Month - 73 k
YTD - 403.5 k
All has been going well in the last fortnight and although I have trained only 8 times this month I have clocked over 70 k which is pretty good for me.
I have been doing heaps of hill work which is for my one and only aim at Warwick this year. I have not been concentrating on the 1/2 and I am not caring what my overall result will be, the only thing I want to get out of this race is breaking the voodoo I have on the 10k Killarney Ascent. This race has beaten me every GOD DAMN year and I have never cracked 50 mins. For a person who has run under 40 mins for 10k numerous times I feel I have a slack time in regards to this event. Yeah it might climb a little, but the remaining 5 or so k is undulating :-) I'm sure I can make up time on the 'easy' parts of the course.
I have also incuded some run / walk sessions in my training, purely to expose myself to the same feeling I will have in July competing in the Kokoda Challenge down at the GC Hinterland. This event should be very interesting to say the least and I have some full on walking sessions ahead on me in the coming months.
On a different note I have been given 3 ptions of where I will be heading for work come the end of the year. I have been living in Brisbane for 5 years this Xmas and the Defence Force would like to relocate me. The options I have are Townsville, Darwin or Wagga Wagga. I have told them I would like to go back to Townsville, we lived there for 5 Years before Brisbane and enjoyed it, I just hope that they make the decision that I want them too. I will find out in the next few months were my feat for the next 2-3 years lies. Fingers crossed it is Townsville, there is still a great running scene up there and it is still close enough to venture down to the Southern events quite easily.
Thats all for now, until next time
Peace Out!

Fingers crossed that the army decides to listen to you!
I love the Killarney ascent - of course 'love' is a relative term ;-) Unfortunately I won't be coming up for Warwick this year. I can't wait to get back there; it is a fantastic weekend!
Hmmm that part of work would be tough.....
As for the killarney ascent just maintain the same intensity by shortening your stride and maintaining the same cadence.
I imagine you have heard all this before but if not it could be the most valuable info you can get on the topic??
Cheers R2B
