Geoff and I were trail sweeps for the Diez Vistas add on, that is to say , after crossing the floating bridge, five of us and two hounds set off to check out the vistas!

So far, having managed to keep pretty much on track with the 10-12 hours a week,three or four sessions a week of 3 hours will do it.(I work split shifts for only 3.5 days a week)

So, 48 days to go! I'm so excited already, I had to take a swim to calm down after the run.

So I'm happy with this finish, I'm not used to running 5 minute

The 1/2 Monty was good, thanks to my wing girls. Louise (and her dog) and Lindsay.

Danimal e'd me Saturday asking if I wanted to join Aaron mellow and himself in yet another assault on Mt.Finlayson. You can guess my answer was pretty predictable! Sure think , count me in. The plan was for he and I to start at 8:00 from Ma Millers and hook up with m & Aa. @ 8:30 at the Goldstream Nature centre, this we did.

The running club that I am loosely affiliated to in Victoria had organised a mountain run this Sunday, wanting to run a little longer I decided to start from a different location and meet them on the top.

To get my goals set, I find it easier to tell someone what I'm doing, and then I really have to do it! So hear goes.... Training:- Forget about trying to convert unmeasurable training runs to Kilometres or Miles.(for us trail runners, it's just a hangover from our 10K days...) Up my average training hours per week to 12,throughout the year, with some more roads and trails. Make one of my runs at least 4 hours.(this will give me hours in the bank plus a couple of rest days) Get in some dawn running in the spring.
