The blog of a new(ish) running addict. The aim is to raise $10 000 for Beat Bowel Cancer Aotearoa. I will be running the Abel Tasman Coastal Classic - 34km -18/9/10, The Molesworth Run -85km- 20/11/10, The Tarawera Ultramarathon- 100km- 19/3/11, and the final goal is to complete the 100km North Face Blue Mountains Ultramarathon on 14/5/11. Please visit http://www.beatbowelcancer.org.nz/bbca/ to donate to this worthwhile cause

36 hours to the Abel Tasman Coastal Classic
Big skies in Mid Canterbury today. For good measure the biggest storm on the planet (a depression of 950 Hpa) is positioned 1000km south of New Zealand promising to bring strong winds and heavy rain over the next 48 hours. This won't affect the run because .... it is in the bush and nice and sheltered. Yeah right. If the weather conditions are not suitable, then the run will be altered from the 34 km Awaroa -Marahau one way trip, to the Marahau-Torrent Bay-Marahau 28 km run. There are also other minor considerations such as the flight to Nelson tomorrow and the boat trip to get to the start on Saturday morning.
The running shirt and cap arrived courtesy of Rachel Holdaway who is the busy Ashburton Beat Bowel Cancer facilitator and has also been targeted by magpies recently. Many thanks for this - Very smart! I will have to really run well now!

I will post some run photos on Sunday. Many thanks again for the contributions - there was $80 in the collection box in the last 3 days which is just great.
Ka kite.
