1 hr - Ran the River route again, but this time took new field support rep and room mate Andrew Collins. We took a path trying to retrace the way I came home the other day. We ran about 9 min miles was my guess. Andrew has done some adventure style races and mud runs, … Continue reading The river revisted

1 hr 15 min - This morning I left the hotel to run as it was still dark. Not knowing which way to go, I figured that the path surrounding the stadium oval I could see from my room was a good place to try for. It was under construction, with an older soccer pitch … Continue reading Adelaide solo run

7 miles. I came early to find only one car in the lot before me... A girl that ran the first half lap with me in the parking lot. Hannah was new to the running schedule but I'd seen her at the track workouts, she is looking to do a few local runs and is … Continue reading Cooler and dedicated
4 mi. I arrived and the group had just begun warming up. It was a still morning, the benefits of October weather still haven't arrived. But they will.

Track is supposed to awaken the fast twitch side … Continue reading Stretching things a bit
