4K logged at 0530 this morning on the dreadmill & another excellent impression of a drowned rat at the end. Have a good day/night all 😀 February goal 25km 9/25 so far 8 sleeps till holidays 😜

I’m shooting for 25km before heading overseas on February 12 for 5 weeks. Decided against running while away as I have zero experience in running in snowy conditions & not silly enough to risk it. Instead plenty of walking around & body weight exercises. Running will be there when I return and it will technically be autumn…

@Avidkeo please take all the heat we don’t want it 🥵. Back up to 37c on Saturday ☹️. I’ll skip the park run & go out super early to the bike path. Stay cool!

I’ve been slack in posting my runs but did the park run last Saturday & struggled. Many walk breaks & I stupidly didn’t take water ‘because it’s only 5k’. I sweat a ridiculous amount and felt a bit pukey halfway through hence walking a bit. Annoyingly my run/walk time was better than the complete run (bar one incline) time…

Wow @Orphia that’s amazing!! Congratulations on some awesome running 👍😀

Think I’m 39/50. Missed the park run so added that onto this weeks mileage. It’s still a heatwave so some runs turned into walks but meh it’s still mileage. Last night it was 31C/87.8F overnight and set a new record today in Adelaide of 46.6C/115.8F Hottest city in Australia today 👍🥵 Not ideal running temperature for this…

Still hot but cool change coming through for a couple of days. Split this mornings 4K into a run/walk and surprised myself with a solid 15 min run in a warm fog which is what it felt like. 🥵🥵 Gave myself bonus points for that because I struggle with the heat but kept going & finished looking like a drowned rat 🐀 (as per…

Lol @nikkiwolf it sure sucks. The house is already warm in the morning and I already get super hot when I run so it’s just not happening this week I think. At least until the cool change of 35 arrives on Friday! 😜. Hope your knee improves 😀

Today it had been 41 degrees C (105 ish F) and getting hotter and my energy is gone so this mornings planned dreadmill 4K ended up being a walk. I can live with that. Seriously our state is being boiled. Some towns had 49C/120F it’s crazy 🥵 31/50 km done. Beer o’clock ✅ Send snow stat!!

Another 5km park run today and it sucked. Hot windy and dusty and I reminded myself to just do the distance. So I did a run/walk/run and felt better for it. Still beaten by older runners but at least I passed the guy with a walking stick 👍 January challenge 50km 26/50 in the turtle bank 🏃🏼♀️🐢

Another slow sweaty 4km in the bank this morning. Didn’t feel the joy but slogged through it. Still lapping those on the couch though I guess 😀. Jan goal 50km 21/50 (almost halfway!!) Great to have this challenge and am in awe of what some of you youngsters do 👏👏

Run no 4 done this morning on the dreadmill. Walked a bit due to niggles in a hammy and top of one foot but another 4K in the bank. This challenge has got me on the treadmill at 0530 and it’s been a few months since that’s happened. Trying to lose a few kg’s before eating my way through Finland! 17/50km completed ✅

Guess that means the Aussie run gang is winning if it’s 3vs 2 kiwis 😜

@Orphia you sure do 😀. One older female introverted slow turtle runner from the Barossa Valley at your service!

@dewit it’s definitely not movie magic lol. I live in a rural area and roos are everywhere. I start singing (badly) so they know I’m coming and aren’t a threat to their little joeys and the big ones know I’m not looking for a fight! @Avidkeo is correct. I’m typing from the future wooooooooooo!! 😀 I hope I’ve tagged you…

Morning/afternoon/evening all. I went to my local park run this morning for the first time in 2 years. My goal was to slowly run the whole 5k which I did apart from one steepish incline. As an experiment for the next one I’ll run/walk it and compare times. An older gentleman did that and finished ahead of me so I’m curious…

Second run this morning of 4km & 4 kangaroos hopping past. Faster than me of course lol. Jan goal 8/50. Doing a Park run on Saturday for first time in a long while. It’s great to see everyone setting their challenges and chipping away 😀
-
Happy new year everyone. First run logged - easy & slow 4km. 4/50 km for the month. Yippee 👍🏃🏼♀️😀

Runner from down under here! Rebooting running after some injuries. My focus is running 3x week & strength training 2-3 x week & 1 yoga sesh. It’s summer here so the aim is low and the speed is slow lol. Easing back into the rhythm and plan on being in great shape for turning 57 next year. Will run another 10k to beat…
