Happy New Year

For various reasons I decided to give the Blackstump Fatass a miss today, instead I drove over to Gray’s Point Public School and ran four reps of the Temptation Creek loop.  This provided me with some good solid hills and the opportunity to practice some technical running, as most of my running has been on [...]

Getting things back together

It has been a while since my last post and so much has happened in that time.  I completed 6 Foot which no seems like it was months ago, but in reality it was only a couple of weeks ago.  I was really pleased with my run and achieved my personal goal of sub 6hrs, [...]

242.3

Sine my last post I put another 243.8km into my running legs. Life has been very hectic and stressful, so the blog has taken a back seat although there are not many readers out there, it a good record of my training, particularly after I accidentally lost 13 months of SportTracks data so I should try [...]

Another week gone…….

15 Jan:  Wild Wally.  I felt really tied during the [...]

Never hesitate

This week has definitely been one of many emotions.  On the way home Jindabyne last Sunday I visited my parents.  My mother undertook further tests and meet with her oncologist on 2 Jan.  Unfortunately, the cancer has spread further and she will not be receiving any further treatment.  We are now praying she will see [...]

I have blossomed…….

Wow, I have survived 10 nights and 11 days at my training camp, and can happily report I surprised myself with my ability to get through everything day after day, session after session. It was amazing how quickly the time passed, and it seemed to be a constant blur of training, eating, showering and [...]
