Bought a treadmill the other day.... It's an EVO 205t. I'm picking it up today from the auction house. It cost me $300 and I reckon I got the bargain of the day.

Speaking of treadmills I smashed my 5k time today on the tready at work. 22:58 (previous best was 23:44)I did 5min/klm and 4.3min/klm splits every kilometre for 4 kilometres and then 500m splits for the last k!!!! Very happy with that!!!!! I hope to crack 22:30 by the end of Feb and run 4.5min/klm the whole way.

I Need More Sleep!!!!!!!

This will be short and sweet as my eyes are battling with my brain and I think they are winning..... The sad part is it's only 8:45 AM and its gonna be a long day at the office!!

Had a great run on Monday and recorded my 2nd fastest time and quickest since returning from holidays. Only 6.5k's but I really enjoyed the run. Gym today and a run possibly around Albert Park Lake tomorrow zzzzzzzzzzzz

RUNNING WITH STEVE

I wasn't going to run yesterday but when I saw Steve in his gear about to go out I got the itch!!! Actually I was planning on a stationary bike session in the gym and knew I'd get more out of a run with Steve. We just took it easy (I was still stuffed!) and did it in 36:20. We ran it in reverse and I can honestly say that it was no easier than the normal way..... The conditions were pretty humid and as I'd forgotten my hat I was constantly wiping sweat and sunscreen out of my eyes which is a real pain in the arse!!!! I showed Steve how to insert MapMyRun into the blog and below is the route that we took. It's pretty nifty as you can zoom in and move the map around.



I'm having a couple of weeks of no carbs and no grog and then low carbs low grog for a while..... I've begun eating more fruit and drinking a lot more water (and less coffee) and I must admit I'm feeling the difference already!

I'm aiming for the Zoo run in Feb Morsey!!

I WAS GONNA............

Yep I sure was!! 3 weeks holidays and I was gonna keep up my running and I was gonna limit the drinking and well, you get the picture. 1 run (5.6k) in all that time and 2 gym sessions, both interrupted by Mick my over the road neighbour with beer in hand!!! I really didnt stand a chance though. Mind you I kept the food intake in check so weight wise I didnt really budge.

I had a run with Steve yesterday (6.5K) around the Tan and BOY did I feel it. My heart rate stayed at about 177 and peaked at 186 up the hill..... Still I'm off and running again so to speak!! I'm going to check out the local gyms down my way to see what Boxing/Boxercise/Cardio Kickboxing/Mortal Combat classes they offer. One or two a week with the running and gym work I think.
