Motivation.

After starting this little corner of the Internet I've been approached by various family, friends, and acquaintances that have told me that I'm an "Inspiration". I let that sink in for a while when sitting down at the beach; me - an inspiration? What a crazy thought that is. The fact I started this blog as a way to chronicle my progress as I go out and explore the world, a way to set up and knock down goals has been a motivation for people to improve their everyday life is astounding. When I first started this whole thing up I was in a pretty...

Blew Out My Knee, Switching to Lifting

After my last effort to run 20 kms I unfortunately injured my right knee. What happened was the following day I decided to go for a quick 5km run around my local area and unfortunately it decided to give way and before I knew what was going on I was laying out on the concrete. Like with all disappointing events, a positive angle can always be found and I realised that though I will have to lay off medium distance running for a while, it doesn't...

16th September 2013 - My first 20kms

During work today I decided that tonight I would run my first 20kms. Tonight I came through with the goods and made it happen and I'm glad that I did. Looking back it took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the 7km Nightcliff circuit, now it's getting done in under 50 mins. I'm hoping this opens up the doors for an opportunity to run 30+km marathons. I'm going to put in another one of these runs on Thursday while consistently running 10kms on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday and another 20km run next Tuesday in the hope I'll be able to run 30kms...

14th September 2013 - Candy Jam

Well, today was fun. After all this running Candy Jam finally came and with it some surprising results and a funny story. What happened is that when the fun run started Robert, myself and 3 others were leading the pack. What we failed to realise (until the very end) was that we were leading all 7000 people around the course in the reverse direction. It wasn't till I got back (and I counted no more than 15 other people were there before me)...

One day I'll run 30kms for funsies. Here's a song by one of my favourite artists Promoe. Oh I also ran a bit today, I'm loving that I can cover all that ground and still feel fine. It's time to start getting quicker at it :D ...

9th September 2013 - Making up for lost distance

Over the weekend I wasn't feel great at all, it was pretty bad to be honest so today I tried to make up for some sort of lost ground by pushing through 14kms. Hopefully it'll get me back on my feet and on track for Candy Jam this weekend. ...
