Run With Dogs : Back From The…

Back From The…

Posted by: Audrey Post date: September 25th, 2009

Well, I wasn’t dead, but maybe in some sort of cyberspace where nobody ran and nobody blogged. Done neither of these for a very long time. I think the reality is I’ve been doing so much writing web content, the idea of writing a post to go on my own blog was just too much. But, it’s either keep it up, or pack it in, and there’s too much history here to just delete.

Sooo, what’s been happ’nin’? We did the North Lakes fun run in August with the kidlets, and it was a dog friendly race so of course all four of them came along. The kidlets did well, both of them coming in under 45 minutes for 6k. Heck, I can barely do that myself right now. Guinness’s guts did as they usually do, but I was complimented by another runner because I stopped and picked up everything he did. I’m now starting to think he has some sort of inflammatory bowel disease and I’ll need to approach it from that angle. I may see if I can find a gastroenterologist to chat to.

We also did the Glasshouse 12k, walked with the kidlets and Petrea and Luke, it was a really good day out. 2 hours 20 minutes, and we enjoyed every bit of it. The next weekend saw us at Mooloolaba where I did the half marathon on under 10k a week training, took 2 hours 20 minutes. I was hoping for 2 hours 15 and I probably would have got there if I hadn’t stopped to chat to a friend about 500m from the finish line. The aim was to see if my metatarsal heads still hurt and yeah, they did. Kidlets did the 10k in a 1k run/500m walk program in 1 hour 20. Both won their category but I don’t think there were any other under 12′s in the 10k. ;-)

Roseanne came down from Gladstone for her church camp and we went to the 5k cross country. We hadn’t seen each other in months and it was so nice to catch up, we didn’t run, just talked all the time.

Other than that, not much. I’m carrying about 10kg more than this time last year. I’ll know for sure at work tomorrow when I jump on the dog scales. I really feel it too. I need to find a running program to stick to, if I can get something to tell me what to do and when to do it, so I don’t have to think too hard right now, I’ve got more of a chance of sticking with it.

Off to check out your blogs – it’s been a while.

Well, you’ve certainly been managing to enter and run a few events, which is more than I can say at the moment! Congrats on being a “picker-upper” – I hate dog owners who aren’t!
