I repeated the hour run as RJ missed the week before and I figured it can only be good to repeat.  It does put me 10minutes behind weekly schedule but I will make that up.  It was a really nice run and [...]

Its funny with running, how day to day the way you feel about it is different.  I loved Sunday’s hour run but today was a slog!  I struggled for the first 20 minutes and then the last 10min felt better.  It may have been the pace I was going [...]

Was originally going to meet RJ down at the Tan this morning for our our weekly Sunday run but she decided this morning for a number of reasons not to run.  I toyed with the idea of running at Albert Park Lake but then decided to go to Princes [...]

Very lucky today as I was able to run down at Albert Park Lake.  Such a beautiful morning even though it was a little foggy and cold.  When I initially got out of the car I thought I had rocks in my head but once I started my [...]

I arrived home with troops in tow after a day’s outing at about 4pm.  I was hoping to get out for a run before dark but it depended on hubby to get up in time as he was catching some zzzz’s after working last night.  When it hit about 5.30pm, [...]

Sometimes I just turn into a crazy woman!!  I was all dressed and ready for a run on Tuesday morning and next thing I find, I am in Active Feet and I have bought these  I suppose I should explain this impulsive behaviour.  The Asics Gel Nimbus shoes that I bought and started [...]
