My running streak day 52

Posted by speedygeoff on Wednesday, October 31, 2018 with
Today I jogged to the gym, did an hour of strength and flexibilty exercises, then ran around Lake Ginninderra, including the peninsular for once. The temperature when I finished was 27 degrees, a tad warm but I didn't suffer. Total for the day 8.4k.

My running streak day 51

Posted by speedygeoff on Tuesday, October 30, 2018 with
Today I ran the YCRC 5k event at East Basin, doing a fairly good 24:22, although it didn't feel terribly comfortable. But on the other hand, it's the best I have felt on a Tuesday for some weeks. Total today, 11k.

My running streak day 50

Posted by speedygeoff on Monday, October 29, 2018 with
Off to Parliament House tonight after a $$$$ visit to the dentist during the day. Delighted to meet some new people tonight, as we warmed up then set 3 teams of 3 off on a half hour 3 person continuous relay from court 8 - the longer version which includes the steepest hill. Attending were Gwen (new), Rich (new), Vanessa H (new), Michael, Dave, Ewen, me, Deborah, Ruth, Bernardo fresh from a run up Mt Kosciuszko, Giles, Candy, Kai and Craig.

I totalled just 6.4k. Could have done more. Tomorrow then.


Nadine and some of her family.

That's 7 weeks straight. And yes I had a better run today. 8k at Stromlo Forest Park with Andrew and Ewen before I got changed and visited various grandchildren and other relatives.

At the Burns Club. With the Hall crowd and the visiting crowd from Jamberoo. Some are in disguise.

Posted by speedygeoff on Thursday, October 25, 2018 with
I went out to Stromlo to run some 500m hills with the speedygeese but had to mostly watch as my intermittently sore TFL flared up again. An easier couple of days and it should be alright again, going on past experience.

Training tonight doing 6 x 500m hill circuit on 5 minutes, resting in between, were Isaac, Andrew, Abel (new), Jacob, Colin, Bron, Janene, Joel, me a bit, and Jen doing her own shorter intervals.

My running streak day 45

Posted by speedygeoff on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 with
Today I jogged to gym, did my 60 minute strength class, and then ran a solid 6k where the last 4k was with Candy+stroller, making 8k for the day. As with yesterday's run, I haven't felt as fit mid-week for a long time.

It was quite a coincidence that I met up with Candy who was doing a 13k run with Kai her baby, given that just this morning I had posted yesterday's run and added a photo of her.

So here are more pictures of runners, with their strollers. (Different pics from those I already put on this blog)

An 8.5k run in the late afternoon, better than previous Tuesday runs. Next week, hopefully, YCRC Spring Series event #1.

Candy, back running well! Baby is 11 weeks.

My running streak day 43

Posted by speedygeoff on Monday, October 22, 2018 with
Still having no ill effects from a rare 10k race = a rare hilly race, I had a normal Monday.
In the morning it was a 3k run and an hour doing my usual "Group Active" exercise class.

In the warm evening I jogged around at a speedygeese training session, 5.5k in total, while the others ran a hilly continuous 400m relay, "hair of the dog" for those who had run with the wind the previous day. Training were Deborah, Michael (new), a new Paul, Matt, Ricky, Bernardo, Jennie, Ruth, Narelle, Kerron, Lisa, Sandeep, Craig, Ewen, Vanessa, Rae, Candy, Kai and me!

Here are speedygeese Peter and Liz - cyclists mainly.



Back at Monday training - Ray and Kai, tonight.

My running streak day 42

Posted by speedygeoff on Sunday, October 21, 2018 with
I took a risk with my injuries etc and did RunWithTheWind for the first time, the 10k. Starting off "slowly" I ran through without any real problems, and finished in 57:25, a strong winner in the M70+ division. Many other speedgeese also won or placed in their respective age-groups. This is a run I will certainly be doing again in years to come, health and age permitting. The hills were long and steepish, but I managed them better than I had thought I would.

I had a run at Gungahlin parkrun this morning on their 5th anniversary; not very fast, about 28:18 including a slow first kilometer warm-up.
Now the storm is arriving as I enter this, the rain is starting, and it could be interesting at Run With the Wind tomorrow.

Today on a warm spring day in Canberra I ran 3k while visiting the gym for a 60 minute circuit class. I am looking forward to a nap, another busy weekend is coming up!

Here's Thommo celebrating a run somewhere... I will have to do some more results catch-up and include the Melbourne Marathon somehow...

I ran at Stromlo Forest Park supervising the speedygeese and intending to warm up for a later visit to Woden Park for a run with Masters, which didn't happen when I ran out of time. Just 5k for the day then.
At Stromlo we had a good turn-out, Michael (new), Lisa, Colin, Isaac, Jen, Jenny, Andrew, Jarod, Bron, Joel, also Candy pushing Kai in a pram, Jacob arriving as we were leaving, and me, making 14 altogether. Did I miss one?



It must start raining here soon, it is raining all around us.

Because I ran this, I can add some commentary. Sarah-Jayne ran with Ryan (as I did), presumably she doesn't cross the line at the end. Suzie missed the start by over 5 minutes. And Margaret was accompanied by her grandchildren.

My running streak day 38

Posted by speedygeoff on Wednesday, October 17, 2018 with
Today I jogged just 2k - only because it was a busy day, and I didn't get to the gym to do my usual run from there.

Today was also the funeral of Margaret's husband Peter.

Margaret is one of many who joined me at Ginninderra a couple of weeks ago, when I ran my 100th parkrun.



I am planning to join Margaret and her sister Gwen at Gungahlin parkrun this Saturday.

My running streak day 36

Posted by speedygeoff on Monday, October 15, 2018 with
Monday morning I ran 3k and attended the gym, a 60 minute "Group Active" class.
Monday afternoon was speedygeese training: participating were Matt (new), Kerron (new), Narelle, Warrick, Bernardo, Colin, Tori, Anthony, Craig, Jacob, Ruth, Ewen, Ricky. I jogged 7k and Candy with Kai also attended.

Here's Andrew running the Ginninderra parkrun with us a couple of weeks ago.

Volk. It's the song of the week.

At Bega, up before breakfast for a run from the motel, down to the parkrun course to run it again, and back up. Just managed to beat the showers that followed. The distance this morning was 8k.

At the parkrun, 1.5k to go.

At Bega, a 2k warmup, and a 5k parkrun in light drizzle. The time of 23:53 was my fourth sub 24 in recent times, and also enough to take nearly 2 minutes off the existing M70 Bega record.

Bega parkrun, 1k in.

My running streak day 32

Posted by speedygeoff on Thursday, October 11, 2018 with
Today was the first session back at Stromlo Forest park. The group ran 4 x 1km on 8 minutes, the first three around the 1k loop, the fourth being the first half of the 2k loop (i.e. mostly downhill). I ran with Kai, Candy, Jarod, Anthony, Brownie, Jacob, Ewen, Jennie, Isaac, Jen, Andrew and Anthony.

I managed 5.5k and I still don't feel like pushing the pace.

Hi Bron!

It was just a slow 7k today for me. In a couple of weeks I should be able to increase this, when the Spring Series starts on Tuesdays.
