  1. RUN
    great Long Run to Work 22.01 km 02:12 09:39 pace

    Caught the train 1/3 of the way to work and ran the rest, following the lovely Gardener's Creek Trail. The calves are still sore from my 5fingers run a few days ago so took it easy. Was consis... read more

  2. RUN
    great Base Run 10.23 km 00:59 09:20 pace

    Sunday lunch run in the 5fingers. Realised after i was already out the door that the Garmin was flat. Oh well! Followed a well known 10km course without any further info, just for the pure fun (alt... read more

    great Base Run 11.43 km 01:00 08:29 pace

    Sunset run along the Patterson River, plus a bit of spice! Feeling speedy so set a faster pace. Was working a bit at the end but loving it. Always good when the world just seems to effortlessly sli... read more

    Gloomy morning for a run. Check out the wind!

  5. RUN
    great Tempo Run 11.03 km 00:58 08:29 pace

    Seems that when you're feeling crap you might as well make the run as hard as possible, because it's going to be a slog anyway. Did that and it was actually really good in the end. 5km te... read more

  6. RUN
    good Base Run 14.08 km 01:26 09:50 pace

    The blahs still have me, along with this damn lingering cold; nothing awful, just annoying. Probably need more sleep. Otherwise a good run at an easy pace. Cold and windy and just missed the rain. ... read more

  7. RUN
    good Base Run + Strides 8.87 km 00:53 09:34 pace

    A bit cold, a bit wet, a bit windy. Wasn't really in the mood to run this morning but glad i did (as always!). 4x100m strides to finish and one round of my body weight strength routine. Time f... read more

    good Long Run 18.02 km 01:46 09:27 pace

    On Sunday, Linda C. and I will be running the Mother's Day Classic, so I moved my weekend long run to today. Was out well before dawn into a clear crisp morning. Conditions were perfect. Kept ... read more

  11. RUN
    good Tempo Run 8.35 km 00:46 08:46 pace

    A short-ish tempo to start the day. Still feeling blah but the body is fighting (crashed on the couch at 9pm last night, which almost never happens!). The Garmin isn't giving splits so just we... read more

  12. RUN
    good Base Run + Strides 13.43 km 01:22 09:51 pace

    Nice to fit in a healthy dose of early morning distance, but feeling a little off due to the cold that's going through the house right now. Six strides in the middle to loosen the legs; it... read more

    great Easy Run 10.23 km 01:05 10:16 pace

    An easy evening run to finish off the working week. Second one in the five fingers; a little tight by the end but fine overall. Now to sit back with a JD and watch the Pies smash the Saints!

      Wow! Thanks for sending the clips on AFL. So much fun, even crazier than watching the Ultimate Fighting Championships. I'll have to check to see if anyone televises Australian football in the US!
