An AccidentNo, it wasn’t me. I headed out this morning for a short jog around the neighborhood, and I headed up Wilson Street towards Newtown as I usually do. I felt pretty good. The sun was shining and it was cool but not cold. My hamstrings were a little sore from my workout at Spudds…

or TrainingBlog? …because it’s not so much just about running anymore, is it? I had a really interesting week. Monday was the power outage, which kinda killed my plans to go to Spudds. Instead I told myself that I’d go Tuesday. But Tuesday came and I felt crappy, and I whined to the Snook that…

It’s been awhile! Following the Melbourne Half-Marathon last month, I took a couple weeks off completely from running. Now I’m slowly starting to build up again. Tonight I decided to run/walk home from North Sydney, which was about 7km all up. It took me just short of an hour. I’ve been reading Runner’s World and…

Official Race PhotosHooray! I just got an email telling me to check the Race Photos from the Half-Marathon again. I looked before but there weren’t any of me, but now there are THREE! I’ll saved them here for posterity.Here I am just after passing the starting line. I feel like it should be captioned, “SERIOUS…

Melbourne Half-MarathonIf you’ve been following my training at all, you know that the last month has been difficult. I peaked too early, caught a cold, and found it difficult to stay motivated as Race Day approached. I think I expected that my second half-marathon would be way easier than the first, but that was definitely…
