    Realisation: lighthouses are built on bleak promontories. Our cute little cottage is now being buffeted by the Roaring 40’s. Seriously.

    Warm day! Slowed down 2nd half due to sore back.


  • RunningBlog: Week 34

    A bit tired and sore this week. I’m also feeling a little depressed about my lack of speed, especially when CERTAIN PEOPLE have already massively surpassed me after just a few months’ training. (*cough* Snook. *cough*) But I continue to plug away, turtle that I am. Sunday we did a 9:45 Magic Mile around Victoria Park and then jogged a bit through Newtown to hit four miles. Monday I went to Spudds after work. Tuesday I did a lunchtime run around the Botanic Gardens by myself. Wednesday I went to Spudds again. Lastly, today I did a lunchtime run with Raj.

    Aug. 21: 6.68km
    Aug. 23: 5.92km
    Aug. 26: 5.91km
    Total this week: 18.51km (11.5mi)
    Total in 2011: 785.47km (490.9mi)

    To meet my goal of running 1200km in 2011, I should be at 784.6km. I am ahead… but only JUST. I’m just not racking up the miles the way I was on my marathon training! Staying focused to hit my goal for the end of the year is going to be a challenge.
