Running, running, running!
Well I am getting there with the running. I can now run 8.5km comfortably, but it took 57 mintues. I am thinking ahead to the Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run next month and just don't know what to do.
There are 2 lengths. 4.5km and a 12km one. The 12km one can be walked/run and there are two lower divisions, one that everyone walking can do and then one above that where you aim to have it done in 90 minutes. I *think* it is possible to do. Once I push past that first pain barrier, I find the rest seems easy.
I have also realised that I am doing some small hills on my run. Not mountains as such, but the sort where you are finding it hard and then look back and see you have been doing a long slight incline. I did that particular part twice today and that is the hardest part. Even harder was that was where the (cold) wind tunnel was, so I was running up this stupid incline with wind against me :( I wasn't going to let it beat me though!
Loj has suggested waiting to chose which length I want to run until I am up around 10kms with the run and not coming against a wall. I know I would kick myself if I didn't do the 12km one though. BUT, I don't want to revert to walking part of the course either!
Righto.... better go think about dinner for the fam (as Loj - the usual chef) is watching the Bulldogs/Tigers game on tv.
OK what if you get a copy of the route that is to be run - and you run that route as close as possible sometime in the near future. Then you know what you can and can't do

Thanks for the suggestion Jadey, but it is in Brisbane and they shut down the bridge etc for the run. It is too far to go for a trial if that makes sense. I guess I will do the 12km and if I have to walk part, so be it...then next year I aim to do better??
Have I mentioned how much I hate leaving in Toowoomba in times like this?? :(
