With the Hamilton Half Marathon just over a week away, my trainer partner - personal trainer Lynsey Graham from Advance Wellness & Physiotherapy - and I have been trying to fit in plenty of training runs.
We've entered the 5km fun run event along with a bunch of colleagues. We've been aiming for at least one run together each week and one or two on our own as our schedules allow.
Having completed our running school training with Lynsey's colleague, running coach Kate Caetano, our aim is to finish the 5km injury-free.
We've both been enjoying our training sessions. The runs have been comfortable and we've even managed some (slightly breathless) conversation on our jaunts around the 5km course.
Admittedly I've had to ease up to a brisk walk on some of the hillier parts of the course but so far we've both managed to do the 5kms in about 35 minutes. Not too bad.
