The day was an absolute spanking one for the MM yesterday, perfect conditions! Met up with RJ around 9:30am and we hung around St Kilda Road opposite the Transport waiting for Flick (CR) to come through who was doing the half. Saw her and gave her a mighy cheer She got quite a mouthful of abuse from a runner as [...]
Ok, I have had the insane moment and have entered the 5km at MM!! I just couldn’t let it go by and have to say it was completely the social side of things that tipped me The sort of bright side is it only cost $50 instead of $55 that was advertised on page of [...]
Went for a run down at Princes Park this morning and it was already quite humid by the time I set off. Had a bit of a sleep in so I didn’t get there until about 8.30am. All felt good apart from normal pain in the butt I ended up having to cancel two [...]
I almost didn’t make this run today as I slept in and nearly decided to just roll over and go back to sleep. What got me there was that I had made the decision that this was the run that was going to get me back on track. I managed to get out the door by 7am. After [...]
It has been quite hectic in my household and we are in school holiday mode. We have RJ’s two boys over for a few days and with the my two boys, to say it is noisy, is a bit of an understatement My boys received the World Tour Guitar Hero Playstation kit which has drums, [...]

I thought I would try and pull them into line and sent them back to bed with the time of 7am to get up. That lasted until 5:50am and I gave [...]
Since running the 1/2 at MM in October, I have only done about 2-3 training runs and completed the 4km Spring into Shape which was a walk/run with my 10 year old son. My plan was to keep running 2 short runs and 1 long run up to 10km a week which was the advice from my [...]
Well I think I managed to experience every conceivable emotion possible for my stay in Perth. We came home on Monday and it has taken me a week to recover. I have been feeling totally exhausted!! I won’t bore you with the family saga’s but there were many. I will say this though, going home [...]
running I set the alarm for 6am this morning and when it went off, I got up, looked outside and it was raining. Now, because I had lost my mojo, I went back to bed, there was no way I was running in the cold and the rain. 15 minutes later I was up again checking, [...]
I have joined a 12 week on-line Weight Watchers challenge with the goal of losing my damn pesky 5kg in this time frame. What sucked me into this one, as I have joined many and failed dismally, is you are rewarded with sparkly stars when you achieve something. Each week there is a specific goal, [...]
