Week 47The year is winding down! Only five weeks to go. After last week’s fantastic workouts, this week I felt pretty tired and run-down. (It doesn’t help that our cat is sick and he’s been keeping us up at night.) I managed to meet my distance goal but I didn’t feel very swift doing it.…

Week 46Another week’s distance goal met! This was actually a really great week for me in terms of training. I managed three runs and two sessions at Spudds, and I even got double-hundreds on the rower! Today’s run was windy but not too cold, and I felt pretty comfortable throughout. I tried out my new…

Week 45I met my distance goal for the week! Of course, that 10K run on Sunday helped.

2010 Rebel Sport Run4Fun 10KThis was my second year running this race (last year’s race report) and my first with the Snook beside me. A bunch of guys from my office were also signed up as well. We met Kunaal at Central Station at 7:15 and enjoyed an uneventful trip to Olympic Park. Once we…

Week 44I missed last week’s report, but it would have been depressing anyway. I’ve been having increased pain in my right foot (the one that’s been bothering me all year), and then last weekend I got knocked out by a virus. So my totals for the past two weeks are fairly low. Oct. 26: 6.01kmOct.…

Week 42The deadline crunch at work this week meant that I missed both my Monday yoga class and my Wednesday Spudds workout. I did get in all my runs though, and I think it really helped with my stress levels. Oct. 17: 10.02kmOct. 19: 6.00kmOct. 21: 6.09kmTotal this week: 22.04km (13.8mi)Total in 2010: 798.02km (498.7mi)…

Week 41Huh. I just realised that I trained on five out of the last seven days! That may be a personal record. Sunday was the WWFoR, of course, where I ran the Zen Run 10K. Monday I went to yoga class. Tuesday I was laid up all day with a killer headache, but Wednesday I…

Worldwide Festival of Races 2010Today was the much anticipated Sydney get-together for the Worldwide Festival of Races. We had six runners turn out for our event in Centennial Park: Kunaal, me, Andrew, JayDub, Eoin, and Jo. It was a glorious spring day and we had a great time running together. That’s the post-race photo though.…

Week 40Kind of an up-and-down week. I was just so TIRED at the start. It may have been related to Daylight Savings, or to all the physical work we did on Monday on the house. At any rate, Tuesday and Wednesday I just felt like a giant slug. This morning I had a great run…

Week 39A light week this week, as I got in two cross-training sessions (yoga and Spudds). I should’ve done another run today, but I just didn’t feel like it. I’ll make up the slack on this coming long weekend. 🙂 Sept. 26: 8.16km runSept. 28: 5.58km runTotal this week: 13.74km (8.5mi)Total in 2010: 732.97km (458mi)…
