Subject: RE: CASUAL run challenge--julyHello everyone! Wow I checked this thread 24 hours ago and there was only one post, now there are eight pages!!! Geez you guys move fast. Is it too late to join this challenge? I've been wanting to do a challenge for ages and this is perfect. I am currently training for a 1/2 marathon in September and I'm following one of the BT training programs. So far I've been going very well but the next month is going to be challenging because I'm going on an overseas holiday! I know that I can't stop training or else I'll lose all my fitness, but I probably won't be able to do as much as I have been so far. At this stage I am running about 100-120kms per month, so I am going to put my goal as 80kms for this coming month. A little bit about me - I live in Australia, in a town called Perth on the west coast. I'm 28 years old, married almost 4 years, no kids but I have a cat, a dog and a tank full of fish. I've been competing in triathlons since 2006. I started off completely unfit and a total non-runner, I've improved a lot since then but I'm still slower than the average. It will be my first 1/2 marathon in September, and then I'm aiming for a HIM in May 09, as well as a few sprint tris through the summer. On our holiday we'll be going to a wedding in Ireland, followed by a trip to New York and then to see some family in Vancouver. I'm really excited, we leave on the 12th of July. |
