    Mileage Reporting Week 15 (Apr 11 - Apr 17)

    My mileage is way down at the moment thanks to my night owl children, but I managed a 7km barefoot run around the streets this morning. More of a slow plod really, but it's nice to be out on an Autumn morning when the seasons haven't quite started to turn ugly yet. On Tuesday I did 6km on the...

    And we thought Vibram FiveFingers were odd!

    Looks like three pairs of shoes worn over the top of one another. :D

    13km with my local running group this morning, lots of gnarly gravel and a few sniggers at the only barefoot idiot in the bunch tiptoeing across the worst stony bits. On the way to the start I was pecked on the head by a swooping magpie (local Australian bird with murderous tendencies during...

    Meanwhile, at the other end of the world we are coming out of winter. I did 7 km around the streets on Tuesday morning and almost raised a sweat. 10km kayak paddle on Wednesday on a beautiful still morning and an hour long surf this morning, but I barely caught a wave because I'm sorely out of...

    Mileage Reporting Week 32 (Aug 9- Aug 15)

    First run of the week this morning as I decided to go kayaking instead earlier in the week - 6km on the beach. Somewhat brisk because I had to get back for the school run, but I'm a bit flat pace-wise at the moment. Some nice sunshine, the weather is just starting to turn slightly in the back...

    Hot roads and split calluses

    I tend to avoid running in the heat of the day on hot paths, it just isn't fun, particularly if you're dealing with asphalt rather than concrete. As for split heels, I get a few of these and the best advice seems to be to find some sort of heel balm or foot cream containing urea as an active...

    Wednesday morning 6k on the beach. COVID lockdown rules were relaxed a bit in my neck of the woods so there were a few more out and about.

    Followed. I don't post much on instagram, so I'm not sure if I'll ever show up there, but it sounds like a cool idea.

    Mileage Reporting Week 30 ( July 26 - August 1 )

    Trying to get back into the swing of things after a few weeks with not much running to speak of. Night-owl kids! Anyway, enough whining, I got out this morning for a lovely 7km winter beach run. Quite cold on the sand, and the water is about as cold as it gets down here, but the sun was rising...

    12km around the streets on Saturday morning for my first official winter run. Didn't disappoint. My feet took ages to warm up after I got home. I don't know how you people in snowy climates do it.

    Welcome Leanz! Just across the ditch from you, but we're pretty quiet too. Happy running!

    7km on the beach on a really cold morning today. Ice on the car window when I was leaving. Nice sunrise though. We're currently in a (hopefully) short state-wide COVID lockdown and you can only exercise within a 5km radius of your home, so I'm thankful that I'm lucky enough to still make it out...

    I played basketball in a mismatched pair of shoes two weeks ago because all of my shoes are falling apart, and nobody noticed. Count me in! :)

    Mileage Reporting Week 20 (May 17 - May 23)

    Coming in a bit late on a Wednesday, but here we are. 8km this morning. Had to drop a car off at the mechanic's this morning, so I decided to drive it there at 7am and run home so I could save time. Everything went to plan until later in the morning when I found out that my lovely wife had got...
