Running Club

Re: Running Club
Eagle,
We were in Melbourne in April (flew out day after FLM - but that's another story!) I too was impressed with the number of people up and active so early in the morning. I went for a run along the River at 6.30 on a Sunday. I was a bit nervous at the thought of being in a city so early on my own but soon discovered the place was thronged on with running clubs, power walkers, rowing clubs etc. I can understand that it may be too hot to run later in the day but this was in autumn so not a problem.
I've researched running clubs on the net in the area we want to settle and there are loads. I'm not competitive but would love some peeps to run with. Will you be joining a club?
Can anyone else on here recommend a club on the mornington peninsular?

Re: Running Club
is anyone else signed up for a run this Sunday in Sydney?
i'm really in two minds as to run or not
just had 3 days of a gastro bug and still haven't yet found my feet
i don't want to push myself and end up worse off for it, but then this will be my one and only shot at running the bridge... what should i do?

Re: Running Club
i'm not used to the high impact, as i do almost all my training in the bush (whoop whoop, fnarr fnarr)
it was a fantastic run when all is said and done, 21 reasonably flat ks, great route, but never again
i'm not feeling too bad at all today, i'm wondering when it will catch up with me

Well done for doing it.... I bought one of those knee support things when I was having bother which seemed to help.
Did you run over the bridge?

Re: Running Club
yep it was over the bridge, that was one of my big incentives for doing this one
my OH took a piccie of me doing a star jump in the middle of the bridge - that was when the enthusiasm hadn't worn off

Re: Running Club
i ended up having to walk probably 4ks on and off at the end with a sore knee which probably accounts for the extra 20 mins
i would say maybe next time, but then there isn't going to be a next time :shakeshead:

I'd love to run over the bridge.
Well done

Re: Running Club
I'm gutted. I went for a run at lunchtime - just half an hour or so, along the river to the wobbly bridge, then over and back along the other side. Really enjoyed it too. But just as I got back to the office I realised I'd lost my iPod out of my pocket. I was well gutted, so ran the whole bloody thing again to see if I could find it - bit of a long shot I know - and I couldn't.
So I guess I'll have to buy one of the new ones. And a new running gadget thing. And now I'm really knackered too cos ran twice as far as planned!

Well done for running it twice!
You should talk to iPom because between you you have two halves of the kit and you should be able to make a whole one between you.
