Had a bit of a hip complaint which slowed me down for a bit, but have got through a couple of decent long runs this last week.
Will be putting my entry in for the half marathon after Wednesday's corporate cup run

My last chances this year are City Bay and Yurrebilla...fingers crossed!
What time did you do keefy?

What sort of km avgs do other follow posters run at for these sort of events?
MW wrote:Sounds painful mate! What did you do wrong?
I'm managing 50-60kms a week now leading up to Yurrebilla with a mix of road (2) and trail (2) runs. Looks like everything is coming to plan for City Bay and Yurrebilla (touch wood!)
