FEBRUARY 5 2008 - ANOTHER START!

Well I'm not going to get any blogging completed if I keep procrastinating about filling in the 12 months of missed time on here, so in a brief nutshell:

- Changed jobs
- Got married

They were both much more important to me than that, however this is neither the time or the place to get into these events.

Anyhow, onto my running......

Over the past 12 months, since the cursed hamstring injury, I have really kept on with the running (....with the slight exception of the 5-6 week Christmas period).

Highlights over this time were:

- Became a run leader for Start to Finish/Nike
- Ran as a pacer for the Melbourne Half Marathon
- Was running close to 50km per week
- My wife completed her first ever half marathon

So that just about brings you up to Feb '08. I am slowly building the miles back into my legs, up and around 25-30km per wek at the moment. I won't progress too slowly though as I'm coming from a reasonably solid base. Hopefully will have that around 40-50km per week by early March.

I'm a run leader for the Run For The Kids training runs, which entails leading a group 2-3 times a week over 5 or 10km. It's really good fun, and I love watching others really gain something from their efforts. Plus I get some really cool Nike gear for free!

Goals for this year:

- At least one half marathon I run for me.
- Enter more 'unique' fun runs.
- Lift my long runs into the 30km ball park.

I'm hoping to update this blog on a weekly basis from here, so if you stumbled across this please check back and pass on any comments!
