Bad Judge

Tried out my first speed session this morning.  Ran a 2k warm up to the ovals next to the Par 3 golf course and driving range, stopped at the first oval and ran a loop around the four light poles.  It was kind of like running bases is baseball.  According to Garmy it was about [...]

Longer run.

Ran to work this morning to take some readings, while I was there I also averted a possible crisis…good work me.  On the way home I was bored by the normal route, so I continued along Bridge road and came home via Dry Creek West.  All up 7.7k to work, 20mins rest (well actually work) [...]

Is that the pitter patter of tiny footsteps I hear?

Say hello to Bella the Beautiful, new member of the Simlin household.  She has been following me around all afternoon…she will make a good jogging partner all right.
This mornings walk was awesome, it was a Mountain Biker’s paradise and some of them had spent a lot of time building courses, jumps, ramps etc.  But standing [...]

Is this post really about running?

The return run to work this morning was quite enjoyable despite having a late night last night.  I went to bed early enough but couldn’t get to sleep because my brain was ticking over training strategies and potential goals if my SMH plans eventuate.  New questions have arisen today too, like should I do the Green [...]

Back on the horse

Back on the horse tonight, as a planned run at lunch time fell through, I decided to run home from work following a chance trip home in the afternoon to rescue a stranded fiance from an embarrassing locked myself out situation.  So it was back on the horse, or maybe my feet, as I trundled [...]

Internet Virus.

Well, I think I caught a nasty virus from 2P’s blog.  Somehow.  After last night I woke up this morning with nausea.  It was like I was back out there running too soon after dinner, but it wouldn’t go away.  I tried to go to work, but after 1hr, threw in the towel and headed [...]

Blurgh

*EDIT: added this one back in on 21/2 as as usual it was created as a page, sorry if the following posts didn’t make sense before*
Finally made it out tonight after Biggest Loser. It was disgusting. 3k in my dinner tried very hard to free itself from the depths if my stomach and like 2P [...]

Lazy, Lazy, Lazy

I have been a slack bitch.  didn’t run on Friday because I thought I would run Saturday and Sunday.  Then I looked at the weather forecast.  40+degC both days.  Friday I did do a bit of running, well not exact, but I am claiming it.  We went to a friends house for bbq and swimming [...]

Trouble Shooting “Get out of Jail free” card.

I’ve been a bit lazy of late, no running Monday or Tuesday and yesterday I ran at work with a colleague, 5k at lunch time.  I kept up a steady pace, building a little bit at the end to finish in an average pace of 5:50.  So that was good  The legs remembered how to [...]

There and back again…again.

A bit weary this morning after a little too much wine last night but having made a commitment to run into work I suppose I better get up and do the damn thing,  Beautiful morning for it though 19deg overcast and a cool breeze.  It was a slow plod though, over 7min/k pace, 15min of [...]
