2 weeks ago 29 braved the chilly at the Greytown Park Run this morning. A shower of rain came through in the last few minutes to catch the tail enders. Brrr. The streams were filled up the brim and there were quite a few puddles on the course so I'm presuming a lot of rain fell overnight. . . . #windchill #parkrun #parkrunnz #greytownparkrun #woodside #greytown #run #runner #running #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #oldandfit #qwikkiwi #consistency #consistencyisthekey #fitover50 #fitover60women #maturerunner #womenrunners #mizuno #readysteadygo #hrdata
2 weeks ago I have never run in the local athletics club road series before, but I thought it would be good training today and it was held close to home so I ran to the start line. It was a mass start in order to determine which grade athletes will be in next time. . I ran pretty much at my current limit. I had a few others around me which motivated me to try and stay with them. On several occasions I tried to up my pace to get past someone. This is obvious in the pace chart. I wanted to
1 week ago Got all my ducks in a row this morning and actually got my long run done - endurance pace zone, complete with the stride outs near the end. After doing some of the trails around Henley Lake I headed into town where I took a photo of the new building which Big Save will utilise. It has been on the site where the Empire Hotel was located and where John & I had our wedding breakfast in 1975. . #longrun #run #runtraining #runner #running #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #qwikkiwi #consistency #consistencyisthekey #henleylake #lake #womenover60

2 weeks ago The Palmerston North park run is on an out and back course, following the river. I can usually post a faster time on this paved surface compared to the Greytown Park Run trail surface. One more minute faster and I'll equal my park run PB which I set on this course back in April. . . #instarunner #run #runner #running #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #qwikkiwi #consistency #consistencyisthekey #parkrun #parkrunnz #5kmrun
4 days ago Two weeks after doing the Palmerston North park run I returned to run in their 100th event. I love the stats that park runs generate. I improved by 24 seconds on my effort two weeks ago. If, no actually WHEN I shave off a further 28 seconds I will equal my best park run time I set in April this year, also at Palmerston North. Today 197 people crossed the finish line. I managed to pass the group behind me in the last kilometre. Park run events are a wonderful concept and run by volunteers. Thank you volunteers! Photo credit:
