I said I was going to start a new thread for the running stuff and here it is.
It sounds like senecio and shavey are into it. And Iain and myself are just getting started, although I don't plan on progressing too far, just staying fit and healthy.
I had my first 10k fun run on Saturday, http://www.team-ascent.com.au/page3.html (after a few others at different distances). I was expecting to do it in about 52-53 minutes, but hoping to do it in under 50 minutes (breaking the 5 minutes per km barrier). I ended up running it in just over 47 minutes, so I was very happy with that.
It was a good track with some flat and hilly sections around the headland at Pt Cartwright and beside Kawana Beach.
I thought this thread might be good to track what organised runs we are doing in the future, which might encourage others to join.
senecio said the next one he was doing was this one in a couple of weeks: http://www.glasshousetrails.com/
I haven't decided which weekends I am going back to the Sunshine Coast yet, but I'll definitely try to do the Queensland Half Marathon Day. I'm undecided on whether to do the 10k or 1/2 Marathon, but I'm leaning towards 10k.
