But the load increased over the past two weeks.
In short: week ending 22/2/09 - 87 kms, including a 30K + long run & some solid effort work.
week ending 1/3/09 - 94 kms, including 31.5 km long run along Altona foreshore and again, some solid tempo work, where things are slowly getting better. Will I hit triple figs next week? unlikely, in light of the Weston Creek half marathon on Sunday taking out 10kms or so of running, but I could double up the Monday after with some easy work in Canberra and another run on arrival back in Melbourne town.
February - hmm. 253 kms run, 5 days missed (so 23 days of running). Racing? I don't remember. Excuses? school stress. Injuries/illness: migraines/severe headaches taking away 2 - 3 days training & time off school.
March - major races? 2. Weston Creek half + 15K in Werribee. Aims? more k's & two solid results, ideally sub 78 in Canberra & sub 55 in Werribee. 2:30 to 2:50 covered in long runs (early starts). Get on top of school caper.

A journal about a running hack, his trials and tribulations and his adventures on the Planet Earth and his own planet...and other stuff.
About Me
- ads
- An engaged running hack (to the gorgeous Jen) with children named Kevin and Jeffrey who look remarkably like guinea pigs. I allegedly teach children (it boosts my bank account fortnightly) and seek to physically and mentally stretch my boundaries.
What makes me tick:
- interesting people
- smart conversation
- good beer and coffee (not at once unless it's a crazy stout)
- Food: pizza, mexican, chocolate, granny smith apples
- Sports beside running: lots - cycling, triathlon (if only I could swim!), AFL (Go Doggies), Basketball, Tennis, cricket, Gridiron and a bit of soccer. All but gridiron have something in common - I've had a crack and totally sucked at all of them
- Movies - Bourne trilogy, Flying High, Animal House, The Fugitive, Life is Beautiful, Downfall, The Lives of Others, Charlie Wilson's War, Scarface, Ali...just to name a few
- Music - Bad Religion, Public Enemy, Faith No More, Soundgarden, Pennywise, Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, Ben Harper, System of a Down, Johnny Cash...just to name a few
What craps me off
- All the cliched stuff......
- the pretentious, the fake, the biased, the negative, the whiny, the ignorant, the ill-mannered, dumb ockers, the self-important, the hypocritical and the deceptive.
- I'd say the mainstream and middle of the road, but that's a bit pretentious and wanky, and that's the top of the crap list...
Racing goals
- In short, continuous improvement and staying competitive, but for specifics, here goes...
- sub 78:00 half pre-Canberra
- under my age for the 10 from here on in
- 12:35 or better at the Tan
- 3000m 9:35 or better
- 5000m (track and/or road) 16:50 or better
- 800m 2:08 or better
- 1500m 4:25 or better
- a 2:45 marathon or better in 2009
