I'll go out on a limb here and say...if you can do that, you can run a hundred miler! Lynn B
Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson

Now that was a bath...
My aim is to one day end up in Mount Whanganui - the cutest darn little surf town with a fab beach that wraps around the base of an old volcano. Claire xxx
Good Bad & The Monkey
Just wanted to post an introduction as I have been lurking on your forum, trying to get some tips. I recently decided to run the Auckland Marathon next October and I am trying to gather as much information and knowledge as possible between now & then. I am running in my first race (a quarter marathon) in January, the 'Wharf2Wharf' - Waiheke Island Fun Run, here in New Zealand. I am only going to do the 12k race is it is a particularly difficult and hilly course and I am a complete novice to racing. I am 35, a mother of four and a passionate runner. I run every day at the moment (get up to run at 5am befoe the kids get up) and have a ten week schedule to the first race which starts this week. I am looking at doing a second quarter marathon in March, followed by a half marathon in July - which should incorporate into my Marathon training. I have a few questions for you all! *What shoes are you running in? *Women - have you had any issues training alone? *What sort of distances will I be running when I will need to take fluids with me on the run? (currently I only run 5-8km a day and I manage by drinking before and after the run) *Any tips? I look forward to learning from you all! Claire xxx
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Thus the madness began...
