Recent 10k time. 38:52 November 2009
Short-Term Running Goals: Compete in another Half Marathon and get a decent time - under 1:20 would be great! Step up to 5 days a week running.
Long-Term Running Goals: Keep running with as little injury as possible and achieve the sub-3 dream (Accomplished!!! 2010). Next dream is to improve my half-marathon and 10km time.
Personal:
I am 40 years old and married with two young children. I have been training on and off for the last 10 years. I have been training three times a week for the most part but hoping to step that up to 5-times a week and see if I can avoid injuries, although 3 seems to be about as much as I can manage with work and family. "Run less, run faster" is my running bible that has helped my do just that. 1 steady, 1 quick and 1 long seems to keep my fast enough for my input.

First 10k race for years. Got to the race and soon realised it was going to be a hill race on account of a super climb in the car. Wasn't feeling tip top with training and so on but I gave it a good try. 1 mile : 6.03 2: 6.30 (going up hill) 3:.6.55 (still going up) 4: 7.20 (ouch - tough hill) 5: 6.05 6: 6:03 Pretty pleased with the run but the hill was a surprise. I was hoping for a 37 something time.

| Recovered from three days of chronic diarrhea, it wiped me out and meant that I could not do any training. Today's run was a test, I didn't feel so bad so I will do the half on Sunday but not going to be on top form. | |

31 Degrees, it was baking out there. So I lined up at the start fairly well hydrated but without any carbo-gels which I had asked someone to bring but hadn't met them unfortunately. I started off felling ok but it gradually deteriorated into a painfully slow pace, no doubt because of the virus I had causing a two-day diarrhea fest. Times: 1 5.57 2 6.11 3 6.36 4 6.26 5 6. 24 6 7:07 7 6:40 8: 6:47 9: 7:39 10 7:16 11 7:20 12 8:11 (stopped to drink two cups at the water station) 1:52
Time: 1:24:32 (12.28 miles)
It was a 5k lap ran four times with a hill in the middle; up and down the same one, but bu the 3rd half of the 3rd lap I was feeling drained to the point that I thought seriously about stopping. Mainly I was dehydrated but also my legs had no reserves. I literally jogged the last mile as I had given up all hope of getting a time. Still, it is good to get a bad race out of the way. That was the last race of the season here as from now temp's raise up the the mid-30's and beyond. Next raceprob. Sept or October sadly.

| Snatched a run when I got home for 20 minutes with my Nike Free 5's. Easy run with a big hill and a nice flat home run. Stuck in a 6.30 pace mile but jogged the rest back home. |

| 7 miles easy run av. 7.20-30 p.mile. Didn't have much time, just an hour before some work and although I would have loved to make it a 10- miler I had to stop at 7. Nice conditions too, a little rain and not so bad wind today. Cool conditions. 7.10 start.

| 7.56 miles. 5pm Raining slightly but not much wind for a change. 1) 6:55 2) 6:48 3) 6:35 4) 6:37 (1.03 miles) 5. 6.06 (.97 miles) 6) 6:14 7) 6:45 (1.04 miles) .52 miles (3:12) Great run in the rain helped by seeing some other runners training along the river. I bumped into them on about mile 4 and followed them but they were a bit quick for me. Great chasing them and when they finished they just vanished suddenly. They had some coaches holding their drinks but no sign of the runners - it was weird.

| 8.29 miles 5pm Cool after the rain.Wasn't keen ongoing for a run today for some reason but I stuck to my guns and put my shoes on. I only decided to do an 8-miler on mile 2 of the course, glad I did it though as it was a great run despite a nasty head wind. 1: 6.35 2: 6:31 3:6:12 4: 6:15 5: 6:13 6: 6:23 7: 6:17 8: 6:26 .29 miles: 1:46 PE 4/5 It flowed really well right through the whole run, well pleased.
