Augusta Holiday
January 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Spent the Australia Day long weekend in Augusta in the South West of WA. It’s my Uncle Keith and Aunty Trish’s house and is a beautiful little shack on the river mouth of the Blackwood. Truly amazing views.
We went with the Richards - Brad, Chris, Mitch and Emma. What a hoot!
Wood barbecues out the back, kids sleeping […]

Week 4 - 2008

Shocker. When I got home from work on Monday I took my shoe off and my ankle had swollen considerably. It stayed that way all night then went down. It swelled up a few times again but never as bad. Decided it needed some rest.
Then second, my snip issues arose. I had an operation last […]

Week 3 - 2008
January 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment
A good running week with 15kms run including the Christchurch Run 5km event (see Race Report), and 15 kms biking at Rotto, plus a weight session in there.
Rotto is good for the soul and very relaxing. Back to work this week as well which is hard, mainly because I only have a few days until […]

Christchurch Run 5km
January 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Well, that run felt bloody hard. I felt breathless most of the way and really thought it would be a struggle to get close to my Burswood Twilight PB, especially because of the strong easterly headwind in the last 1.5 kilometres.
But in the end…
Personal Best 23 minutes and 45 seconds. 4:45 min per kilometre pace.
20th place […]

Rottnest Holiday

It’s not the typical holiday, but Rotto is fantastic for just getting away and relaxing. We had 7 days in Longreach which is a bay on the northern face of Rottnest. It is sheltered from the sea breeze and has beautiful lagoons for swimming and sandy beaches for cricket.
So for 7 days we made sand […]

Spent this week in Rottnest Island. Fantastic, relaxing holiday with the family. Got some runs in and did alot of bike riding on my dodgy old MTB.
This week leads into Race 2 for 2008, the Christchurch Run which is a choice of 5km or 12km run. Last year I ran the 12km in 1:00:03. Not sure […]

Burswood Twilight 5km
January 5, 2008 | 1 Comment
My first race of 2008 and my first opportunity to knock off one of my goals - a sub 25 minute 5km race.
The run is an out and back along the Swan River. It was about 25 degrees and sunny, so was pretty warm. The family came to watch me so I was pretty nervous. […]

Back to work this week, so had my 8km run on New Years Day after a quiet New Year, and ran a short run with Dexter on Saturday. And today I ran my first race of the year - the Burswood Twilight 5km.
Louise, Amy, Tyler and Amy’s friend Miki came which was great. The run […]

What I’ve Done

“What I’ve Done” - Linkin Park
In this farewell,
There’s no blood,
There’s no alibi.
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousand lies.
So let mercy come,
And wash away…
What I’ve Done.
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.
Put to rest,
What you thought of me.
While I clean this slate,
With the hands,
Of uncertainty.
So let […]
