2nd 5k time trial

On the home straight now! Tonight's second 5k time trial was a blast - I am feeling the fittest I've ever been. And the numbers show it too! 24.03 - a pace of 4.48/k and more than a minute off my last time trial. looking forward to the last two weeks before the big race

City 2 Surf "Warm-up"

This weekend my regular group run was replaced by the incredible city to surf event in Sydney. 14kms from CBD to Bondi Beach.

Heartbreak Hill was everything it was cracked up to be (grueling, never ending... And yes I did witness a runner next to me vomit half way up!)

Wrapped with my time of 1hr14, knocked a good 30 seconds off on my per km pace, and did 4 of the 14 kms at sub- 5 minutes. See, I'm even talking like a runner now!

clocking up some k's

Awesome morning for a run today, centennial park to Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, botanic gardens. Was enjoying things so much I did a little bit extra than the required 14km! That had nothing at all to do with starting late nor my poor sense of direction...

5km time trial

So Week 4...we did a 5k time trial tonight. Never sure how hard to go and whether I can maintain the pace. Pretty happy with my time of 25.05. Sooooo close to cracking the sub 5mins per km pace!!! But at least that target doesn't seem too far away now!

I'm training with Can Too for Blackmores Sydney Running Festival Half Marathon!

I am training for an event with Can Too, a health promotion organisation that engages and inspires individuals and the community to achieve personal health, wellbeing and altruistic goals. 
 
Beginners and experienced athletes alike are given professional coaching as part of a team to run or swim in endurance events- including 10km, half-marathon and marathon runs; as well as ocean swims and triathlons.
 
In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care and control of cancer. In 2015, Can Too community is funding 14 early career researchers through Cure Cancer Australia.

Thank you for supporting me!
