So Dad is living back in Townsville after being in Fiji for 4 years. For those that don't know, Dad is a runner and has been since an early age.
I have been getting back into fitness training over the last couple of months, but now with Dad back around, I am finding myself being dragged into longer and faster runs (not too fast of course, endurance training really!).
Currently I am at a point where I can jog/run for about 10Km before I am feeling smashed, but this 10Km is a recent achievement and I hope to keep improving on that.
I have done much reading online in regards to motivating yourself to train harder, and many people who are making progress highly recommend blogging their training and accomplishments so far. The idea is that people (hopefully) reading the blog will be keen to see the bloggers progress, and hopefully serve the blogger an ass-kicking if he/she starts to slack off. I am keen to see how that goes!
There are a couple of races coming up that pose quite a challenge to a person at my current level: a 16Km run in Cairns and a 28Km run in Whitsunday’s are both only a few months from now. Both have considerable amounts of uphill terrain (as far as I can tell) and pose quite a challenge to someone at my current fitness level.
Will keep updating,
-Brad

I wish I could run. I have a fear of running.
Anyway, what has happened to the forums. When i try to go there it tells me we have no boards
you haven't reported how your run went
Funnily enough I have written several posts about how things are going, but am not sure if I am happy with the end product yet and therefore have not posted. Also, I did not know people read the front page.
I'll have to read over my posts again and publish them, I think.
well generally i only check your blog once a month to see if there's anything new...but lately there's been more action lol
Well I have to keep myself entertained somehow while Brony is away. :P
