Today was the day we trained for all year… and even though we didn’t run all the way we covered 12km in just over 90 mins I think. I’ll let you know when the official time gets released.
It was a very rainy run, I think it rained for 10 of the 12kms. We got absolutely soaked. It wasn’t cold while we were running but it didn’t take long to cool down once we had finished 🥶 A great big thank you to Shelley for printing our awesome t shirts, we got a lot of comments (all good) about them… and best of all we did get a free banana. And Flynn is keen to do it again next year. 🏃‍♀️😊
Have a great week everyone. ☀️

Only one week to go to City to Bay.
Buddy joined us for our runs this weekend, it turns out he is a very good running buddy.
The 3 of us ran 3.5km on Saturday. I wanted to make sure my hip would be ok (and it was).
Sunday we did interval training and covered 6.5km along the esplanade from Port noarlunga to Christies beach and back. It was beautiful, there were heaps of people and dogs out and about. Buddy handled all the dogs very well, he was not distracted from his run for anyone or anything. 😂
Will let you all know how Flynn and I go covering 12km next Sunday. Wish us luck.
Have a great week. ☀️😊

It’s been a few weeks since I posted our running progress mainly because progress has come to a standstill. I strained a muscle in my hip a couple of weeks ago so had to rest it… urgh!!!
I’m not overly good at resting.
We went for a run last week and my hip was really sore after, so no running for the week….
Good news we went running yesterday and my hip was perfectly fine. Yes I will still be taking it slowly for the next couple of weeks because city to bay is coming up.
Flynn of course has been a little champion. Well not so little really.
He is now wearing headphones so running with music which I think makes it so much better. He needs to download himself a running playlist now. 😊

It was perfect running weather this weekend. We did parkrun on Saturday and another personal best. My time was 34.47 so a few seconds better than last week, Flynn was about 5 seconds on front of me. We also saw dolphins 🐬, which is always wonderful.
Sunday we decided we would run the Seacliff parkrun course. We were about 3/4 finished when my right hip decided I wasn’t running anymore today… urgh, so frustrating. I gave Flynn the option of walking with me or finishing the run on his own, and the champion he is, he chose to finish the run. I’m so proud of how far he has come, 6 months ago he was complaining about running for 30 seconds. ❤️ His time today was around 34 mins, I was 38 mins.
Have a great week everyone ☀️

Last weekend we didn’t get a run in at all…. The weather was just against us. We did our 3rd parkrun on Saturday. We managed to get another personal best, with a time of 34.54 mins. Nearly 2 mins faster than last time. Flynn came 1st in his age group, what a champion. I came 5th in mine.
Next week we might try a different parkrun!! If any of you have done parkrun and have a favourite me know.
Have a great week everyone ☀️

We managed to get 2 runs in this weekend. We did our 2nd Parkrun on Saturday. It was horrendously windy at Christie’s beach, but we managed. Our time was 36.18mins. Flynn came 2nd in his age group and I came 6th in mine. Not that we are competitive but both of us want to get under 30 mins and come in 1st in our age group.
With that in mind Flynn asked today if we can train to be able to run 5km without stopping. So we went back to following the c25k app. My Achilles has been really good so I’m taking the increases in running at a much slower pace than I normally would and my body is thanking me for it.
Today’s run was 5min warm up, 3min run, 1.30 min walk, 5min run, 2.30 min walk, 3min run, 1.30min walk, 5 min run, 5 min cooldown. We covered 4.2 kms in 31 mins. Won’t be long and we will be running the full 5km.
I’m super happy that Flynn still wants to come out running with me and is now setting his own running goals. 😊🏃‍♀️

Have a great week everyone ☀️

We had a running win and a running fail this weekend.
I’ll start with the fail. Sundays run was abandoned due to the near hurricane wind at Christie’s beach this morning. Poor Flynn had to work really hard not only to run but to not get blown away. We did manage to get in 2.5kms before we gave in and let the wind win!

On Saturday we did our 1st Parkrun. It was great fun and now I know why so many people participate weekly. It’s all run by volunteers and they were so helpful and friendly. We were a bit late so missed the start. We started the run at about 8.10, the run starts at 8. You are timed from 8am so our times are not accurate. All parkruns are 5kms. Our time was 43.07mins. Flynn was 10th in his age group, I was 5th in mine 😊. I can’t wait to see how we go when we start on time. 😊

I didn’t take a photo after parkrun and you can see by our hair how windy it was this morning. I thought you would enjoy this photo of Buddy this morning with the beautiful sunrise.

Have a great week. 🏃‍♀️

Another gorgeous day for a run…. Only one run this weekend.
Flynn and I went out for a run Saturday, we got out the car and it started raining, it started to get heavier so we decided to can the run. Then on the way home it stopped raining and didn’t rain again all day!!
But Sunday morning was perfect. We did interval training again and in 1hr 9mins covered exactly 10kms!!
Flynn didn’t stop once not even to let me catch up. He just slowed his running down so I could catch up to him. He is very quickly learning how to pace himself. 😊
Have a great week everyone 😊☀️🏃‍♀️

What a beautiful morning for a run. The track was a bit wet, but apart from that it was perfect.

Flynn and I ran today, I had other commitments yesterday and didn’t have time to run.
We did interval training for distance today. We were out for a total of 65 mins and covered 9.5km.
We are going to start to do a short run and a long run on the weekends. So stay tuned for our progress.
I have informed Flynn he will be doing City to Bay with me, the full 12km. He was hesitant at first but is on board now.
Have a great week everyone 😊

What an absolutely beautiful weekend for a couple of runs.
Sorry if you missed us last weekend, I was in Melbourne visiting my Mum, and Flynn wasn’t well the weekend before so this was our first run together for a couple of weeks. I decided to mix it up a bit and we did some interval training.
Saturdays run was 53 mins long - 1 min run, 90 sec walk we covered exactly 8km!!
Sundays run was 57 mins long - 90 sec run, 90 sec walk we covered 8.65km!! We also had a special guest with us, Flynn’s friend Malia.
I’m going to mix up the training we do now, some intervals and some longer runs. Let’s see how we go. 😊
Have a great week everyone.

This weekend won’t count as a training week, as Flynn and I haven’t been for a run together this weekend. 😢
Yesterday was too wet (we have 1 get out of running rule, we don’t run if it’s raining before we start) which it was Saturday. Today poor Flynn has tested positive for influenza A, so he isn’t very well. I did a run/skipping workout at the gym, but that doesn’t really count. Hopefully Flynn will be back soon and we can continue to smash our training goals.
The photo is at the beach this morning, yes it was as cold as it looks. But the good thing is we had the beach to ourselves.
Have a great week everyone. Stay warm. 😊

Week 18
We managed to run both days this weekend, both were challenging runs, but we smashed it. Consistency is paying off.
Saturday our run was - 5 min warm up, 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 5 min cool down we covered 4.49km.
Sunday was 5 min warm up, 8 min run, 5 min walk, 8 min run, 5 min cool down we covered 4.34km.
Flynn was amazing as usual and didn’t have to stop even with the longer running times. I’m pretty sure we will be hitting the magical 5km very soon.

Have a great week ☀️🏃‍♀️
