Unbelievable! It’s nearly May!!!!

Monday 21 April 2008
Run in Royal National Park. Only ran for 16mins as I had to run before the kids got up but when it was light. First few minutes saw a [...]

Canberra to Cronulla and Beyond…

Canberra was fantastic. I didn’t run but I cheered my heart out (and nearly lost my voice!). Bevan had a great time and I think he’s one step closer to becoming a coolrunner himself Thanks everyone for making him feel so welcome. He thinks youse are all choice.
Highlights were many so apologies to the [...]

My “new walking buddy” is coming to pick me up to take me to Canberra very soon so I’ve time for a quick post.
Headed out for 30mins this morning at 6:20am. I know because I checked the time when I strapped Gretel on my wrist. So off I trot to do my White’s Creek Loop [...]
Long Time No Run…

…with Caro so we arranged to meet up for a morning run. Ran together for 30mins at a pace that felt just slightly too fast (I’ve been reading Lydiard so am playing around to find my “maximum steady pace”) but given that I was filling her in on the recent events in my life I [...]

Don’t Make Me Laugh!
Posted in pole dancing, run on Monday, 7 April, 2008 | 4 Comments »
My hip hurts when I laugh. Why? I don’t really know.
It could have been pole class…where I managed to go upside down on the pole unassisted for the first time. I am now sporting some nice scratches on my legs from my own fingernails!
It could have been the run this morning 30mins doing HR fartlek* on [...]
Warm, Cold, Warm, Cold

Headed out the door at 5:50 to go to the pool. Missed my bus and briefly debated walking the 20mins there or waiting 8 mins for the next bus. The bus won.
Got to the pool and swam 1 x 100m with kickboard, 2 x 100m freestyle and 1 x 200m with pool buoy as warmup. Then swam [...]
Being Unfit Sux

My energy levels have been so much better since the last course of herbs from the Doctor that it was a bit of a shock to the system today to have one of those days where I felt like I weighed 300kg and wanted to sleep all day. So I decided to stay in bed till [...]
Taking Bites out of Marion

Set off for my morning run at a cracking pace (for me) of 5.55/km average pace. It was an accident. I felt like I was running at my normal pace…whatever that means. I decided not to deliberately slow down but to let my body dictate the pace (ie ignore the Garmin). The next km had [...]
