PAINFUL 10KM WITH ONLY 10 DAYS TO GO!
Wednesday 30th July 2008

I went for a longer run tonight - Just over 10km around Blackwattle Bay and over ANZAC Bridge.... It took over 56 minutes! Though I had done a mean RPM and Yoga session the day before. It has blown my estimated City 2 Surf to over 77 minutes!!!


My 10km track, form home around Blackwattle Bay,
over ANZAC Bridge and home again

There are now only 10 days to go until the 2008 City 2 Surf... If you've not sponsored me yet please visit my hero page: http://city2surf.everydayhero.com.au/Ben_Peake every dollar counts!

 

7KM BAY RUN IN UNDER 35 MINUTES
Sunday 27th July 2008

I completed the 2008 Bay Run in a surprising 34:25!! I came in position 328 overall or 91 for my category, there were over 1215 competitors.

The Bay Run fun run is a community event that brings people together in the name of health, fun and exercise. All funds raised from the Bay Run go to provide facilities for the children of Dobroyd Point Public School.

 

BEST RUN EVER!!!!
Thursday 10th July 2008

Last night I ran the fasted 8km of my life! I completed my normal track in under 43 minutes!!!

My regime of no drinking alcohol, early nights, healthy food and varied exercise (including running, weights, RPM bike class, and Yoga) is working!

 

IT HAS ARRIVED!
Friday 4th July 2008

Today I arrived home to a little package in my mailbox. It was my bib and timing chip for the City 2 Surf!
