RUN MELBOURNE 2017
-By Kate Dainton
Run Melbourne is one of my absolute favourite runs. For me it’s not about time, but raising money for the people I love. My brother Joe and sister in Law, Deb had not run 10km before but had joined their local park run 2 months ago. They were nervous! It felt good to not be nervous! Hubby and I set out to be their support crew and pacers. They glided along for the first 6km. All the down hills definitely built their spirits. At 8km they were not smiling or talking! The 60min pacer overtook us and gave us a cheer. I told Deb that we could get 60minutes but she was feeling the pain and all I got from her was “No, I don’t care about those balloons” I laughed and we slowed a bit. At 9km Deb said she didn’t like it anymore and wanted to walk. She was battling to see with her one eye (the other she lost due to a tumor) and had wobbly legs. We pushed them along. I told Deb if she fell I would carry her, but she was going to do it! We crossed the line together. There were lots of happy tears! The aim was to get a sub 1:10. We got 1:02.
We raised $1,300. You can still donate towards neuroscience, which affects millions of lives. Deb had a brain tumor and had it removed along with an eye that is now replaced by a glass eye. She is supported by Royal Melbourne Hospital. Please visit to donate;

P.S I had a phone call today…. “Kate, I think Joe and I should do Shepparton Running festival and get that sub 60minutes! ”… I laughed well of course you should! They have the runners bug.

Road to Melbourne part 3
By Chris Armstrong
This week was a solid week, the main goal was to get the legs heavy to try and do a marathon workout as part of Run Melbourne in the half marathon on the Sunday. That being said, I still wanted to make sure all the little thing’s I’ve been doing for recovery still got done, didn’t want to feel like death out there!!
Here’s the story of this week. There’s some stuff on recovery, some shout outs to a few people, stuff on the sessions from the week, petrol watch and also something a little delicious at the end.
