From 28k’s on my legs really tired and my pace which was around 5 minute 40 sec k’s really dropped off.
Many, many thanks for all your support I am so glad I got there …

Thanks so much! Last night we achieved my goal of raising $5000 for CURE CANCER AUSTRALIA! YOU BEAUTY!
What is great is that all that money means that it is contributing to the cure by funding researchers to stay and work in Australia and help find the CURE.
CANTOO recently announced that they had raised $2 MILLION DOLLARS since starting in [...]
We have rounded the bend and the training campaign is nearly over, it has been long and arduous, but rewarding, very rewarding.
The last two weeks have been all about winding it back and “tapering” taking it easy. Two Saturdays ago was 16kms, last Saturday was 10kms so you get the idea. Since Saturday I have been [...]
Saturday Morning Was A Cracker …. “A Real Gem Of Day”!
To quote my good pal the Baldman!
But it was the morning for us to run 35km and it was a mammoth run.
I started slowly but mid way through the pace really picked up with those I was running with. We got up Heart Break Hill in [...]
In true inspiring fashion a little man from Kenya Sammy Wanjiru won the Olympic Mens Marathon on Sunday in an Olympic Record time of 2 hours 6 minutes 32 seconds. Breaking a record that has stood since 1984! And they said it would not happen in Beijing …

It has been said that Lawn Bowls is a sport for the people and going on the [...]

This week was 32km back in home territory running from Centennial Park to North Bondi and back via Heartbreak Hill and Military Rd. A run that I knew and hoped I would like …
All started well, with a group of us running along and watch for “Hazards” along the way. We made our way up Heart Break [...]
Last week was a sensational effort … The Saturday long run was 30K starting from Milsons Point under the bridge. However the last three quarters was on ‘new territory’ running through Mosman, Cremone Point to Sirrus Cove. Stunning views! But I was not prepared and did not print a map! So a group of us took [...]
The recovery week was short lived and before I knew it we arrived at Saturday on it was time to run 28k. Now let me tell you we are staring to really get into distances now. 28k that is far …
But mission accomplished …. with a time of 3hrs 40 min, including a rather large [...]
