WEEK 24.5K
MONTH 120.4K
YTD 198.4K
It's been almost a week since I have posted. I didn't realise that it had been that long. It is also the first week this year that I haven't run with any of my regular run groups, a combination of the rain and feeling wrecked after work has been the reason for this.
On Monday at work we done some sprint type training which I was a bit sceptical about. The fact that most people who run these sessions have never ran on a regular basis in there life, makes me feel this way. However to my suprise the session was actually quite good, the only downside was that alot of the activities required everyone to partner up with someone. Not blowing my own trumpet here, but most people at work are not very fit and are not runners so the level of intensity was a little tame.
Wednesday is usually the night of the run group from the Run Inn, however after riding to work and taking some fella's through a small interval training session, I didn't really feel like running later that night. Instead I went for a nice casual 7k run at 5min/k pace to round the day out with 9.5k of running and 26k of riding.
Yesterday, I had organised a work mate to conduct my 6 monthly fitness assessment. I had organised it so that I could do the test and then begin my normal workday. I was due early next month and is my first one since my operation. Early in my career I used to be concerned about what I achieved, however over the years this has changed somewhat. There is a minimum standard and two incentive levels to aim for however if the incentive levels are achieved there is no reward, no recognition of your result. After the test is complete your results are not recorded just a P for pass which is placed on file. In saying this I do have personal pride and always aim higher than the minimum standard, on occassions I go all out to see what I can still do and compare the results to my younger days.
6.30 the test began and I was one of about ten people doing the test. I however was the only person getting it recorded the others where doing remedial training as they had failed the test a month prior. Pushups are first exercise and I have to achieve 35 in 2 mins to pass, I haven't been doing much upper body lately and I usually like to achieve 50 or more, I did reach 50 but that was all I was capable of doing. The next component is situps, feet held to a cadence of 1 every 3 secs. This is a very easy component as most people with no Ab strength can use their hip flexors alot to assist, this can somtimes be a problem as the next component is a run. I reached the max of 100 reps. The run leg is 2.4k and is a generic distance for alot of government jobs that have fitness tests, such as the police force and all three defence services. Due to my age I have 11.48 to pass, yesterday morning I decide I was going to do 2 laps of this track, the first lap time being recorded for my test the second to just do for some training. It was pouring down when we started and actually very nice, my aim was to just be comfortable and run the 2 laps consecutive in under 10 mins per lap. I ended up finishing the first in 9.14 and turned around and completed the second lap in 9.43, so just over 20 mins for 5 k if I had run another 200m. After the test I got changed to start the work day with another hour of exercise.
Today I didn't get up for the monthly time trail, which was run out at Shorncliff, I wanted a sleep in which felt good. Tonight I have been invited to a mates house for a few drinks for his B'day, which will be an early night fingers crossed as I hope to make it to BRRC for the 20K.

1st Neighbourhood Run
Week - 10k
Month - 105.9
YTD - 183.9
Today the plan was to go for a jog around my new neighbourhood for the first time since moving here. The distance however was a little up in the air, after reading a few blogs today where alot of fellow bloggers have been racking up some serious mileage I had a brief urge to do the same and was thinking about doing a long slow afternoon training run.
This came to an abrupt end when I began running, I strapped on the Garmin and set off. I felt great, the 72 hours rest I had, has done wonders for my energy levels. So great in fact that my long slow run was blown out the window when my body took control and decided to be 30 secs per km faster than the plan of 5 min/k pace.
I tried to ease up on the pace which worked for about 400m but then it would slowly increase back to below 4.30 pace. It seemed as though I had no control today and my body was telling me that I was running this pace no matter what. I was fighting a losing battle and eventually decided to keep on the pace and end the session at 10k.
Being new to the area I had a route planned in my head, however I didn't know what type of distance it was. The route was a little shorter than expected and I had to run around parks and along bike tracks before heading home to make up the 10k. I eventually made it home in 45.02secs for 10.02km so pretty much spot on 4:30 pace. I felt good but I really do need to start getting some longer runs under my belt. Apart from Caboolture all my longer runs have all been around 1hr 15 min on average, something I will try and rectify in the next few weeks.
I thing I did notice was the lack of people out doing the Sunday afternoon exercise, something that was very popular in the area I used to live in, abit disappointing, the neighbourhood seems like a ghost town, no friendly faces around at all.

This weeks run down
Warning - This is a fairly long one
I haven't been able to get on the computer due to some issues with the phone line, but hopefully that is sorted now.
This week has been quite busy with a fair amount of exercise, well for me that is. So I wil begin from the start of the week.
Monday AM - PT for work consisted of a circuit with a whole range of activities for the whole body. The time per station was based on a small run cct where the people would shout out change to indicate it was time to move to the next activity. Good overall workout not really that hard but.
PM - Saw me ride to my new place from work for the first time, it is alot further than the 7k that I was used to riding. The distance is about to 26km now so I get home abit later. I wont be doing that everyday of the week that is for sure. It is really junk miles but something is better than nothing. The journey takes about 45-50mins.
Tuesday - This was a bludge day, I had to travel in the afternoon to Caboolture to do some work so I missed the daily PT session and by the time I got home I really didn't feel like doing much.
Wednesday AM - Work PT session was a team game of touch football cross with American football, it was pretty tiring running around doing some short sprints constantly for 40 mins or so.
PM - Once again I rode home (26K), I got out of work late and arrived home at about 5:10 pm. My wife had to work this night so I had about 10 mins rest enough time for a quick drink and get suited up for the usual Wednesday run group at the Run Inn. 5:20 I was in the car driving to drop the wife off before going to Phils group.
At 6:30 we set off with a rather large group of about 12, the weather was quite humid. The plan was to run about 70 mins but by the half way mark we lost about 1/4 of the group who decided to cut it short. I continued on, but the run was very fragmented with alot of drink stops. I was stuffed by the end and was glad to be finished for the night. We covered about 13K in a little over an hour.
Thursday - Is sports day at work just like school the military have 1/2 a day of work followed by all types off sport. I do Triathlon which I haven't been training for at all. On the program was 1.2k run, 200m swim, 8k bike, 100m swim and a 2k run to finish off. My run leg is the strongest and entered transition first in 4 min 5 sec for the 1200m, thats were it ended I have lost all swimming ability and was just staying afloat, the remainder of the race I was feeling pretty tired and just took it sensible. I finished the event in around 38 mins, I really do need to do some swim work.
PM - Interval session at the Track, as usual the night consisted of a total of 4k. Phil decided to do a session where the distance increased for each interval. I was puffed and it was a last minute decision to run. I decided that this was the last session for me until Sunday. The recovery was between 200 - 400m jog recovery but most of us tried to stretch this out as much as possible. The distances and time were;
400m - 1.17
500m - 1.39
600m - 1.58
700m - 2.20
800m - 2.45
1000m - 3.36 ( I had nothing in this leg)
Friday - Work PT something that I cant get out of, however it was rope climbing not really cardio work or running so from here on nothing until Sunday and while Im writing this I feel alot better much more energy. Tomorrow I have no idea what I will do maybe something around 10k.
Week - 36.1k

BRRC - 10 miler
Week 16.1
Month 75.9
YTD 153.9
I'm back, I have finally moved house and have completed all the unpacking, it's time now to catch up on all the blogs I have missed over the past week or so.
I woke up on Sunday morning in a awesome hotel my inlaws had booked for my wife and I on Saturday night. They were visiting and staying at the same hotel (Stamford Plaza in the city), and to spend more time with us they paid for the room. This is were my dilemma occurred, you can just imagine how hard it is to wake up at 5 am Sunday morning in a 5 star hotel, let alone waking up knowing that you are about up to put yourself through pain. I then looked out the window to see it was pouring, great! 10 miles in the pouring rain or a king sized bed in a great hotel. Decisions, I knew what I wanted to do, but also knew what I should do, so insanity took over and I drove to the race. The amount of willpower it took to ring the concierge and get my car so I could drive and run that morning was huge.
I didn't know at the time but the race was the first club championship race of the year. A ten miler and to my surprise the turn out was infact pretty good considering. The race actually started a little late due to the rain slowing the registration process. I arrived a little late and like many others had a quick minute warm up before the start. Perfect preparation.
The run consisted of a 1.1k loop followed by the normal 5k loop which we completed three times, by the start of the run the rain had pretty much stopped.
The run went pretty well, I felt comfortable the whole race, and actually enjoyed the distance. Im feeling alot fitter and the knee is great. The only split I can remember is at the 11.1k mark, starting my last 5k loop I crossed the start/finish line at 50:29 i then continued on to complete the 10 miles (16.1k) in 73:05.
The presentations began about 1/2 hour after the finish, and to my surprise I got third in my age group and received a shiny bronze medal for my effort. There were also some other great results with Tesso, Clairie and Hannah all receiving much deserved gold medals. Clairie was also third female overall which she achieved by running a PB.

Caboolture and week update
Week 16.4k
Month 59.8k
YTD 137.8k
I am in the process of moving house and haven't had the opportunity to post or even read any blogs over the past few days. So I will start with last Saturday.
The Caboolture 6/12 hour run was last Saturday in which at the spare of the moment I entered into the event as part of a 3 x 2hr relay. It was a great night however I had to cut it short and didn't get the opportunity to hang around to watch the whole event. I was told two days prior that I had to work on Sunday morning which was a shame. I didn't even get a great opportunity to speak to many of the coolrunners and fellow bloggers as I was obligated to help with the administration of my team by counting laps and helping with drinks etc.
My teams mates done very well I was part of a father and son combo, Errol who is 65 years old I hope he doesn't mind me saying that and his son Geoff. Errol who is an inspiration ran first and covered 43 laps in 2hrs, the laps were around 500m long. At the end of the 2hrs I had to wait a minute or so for Errol to complete his lap before setting off, my goal was to run further than I have ever before which is a 1/2 marathon and set off at a comfortable pace. After about an hour I was beginning to feel the effects of the heat, I just couldn't cool down and for the next hour I had alot of drink breaks which affected my overall result, however I still completed 46 (500m) laps and was very happy with what I achieved - 23km however my garmin said I completed 24.7km. With the amount of dodging you do and taking the corners a bit wider I think the laps are a little longer than 500m so I think maybe 24K is a bit more accurate. Geoff went off next who is a good runner, he suffers from cramps alot which has caused him drama's over the years. Like many of us he was a little under done in the training but still managed 50 laps which was a great effort. Overall our team came 7th with a total of 139 laps. I think I wouldn't mind attempting the 6hr solo event next year.
I must say a huge congratulations to all runners out there that night, it was tough, humid and horrible running weather but it was a fun night, great atmosphere every cheering each other on. Tesso, Clairie, Hannah, VG and her team amongst others done oustanding efforts and was a shame that I had to leave pretty much after my event finished.
I pulled up great on Sunday in terms of soreness just a little tired and battled on through my work day but I will be back to do it all gain next year.
Monday morning was my next run a short slow recovery run of about 4k with 8k of riding, the calf was a little tight but everything else held up great.
I had another rest day yesterday, tonight however I took a break from packing and got to Phils wednesday run group. I enjoy this session it is a medium distance run around 12-18k usually but the pace gets pretty high towards the end. Tonight we ran around 12.4k in spot on an hour, the pace really heated up for the last k and at a guess we were probably sitting on 3:20 - 3:30 pace which broke the group right up. I felt great the whole way, I just hope that my next major run on sunday feels the same. I have started all three West end runs this year and have only completed one of them which was on new years day. Sunday it is either 5mile or 10 mile, I will try and complete the 10 mile.
I will be offline for a few days, the phone cannot be connected up in the new house until monday so tonight is it before the computer gets packed. I will try and do some reading tonight however I will definetely be back next week. Happy training I might see some of you at west end on sunday :)

My Week and Life in Review!
Month - 19.4
YTD - 97.4
Wednesday 1 Feb
I bought a new pair of shoes, I had a basic pair of Asics 1100 which were good for about 2 months but they just became very spongy. So I went and bought a pair of Asics Evolution, they are good for moderate over pronators so hopefully they will be much better. Since my sad effort on Sunday I have done some cycling and weights. I wanted to give the shoes a run and also get some sort of training in for the biggest run of my life. I aimed to go to the track and run 10k on grass but when I got down there a million little people where doing athletics. I decided to go to Phils run group, which is a couple of groups of varying levels that run for 1 - 1.5 hours around the suburbs. I ran with the second group who said they were going for 65-70 mins. At around 15K I decide to ease up and walk as a cool down with another runner who was suffering cramps. I was pretty puffed by this stage and was glad to walk, I was also very happy with the shoes. We ended up covering the 15K in a little less than 75mins.
Thursday 2 Feb
At work today we had our fitness test, I however am exempt from doing this until I finish my recovery program. I decided to slowly jog around the run track and help any of the stragglers that find it difficult to pass. I helped a couple out by pacing them but some still failed unfortunately.The test is 2.4 K in a set time depending on sex and age and isn't very difficult, some people just don't put in enough effort during there own time to remain fit enough to pass.
Tonight was track I aimed to go slow to keep some sort of energy for Saturday. The session was 8 x 500m, however I just done 1/2 the session and watched the remainder and talked to Phil. It was quite relaxing watching people run around :) The numbers were quite good aswell, some younger people turned up who showed some good speed towards the end.
Session
4 x 500m 1.52, 1.50, 1.50, 1.40
I have been quite slack, Go Girl 'tagged me' over a week ago and I still haven't answered the questions so here goes.
What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was actually still at school, just began my last year (Yr 12), not knowing what I was going to do after I finished. I completed all my education in Sydney, around the Penrith area which was my home for the first 18 years of my life.
Five snacks I enjoy?
I love my peanut butter sandwiches, it has to be on fresh bread and the peanut butter really thick
Tim Tams, or the liquid version from Gloria Jeans - Tim Tam Milkshake
Hot chips
Banana Muffins
I better add some healthy stuff so Bananas and recently plums are good.
Five Songs I know
Im pretty adamant that I know every song on the radio when in the car, however my wife begs to differ and says that I just make my own lyrics up. So to answer this, I really don't know any songs to their entirety. Just to reinforce my wifes theory I actually thought Bernard Fanning's new song was sunburnt not songbird.
Five things I'd do as a millionaire
Retire at 26
Go watch every major sporting event around the globe
Invest in property, shares anything that would make more money
Go on a holiday, but on a boat because I hate flying
Relax and share my wealth with family and friends
Five things I like doing
Running, Cycling, reading magazines not books so much, going to the movies, spending time with family and friends and the hairy kids (dogs)

I helped a couple out by pacing them but some still failed unfortunately.The test is 2.4 K in a set time depending on sex and age and isn't very difficult, some people just don't put in enough effort during there own time to remain fit enough to pass.
Tonight was track I aimed to go slow to keep some sort of energy for Saturday. The session was 8 x 500m, however I just done 1/2 the session and watched the remainder and talked to Phil. It was quite relaxing watching people run around :) The numbers were quite good aswell, some younger people turned up who showed some good speed towards the end.
Session
4 x 500m 1.52, 1.50, 1.50, 1.40
I have been quite slack, Go Girl 'tagged me' over a week ago and I still haven't answered the questions so here goes.
What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was actually still at school, just began my last year (Yr 12), not knowing what I was going to do after I finished. I completed all my education in Sydney, around the Penrith area which was my home for the first 18 years of my life.
Five snacks I enjoy?
I love my peanut butter sandwiches, it has to be on fresh bread and the peanut butter really thick
Tim Tams, or the liquid version from Gloria Jeans - Tim Tam Milkshake
Hot chips
Banana Muffins
I better add some healthy stuff so Bananas and recently plums are good.
Five Songs I know
Im pretty adamant that I know every song on the radio when in the car, however my wife begs to differ and says that I just make my own lyrics up. So to answer this, I really don't know any songs to their entirety. Just to reinforce my wifes theory I actually thought Bernard Fanning's new song was sunburnt not songbird.
