It’s been a nervous wait for a bunch of keen people as they waited for their GRGR18 parcel to arrive in the mail. From the comments online it looks like I was one of the first to receive the coveted package.
Inside there was all sorts of goodies and a nice note from Ethan Newberry (aka The Ginger Runner). So now that I have my swag it’s time to really get stuck into the training for this.
With only two weeks to go the competition is hottting up to climb the leader board. As usual I’m up near the top (in first place actually) as we go into Sunday afternoon NZ time).
Last week I was in a similar position and ended up being 7th. So I’m hoping that the extra miles I put in this week will see me placed a little higher at the end of the week for the rest of the world.
I’m super stoked to get my Ginger Runner gear and I’m looking forward to wearing the t-shirt as I go running through the streets of Wellington on October.
Check out the video below to see what came in the package.

It was not enough however :-( I'm already down to second place. I'm going to have to pick the pace up a bit this week think.

No need to be a masochist to run well... but a bit of pain could make you stronger. ;)

I don't even do that distance in a month! I admire your dedication. Hope the feet hold out okay

Thanks. The feet seem to be recovering slowly. They were already unhappy so I bought new shoes. but that didn't fix it. I think it was the pounding I gave them running around the south coast on the rocks.
So I'm sticking to the nice soft road (well it is nice in comparison) and that seems to be working.

That's awesome. I wasn't even paying attention to the GRGR this year, so I missed out.

hehe thanks. That didn't last long however. I'm back down to second this morning. And it will likely drop during the day as other runners clock their runs.
It looks like I'll have to run even harder this week....
