It was the anniversary of meeting my mate Duncan, a.k.a DD, so we thought it best to do a last minute sign up for NewRun.   Last minute being we were both pretty trashed from racing the previous week.  As is typical with DD we planned for this to be a shirtless run but I had no idea he was planning for this to be a shirtless and budgy

What better way to spend a Sunday lunch than running around in your undies.  I for one couldn't think of a better way so I signed up for Cupid's Undie Run 2018.  Although much effort was expended I couldn't convince any of my friends or colleagues to join me.  Not even the lure of supporting such a great cause as trying

So somehow I got roped in to wearing ladies, green hot pants for this race.  I don't know how these things happen but as I love a good dress up, it was game on!

As normal, everyone met at my place for carpooling to the start line.  Before we left I donned on my awesome hot pants

This was my second barefoot marathon in 4 weeks.  What could possibly go wrong, I thought?  In any case, I'm here and I'm going to have a crack.  I've spent too much time in bare feet not to take advantage of it.

The morning of the race I was up early because I had

Twelve months ago I set a goal of running a barefoot half marathon by the end of 2017.  Unfortunately I achieved this in April of 2017 so that goal needed resetting to a full marathon.  Well, five months later it's now September and I think I'm near enough ready for a marathon in bare feet!  What could possibly go wrong...

I set myself a goal this year of running a barefoot half marathon by the end of the year.  Since my training had gone so well I thought I should bring this goal forward by about 8 months and give it a go.  I had the barefoot distance under my belt but as it was my first event I was a little anxious.

This event was a first for me!  I was registering for the Central Cost half marathon and noticed some advertising about a sand dune run over Stockton beach.  I thought to myself it would be bloody tough but it was only 10ks and only $30.00 to enter, so without another thought, I entered.  Shortly after I thought, I'd better go

For the Fernleigh 15 this year we planned to get as many members of the Telligence Run Club involved as possible.  Thankfully, we had enough team members sign up to enter a team in the relay leg and Kat, our awesome web designer, decided to step up and tackle the full 15k!

With a disappointing run in Sydney marathon four weeks ago I was more than determined to break my PB of 3:45:11, which I set two years ago in Sydney.  I have never run two marathons within a month before so I was a little concerned about how my body would go but by all accounts the ITB trouble I had in Sydney was all but gone so I was hopeful.

This year for Blackmores I was feeling the most prepared I had ever felt for a marathon.  My training program had all gone well, I was fighting fit and injury free.  A personal best was in the air, I just had to keep it together for 42.195ks!

 

Arriving in Sydney on Saturday I did my usual ritual of head down Darling
