Well, can you believe it?! Entries for the 2016 GC marathon open in 9 days!
http://goldcoastmarathon.com.au/
The boys at work are committing again so it's time to start cranking the k's up again. We're hoping to get a bigger team together for this one.
I've done nothing for 2 weeks with my crook back (was going ok prior to that) and am tipping the scales at 99.7kg this morning.... ouch.
Going to take a different approach this year. Will cut back big time on the grog (after Christmas of course) and slightly on the hoota .
Was disappointed with the time last year so want to get back on track for a PB (the day before my 49th birthday).
The goal at this stage is to be down around the 85-88kg mark and run a time close to that elusive 3:45. Let the fun begin _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Just capped off my first week back in training with a 10k run in cooler (35 degrees) last night after work. 38k's after 5 weeks off, most of them in 40+ temperature after 12 hour shifts.
Feeling pretty good, been drinking every night, only a few mids.
The big test is when I get home, Dads 70th on New years eve could be a blow out
Most of the other guys are back into it too. We're looking at a few more joining us from work next year, a few coming along to do the half.
I'm the oldest and have been getting a fair bit of flak for my average effort last year, they better be on their toes coz I'm going to surprise them this time. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Great effort!!
I'll be picturing that training in the heat while resting on the couch for as long as I can get away with after having a very decent crack on Boxing Day!! _________________ "I am a great sage, equal of heaven.

My first alcohol free day for...... weeks??
Ran a slow 7k, it was still 38 degrees and I was stuffed from 2 previous shitty nights sleep. Had a tin of tuna, lots of water and was in bed at 1920hrs. Feel great today .
Last day on-site, I'm on the 0730hr plane outa here tomorrow. Forecast is for 43 today, will probably do 10k after work and have just a couple of brews after that, can't wait to get home and see how much Pete has grown! _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Pete's my dog.... the little Bully pup, nearly 4 months old now.
You work slow! Lotsa breaks in the shade, drink 6+ litres of water/day & plenty of sunscreen. You actually get used to it. We had one year where it was over 47 for 8 days in a row. I love running in the heat, just have to adjust ur pace, run more to ur heart rate & carry 2 litres if water in a camelback 👌 _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |
