The Ultimate Running Date is a monthly check-in where we talk about all things running related, from the amazing, the good, the bad & the ugly.
With 2018 done and dusted it’s time for our annual catch up. How was running for you in 2018? Did you achieve what you wanted to achieve? Or was it less than stellar? 2018 was all about building the ks into my legs. You see I have some big goals coming up for 2019. To […]
I find that whenever October rolls around, the end of the year just flashes by way to fast. You see, from October my timeline looks like this: 1st October – Dad’s Birthday 3rd October – Husband’s Birthday All weekends in October – Kayla’s dance rehearsals Concert / Running Event Kayla’s Dance Concert 15th November – […]
Wow, what a month September was. I set a challenge to run every day in September, and that I did. In typical post-holiday style, I’ve not got a bit of a head cold. Considering it was go-go-go, I’m pretty sure my body is saying “this is what you get for thrashing me for 30 days […]
Spring has finally sprung here in the southern hemisphere, and oh my word, I’m totally loving this sunshine. Of course, winter still has to have its last hurrah, and there have been a few frosty mornings. Keep those gloves and thermals handy, as you may still need them. That still doesn’t mean I’m not going to […]
Have you got those shoes ready? GPS ready to go? Good, let’s get to it. Let’s go running! We are officially in our last month of winter. Woohoo. It’s always around this time of year, that I’m just done with winter. Thankfully we don’t live in a climate where we have extreme weather, of snow […]
Winter has come with a bang, so I hope you have those warm running clothes as we are going to need them on these frosty mornings. Let’s lace up those shoes and get warm with our ultimate running date. June saw me have a birthday. Tom got me the UltrAspire Zygo’s pack. I had this […]
With the cooler weather now upon us, it’s time to dust off those warmer running clothes. We shall need them for our running date. This morning it was a balmy 1.4°c. Brrr. Yeah, just a tad cold for my liking. May, was a quiet month when it came to running. I started a 10km training […]
May I ask you to come running with me? Yep, that’s right it’s that time again for our monthly running date. Strap on those shoes and let’s catch up. April was a big month when it came to events. A change in the SAAC running calendar meant that we could attend our running club event […]
Last month I told you about my new headlamp the Led Lenser H8R. Let me just say that I am in love. I will do a proper review of it after the Canberra Running Festival. March was my peak training month, and there were runs where I thought “you want me to do that?”. Yes, […]
You’ll need a headlamp these days if you want to come running with me. To fit in my runs, I’ve been waking up at 5:20 to get my sessions in before heading off to work (8 am starts). While I love my petzel, it’s more suited to urban area’s. Which is why I have invested […]
