Tuggeranong Runner: Motivation - a love story Part 2

http://tuggrunner.blogspot.com/2007/07/motivation-love-story-part-2.html

Friday, July 20, 2007. Motivation - a love story Part 2. Oh, damn", I thought, suddenly amazed at my ability to speak in tongues. My high school English teacher would be proud. The love of my life, Motivation, had disappeared in the trance of time. Some might say she wasn't mine alone. I know men are from Mars and women are from god-knows-where but THIS was ridiculous! Where had she gone? It is a bit like that for runners, too, missing their motivation. So often in running and in life all the world's...

Tuggeranong Runner: March 2007

http://tuggrunner.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 28, 2007. I am just back from my latest work trip, this time to South Korea. No more work trips planned for some weeks, which is a real relief. Next stop: Boston - Monday 16 April! I leave for Boston in two weeks on 12 April, flying Qantas to LA and then American Airlines to Boston. Accommodation in Boston is heavily booked and I could only get some place out in the boondocks. But to be there - yo baby! Thursday, March 15, 2007. There's a logic (which is one way of putting it! I first vi...

Tuggeranong Runner: Venus in our vines

http://tuggrunner.blogspot.com/2007/09/venus-in-our-vines.html

Saturday, September 08, 2007. Venus in our vines. I had a real weekend of contrasts when it came to running. On Saturday I did the usual run with my group over 20k's or so out at the Cotter Reserve. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, yet it is only about a 10 minute drive from Canberra's western suburbs. It was a gloopy morning for running with mist and light drizzle. The conditions (at left) could easily have been mistaken for any melanchol. Y day on the Yorkshire moors. But how does a loft...

Tuggeranong Runner: February 2007

http://tuggrunner.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 25, 2007. And the winner is.". Boston it will be. I am going to do it for the experience. This injury has ruled out any chance of thinking about PB's. My preparations are already well behind and I am simply looking to get in some big long runs before the day, rather than worry about piling on big weekly k's. Flights and accommodation have been booked. So it's Boston or bust! Sunday, February 18, 2007. Tuesday, February 13, 2007. PRB, Griffin, Friar. And others. Speedy Geoff. Was there, n...

Tuggeranong Runner: December 2006

http://tuggrunner.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 16, 2006. Tesso - one of the Magi. Canberra was graced by one of the Queens of the blog world, when Tesso from Brisbane joined me (at left) and a couple of others for a nice run around the Mawson, Isaacs, Wanniassa area of Canberra's south. Being runners we can accept any challenge, leap tall buildings with a single bound, stop trains, etc. A little later in the run for the first time ever I fell, tripping over probably not much at all and landing in a flurry of dust, interupting a ver...

Tuggeranong Runner: Bush Capital Marathon Festival

http://tuggrunner.blogspot.com/2007/07/bush-capital-marathon-festival.html

Saturday, July 28, 2007. Bush Capital Marathon Festival. I've just walked in the door, dry salt still on my face, and sweaty and smelly after a great run in one of this morning's Bush Capital events. It was beaut morning for running, not too cold or too warm with a nice breeze in parts. I really enjoyed my run. I ran easily for the first 12k's or so and had a good chin wag with a bunch of other runners. Were there as was the Queen herself, Lucky Legs. It was also really nice to meet. Glad to hear you had...

Tuggeranong Runner: June 2007

http://tuggrunner.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 23, 2007. My spies in Brisbane have told me that my home town is going through a cold patch at present where the overnight minimums might dip below 10 on the odd occasion. I'm sure that will be too cold for some runners up north. I can imagine some will brave the elements in their finest Antarctic running gear with a whine or two about how cold it is. Ahh! Nah We just got on and did the job in what was a magnificent morning for running. How's that for a sunrise (to. On a (slightly) more se...

Tuggeranong Runner: Just call me TD

http://tuggrunner.blogspot.com/2007/08/just-call-me-td.html

Friday, August 03, 2007. Just call me TD. Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments on my previous post which are greatly appreciated as always. After the 'excitement' of my Moty posts and earlier overseas adventures with pigeons and all I decided on a deliberately low-key tone for that last post. But as a couple of you very perceptively picked up (Cirque and Eddie especially), 'My Moty' has well and truly returned. She's back indeed. And I do feel like the Old Running Don of Old. It was pleasing to ge...
