Brisbane to Sydney Opera House (virtual run)

Lou Reed died yesterday.  I really love Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground.  I had the pleasure of seeing Lou play at the Hummingbird Centre in Toronto Canada in the late 90's.  What an incredible show.  Pale blue eyes is still one of the songs that can stop me dead in my tracks and force me to listen to the song.  Such a delicate fine thing.  For my run today I listened the Velvet Underground and was happy to do so.

I'm still on track to meet my goal.  Today is the 29th of October and I have 190ks to go.  Which means I have to average 23.75ks a week for the last 2 months of the year.  I've stayed pretty healthy lately and have no significant soreness.  Unless something catastrophic happens the goal shall be met.

Here are some stats for ya.

Distance: 32.78ks (20.4 miles)
Total kilometers: 809.21ks (502.89miles)
Kilometres left: 190.79ks (118.6 miles)
Weight: 87.6 kg (193lbs)

Brisbane to Sydney Opera House (virtual run)

Today is the 21st of October.  My last update was done on the 10th.  I've run a lot since then.  I'm behind my goal. (1000 kilometers in one year)  I've worked out that I have to run at least 25ks a week for the rest of the year to meet my goal. This is going to be challenging.  But I'm up for the challenge.  I just have to stay healthy the whole time.  Shouldn't be that hard.

I just got an update from Adidas saying that my shoes have seen too many kilometers.  That is a nice message to get.  With Christmas around the corner I think I might ask Santa for a new pair of shoes.  I really enjoy the Nike free and have been injury free all year long.  What do you think?

Photography is my hobby that I'm trying to turn into a profession.  On the weekend I took some pictures for lululemon athletica.  (you can find pictures here).  I acquired one of their shirts for running and it is the best running shirt ever.  If you ever get a chance buy this running shirt.  You will be very happy.

Stats:

Distance: 38.86ks (24.2 miles)

Kilometres left: 223.57ks (138.2 miles)

Brisbane to Sydney Opera House (virtual run)

I can't believe it has been a month since my last post.  I can assure you that I have not stopped running but have just stopped posting.  I never realized how busy my new job would be.  On top of that I've done quite a few photography jobs (visit www.cabralphotography.com to see) so that has also taken up a lot of my time. 

So, where am I on my quest to complete a 1000ks this year?  I'm just behind my target.  With only 2 and half months left to go I have to step up my running and make up those lost kilometers.  This week has been a good one.  I'm already done 20ks and I'm going for a run tomorrow morning.  As the weather heats up (its going to be 36c today) I'm back to waking up at 5:00 am to get my run in.  I took a picture of what my run looked like yesterday as the sun rose over Forest Lake.

 

Distance: 97.57ks (60.63 miles)
Total kilometers: 737.57ks (458.31 miles)
Kilometres left: 262.43ks (163.1 miles)
