16/12 Healthwise Training Week 3

Loving it- as hard as it is.
This body weight training. Got enough bodyweight to make it worthwhile. Hoping the heat lays off on training days.
Lots of push ups, flutter kicks, squats. Killer. 
And a quick 1 km from home to training. In 8:13.

13/12 Another 4 kms

Run #4 back from New York. Not fast but down the beach path to Joes at Henley. 

09/12 Healthwise Training- the torture continues.

Bach from Melbourne and seeing Bon Jovi and Deb and I are at session 2. Me woozy from a bumpy descent and landing. Still had a go. At least it wasn't and today. No it was legs. Good god. 
Back again next week.

02/12 And I might just go one more time- NYC Marathon Lottery

I apparently think this might be a good idea again.
Entry into the lottery. Just because I can't justify the purchase of another packaged bib again for next year. 


02/12 Healthwise West Beach Training

After spending today ensconced on my couch, I went to the first of the new sessions offered by Healthwise down at West Beach.
Was great to be exercising outside. Boxing, sprints, lunges. Great stuff.
Ran down there as well. it is about 1 km… so I can use it as a sprint session to improve my time :)

29/11 3rd Run Back from NYC- Even Faster :)

So for the week, 3 runs in 5 days.
Since I started back, 3 runs in 4 days.
Each time getting better.
Today, same course, but 2 mins 10 seconds faster.
Garmin Data below (going to start adding this)
Happy with that.
See what the weekend brings.



27/11 And Round 2 = Much Better

Out Again today- was 37C here in Adelaide but I waited until just before 7 pm before heading out.
Much better time. Felt quite good before the end.
Black Shoes
Also managed a 2 minute plank and 2 x 10 Man Push Ups.

The Story of the Journey to New York

Please head to

To read my blog of my second journey to being Marathon Fit.
I didn't document my journey to Paris, so decided I had to record the journey to New York.
Enjoy and thank you for reading.

25/11 - 3 weeks and 1 day on- Beginning Strength Training Again

It's 3 weeks and 1 day since that magical day in New York.
I'm almost convinced I have to do it again.... and possibly again.
I haven't run a mile, but I have climbed 2 mountains in Uganda on 2 consecutive days.
Today I pulled my finger out, only a small amount :)
2 x 10 Man Pushups
2 minute (120 second) plank
A 2 minute plank for someone who's done no strength for at least 5 weeks is not too bad.
Back to the beginning for the push ups in reality but 2 x sets of 10 is better than when I started.
