Speak up people
No better word to describe it … Perfect!
This is my starting crew L to R, Karen, Nadia, Jane, Rachel, ME, Nigel. Remember, it was Rachel and Nigel’s idea. They HAD to be there This is a photo of Kylie and I reaching the Bridle Path. Kylie joined in from Leg 4 And then from Evans Pass, Lyndal popped out on her MTB … Read more
Two more sleeps
Just two more sleeps. One of those beginning as soon as I put this post to bed. Man I’m funny – not. Rachel’s still training. Makes me feel like I’m delicate since all I’m doing is rolling around the floor getting in some last minute stretching. Trying to make up for stretching that didn’t take … Read more
Last run before THE run
I finally managed to do a training session. Though this week all I had was today’s 30 minute level 5 run on the flat before Friday’s 42.2kms. It was so nice. Ok, it was a little hard, it was meant to be, but it was just so nice to RUN. No slowing down to navigate … Read more
Almost time to shut up shop
I’m into my last week of "training". Well actually, it’s now tapering. Though really, last week was probably the slackest week of tapering known to mankind. It was listed as tapering but I almost did NOTHING! Anyway, I have no doubts that I’ll be able to run the off-road marathon come Friday. Just need to … Read more
Raise money – check
Some time back I set up a fundraise page to receive donations for the Leukaemia & Blood Foundation. My goal was $500.00. I didn’t realise how difficult it would be. Though I never thought it was going to be dead easy. I was scared about how much to make the goal. I’d have felt terrible … Read more
No! Not now
I’ve managed to keep up my training injury free. Yay me! Ok, so I slipped and did hurt myself the other week, but it was my elbow. My legs were (miraculously) saved. I’ve managed to avoid Mark’s flu. Everything was going well. I’ve heard of others who are under the weather battling bugs and I’ve … Read more
The last BIG run
4 hours is a long time, but it’s still a lot less than I expect the marathon to take. This 4 hour run I decided to take some Perpetuem with me. Last time I got to just past 3hrs and I really started to fade fast. I know there’s at least another 4 hours of … Read more
The countdown is on
There’s less than two weeks until I’m running my birthday marathon. Tomorrow is my last long run. 4 hours. That’s only going to be just over half way of what I suspect the run will be on that day. If you’re a God-fearing person. Pray for fine weather on the day, and put in a … Read more
Doing what you can
With Mark being infected with the "man flu" my sleep has taken another hit and I’m really tired. Not a lot of sympathy for Mark when he’s coughing up a lung for 2.5 hours in the early hours of the morn. I’m mindful of what Richard said about stressing the body. This week has been … Read more
