Go back, but take a gun, a knife and a wheelbarrow.

Awesome 12k interval run in the bush last night.
Steered well clear of the cow zone
It'll be 2 rest days then a slow 5 or 6k soft sand run on Saturday before competing in tbe Joondalup half marathon on Sunday. A forecast minimum of 10 degrees with light winds & showers could see me beat my PB of 1:40:41... would love to break the 100 minutes. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

An hour and a half until start time.
I had a few yesterday, 4 x JD & Dry cans and at least 10 beers. Feeling pretty average this morning.
One piece of toast and vegemite and a coffee and I'm just about to head off. Will be very surprised if I beat 1:50 the way I'm feeling right now. Got a slight twinge in the left calf, hope that can stick out the 21.1k's.
I'll let you know how it went in a few hours. Then it's off to Boobiaco to watch the boys towel up these cocky clowns. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Unfaniken believable!
Was absolutely smashing it, my fastest k was my 18th, started picking up the pace at the 14th when I realised the magical 100 minute half was within reach. Took some water at a water station with 2.5k to go.... down hill slope and just gota run 4:40's for the last section and I'll do it.
Ping, right groin goes, devastated, must be Buckleys fault, .
Anyway, muttering obscenities as I dawdle to the finish line, I realise I missed it.
Was my 3rd best half Marathon time (done 30 odd) so I'm sorta happy.
Got a massage and some stretching straight after, I've popped 2 valium and had a single dose of medicinal Marijuana, it's feeling better. (yes TP, I've hydrated, had a steak, egg & pork strip before I start drinking )
I'm off to the game now, via a couple of pubs. Go PIES! _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Rested until yesterday, then did an easy 5k soft sand run on the beach. Didn't feel 100%, but not too far off.
Back at work now, had an anti-inflammatory this morning and I'll test it out on the track after work. Hoping to get in 10-12k.
This will be my last swing before having 5 weeks at home (gota look after the missus after her op). Plan is to get in some really good training and eating to hopefully be at my peak in 8 weeks time. *^%*%^, it's gone so quick!
Plan is to do the HBF run for a reason half later this month and give that PB another nudge.
Cooler weather and running with a headlamp on this week should make for some interesting journeys, will keep you posted.

Just had one four weeks ago, and while I haven't fully recovered yet I'm well on the way. It's great you'll be around for her. Best wishes. |

The injury has come good, although I haven't fully stretched out yet, won't until later in the week.
2 AFDs to go with the 11.5k & 12.5k I've done since being back on site.
How quickly the weather changes. Just over a month ago was running in 38+ every night. Last night I had long leg skins, a t-shirt under my tank top and a head lamp on. There was a strong cold southerly blowing.
We go from highs nudging 50 in summer to lows below zero out here over the year. I think i prefer the heat..... but not the flies that come with it!
Probably punch out 15k tonight. Looking forward to this next half. 100 minutes, here i come _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |
