Running Log and more

I have collected a few Spreadsheets that keep track of my jogs, how far my shoes have run, my weight, my blood pressure, my target heart rates, basically it does a bit of everything. I can't claim credit for any of it except to tweak a few things and to put it all together in one file. I have also included the original Spreadsheet and instructions

How Surf Life Saving helps me stay healthy

My first contact with Surf Life Saving was the same as many people's. I had a child who attended most Sunday mornings. I grew up in the outback mining town of Mount Isa. Needless to say not much surf to save lives from. We have been members of Southport Surf Life Saving Club for over 10 years now. I must say that for most those years I have been happy to stand in the background and do the occasional odd job. Gillian however has always been involved, looking after State squads, organising uniforms and even for the last couple of years being an Age Manager.

About 4 years ago I decided to do my bronze medallion, this was by no means an easy goal for me. In fact it took me 8 months to get my weight down and my fitness high enough to give the Bronze Medallion course a go. My other Goal for the year was to complete the "Bridge To Brisbane" 10k run. So on the Saturday I did my 400 Metre swim in 7.20 minutes and on the Sunday I did the Run in 1 hour 18 minutes. All with a bad cold.
