About Me

My photo
Eagle
At high school in the mid 60's I was a reasonable 400m runner with a number of sub 50s. I managed to compete at State level on no athletic but trained for rugby union with my school. I ran the City to Surf in 1973,74 & 75. I was overseas between 1977/80. I ran four marathons in 82/84. I stopped running while my 3 children arrived from 84/92. Sometime in the late 80's started what I had never done before and began to drink very heavily. Early 1997 went into detox/rehab for 5 weeks with alcholism. I then ran the Cites marathon in June 1997 as 'recovery'. I then came back to running after that and became serious and ran Canberra Marathon in 1998 and have now run 131 marathons including Mudgee in August 2011.. Running highlight to date a sub 3 hour marathon in 2007 aged 58. Also winning the Jindabyne Marathon in 2001. Finishing the GNW three time in a row. I guess runninng was always part of me but I just lost it for a while. Present aim : To conntinue past 100 marathons and towards 200 and to run as many 100 milers as I can.
