Just in case any one was wondering, I am still here, just haven't been doing any running (or much of any exercise during 2010) so felt I had nothing much to contribute.
Since January I have been back in exercise mode and have been maintaining a steady diet of rowing, cycling and some swimming. I'm s... Comment - Like

l recently obtained from our public library Dean Karnazes' original book, Ultra marathon Man.
This was another fascinating read from the man who has really taken the sport of ultra running to another level both in terms of the challenges he has dreamt up to continue testing the limits of his endura... Comment - Like

My new (well not exactly as they are a trial pair which have done about 30 miles, nice price though) Newton trainers arrived during the week.
It is early days and we are still getting to know each other but initial thoughts are that they feel comfortable and they are considerably lighter than my A... Comment - Like

Well after a year off running this week I've taken my first, 'baby steps', back to hopefully some regular running.
The goal at this stage is to get through a ten week run / walk / run programme that gradually increases the time spent running and gets my body use to running again hopefully without st... Comment - Like

Its been a quiet week.
I noticed early on in the month a slight twinge in my ankle and after a few weeks this was not improving - in fact was probably worsening slightly as I increased the distance of runs.
I thought therefore I'm best to rest and let it recover rather than ignore it and do more dam... Comment - Like

If you rate yourself a good chance of scoring a top result in your local marathon, you best leave your ipod at home it seems.
In the US a female runner named Jennifer Goebel, who had been awarded the title of first female in the Milwaukee marathon last week, was later disqualified apparently because... Comment - Like

Jack Lovelock, it remains a legendary name in New Zealand's sporting history. Until recently all I really new of him was that he was famous for winning Gold Medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The footage of that race is now almost folklore stuff and is unforgettable for the highly parochial commenta... Comment - Like

Well after four months of inactivity I'm back on the exercise band wagon.
As you may have guessed my brief flirtation with running was quickly curtailed due to an ankle injury which only now seems to be coming right. Maybe my body is just not cut out for running??
So cycling it is again and in the l... Comment - Like

Well apart from a weeks holiday at Mt Maunganui late last month, I now been for a half dozen or so rides over the last few weeks.
I've gradually picked up the distances and today rode my longest yet of 21 km, in 64 minutes.
The plan at the moment is to keep riding 3- 4 times a week at least through ... Comment - Like

Hi there, not much of anything happening around here at present. An ankle issue has curtailed any running for now unfortunately.
So this post is just a bit of a plug for Aucklander Mal Law, who is this week running New Zealand's seven great walks in seven days. The walks span much of the country fro... Comment - Like
About Me
I'm a kiwi guy in guy late 30's and I've got a simple dream of one day running a marathon. Problem is I've been struck down by shin and foot injuries which have hampered my progress for the last year or so.
I blog in order to try and keep the dream alive by hopefully learning more about running from reading of others experiences.
