Hello and welcome to my site! I’m Russell and I’m a librarian living with my beautiful wife and children in the historic Goldfields town of Bendigo in central Victoria, Australia.

Having been a runner for many years, I have decided that in 2025 I want to be the fittest I’ve ever been. I’ve signed up for the Great Ocean Marathon in May, and hope to do the Mount Macedon Trail marathon in October. I’ve signed up to Runna, an online running coaching service. I’ve joined a gym near the library, and aim to get in a couple of strength training sessions each week.

I’ve created this website mainly to make myself accountable and track my progress towards my goals.
