Aussie is still running!

17 Replies

Morning all... just checking in with all you lovely folks... I miss you!

Still running, still lovin' it... had 20 minutes to spare this morning at 5:30am so out the door and a quick burst before a shower and off to work I go... It was dark, cold, wet and awesome!

It's just a part of my life now... I have signed up for 6 events over the next 6 months and can't wait! Couple of 10Ks, an 8 miler and two half marathons!

Sorry I'm not on here much anymore but I try to keep those of you on Facebook up to date... internet access during the week is a bit limited of late... :)

The ankle is not 100% but it's not giving me problems now. Compression socks rule! You'll also notice that I'm ever so slowly getting faster... I love this training and fitness thing...

Happy running y'all. Whether you're on week 1 or about to complete a marathon - you ROCK!

10 miles planned for Sunday... love my long run!

Well done Aussie it's nice to see you are still enjoying your running, for me it seems to of taken over my life :) your race plans look great I haven't quite decided what's next for me I did a 6 hour challenge a couple of weeks ago and managed 21.6 miles :o surprised myself.........maybe a marathon isn't out of the question for next year. I am really looking forward to building up the miles over the winter. Happy running to you

Great to hear that the ankle is still improving. I hope it'll be back to 100% soon, but in the interim, do take it easy :)

Enjoy the running, and in particular the 10 miles on Sunday!

Cooee Aussie, still firing on all cylinders by the sound of things. Good that the dreaded ankle is holding up

Have fun out there. I was out at 5.00 am too, walking the dog. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Mummysaurus Yes a full marathon does sound eminently do-able if you've already done 21 miles. Sheesh. Go for it!!!
