Pace is looking good in the shorter Tempo / Interval runs but un proven over the longer distance.

The weekend just past - we entered the Wally Cairns Cross...

Wow - just read the entry from June last year where I put it out there to the world that I would be running Comrades 2013. That was a two year plan in the making.

Here I am a year later and the goal is getting closer. So what's happened since then:

Focus is still there

Running increased

Completed the Bunbury...
