I said it last week and I will say it again…every week running up Waterfall Gully is getting harder. No surprises this week that it was harder, especially seeing as I am still recovering from the Tuesday morning group run.
The morning started out very painfully when one of my dogs, Bella the Bitch, decided that [...]

Corporate Cup 2008 – Run 7 – 4.5km Bike Path
24min39sec today for the final run. A Personal Worst for the series. Well what did you expect? I did run that 11km hard yesterday.
Once again sticking to the no warm up rule I set of with legs as stiff as a Southern breeze. They were tight from groin to ankle as I clomped my way [...]

Zone of comfort
Way out of that comfortable training zone this morning. The Tuesday morning Norwood Bowl group set off at a cracking pace, for me anyway, as we made our way around the “Glenside route”…you would have to be mental to be busting a supersized gut that early in the day.
Making our way through Dulwich, I was [...]

Just not enough.
Don’t tell CR Kaybee… who will accuse me of not running hard enough this morning when we ran the Black Hill Challenge route, but when I got home Mrs Simlin was still in bed…I was all ready dressed…smelly…and up so I grabbed the leads and took the dogs our for a “recovery” 4km run.
This morning [...]

Long Legs – You wish you had them
Following on from Tuesday morning’s group run, I took the dogs for a 6.5km run on Wednesday afternoon…it is great having the dogs because it gives me an excuse to go out for runs straight after work and the dogs pull me along. I am getting quite used to running with the leads and poop [...]

Kicking on
Yesterday I was feeling so grand all day that I took the dogs out for a short 4k-ish run in the evening, despite it being a rest day. I am not sure what effect this will have on the rest of my week as it will leave Thursday as my only rest day. Looking over [...]

Black Hill Training
Went out this morning with a small CR posse to run the Black Hill Challenge route…it is so much more fun with a group than by yourself and CR Kaybee…despite claiming to not have run hills before really pushed us when we were slacking off and as a result we finish the route 5mins faster [...]

Corporate Cup 2008 – Run 6 – 4.5km bike path
Today I didn’t set the garmin to a specific pace, I just wanted to get out there and run. I therefore started out at an easy pace working the legs into some sort of rhythm, but after being overtaken by a team mate and then another runner I stepped on the gas and tacked [...]

Tuesday Morning Group
Well, I finally made it to the Tuesday Morning SARRC running group at Norwood Bowl…and I even managed to get CR Kaybee there after 2 PMs. My calves have been sore the last two days but I am not sure if it was from the Black Hill recon, or the 4km I ran with the dogs [...]

Time to look ahead
Now that the big run of 2008 is over (Yurrebilla in case you missed it) it is time to look ahead to next year. What am I going to do? I have been thinking about this for some time…probably since I missed the Adelaide Marathon. My first goal is a 23min 5km time, so hopefully [...]
