I am a 27yr old ultra runner from Rockingham WA, married to Kate and we have a son called Noah. I run because I have a passion for it and I find freedom in pushing the limits of my ability.

Finding Motivation
It's COLD in the morning these days and I am finding it really tough to get out of my warm bed for my regular morning sessions. This was a problem as I must do the training now for the Caboolture 24hr race, so I decided to leave my entry form on my bedside table. When the alarm goes off at 5am and I turn it off and think 'stuff it, it's just too cold this morning!' I see the entry form and think of how much it's gonna hurt running for 24hrs if I don't train for it. That always does the trick and I get up.

see photo at bottom of above link for motivation to race/train in the cold, although I must admit, its a struggle to get out there at the moment. Wore a jumper for the first time ever for the first few hours of work yesterday morning...soon we will be geting out beanies,scarves,gloves etc...
entry form idea is pretty good one...
It was 0 degrees at start of Perth Marathon in 2005 I think.
