Eight months ago I had a dream. One my husband was happy to help me with. And we started right then and there - booking flights to my second marathon. Today, I write that my marathon dreams are over. At this stage I highly doubt I will do another one. I won't write it off … Continue reading Marathon dreams

Night running – be organised and be safe
My running backyard is all windy roads with very little curbing or footpath. It's all mainly coastal country roads or gravel roads on steep hills with no where to go when cars come past. I've learnt over the last twelve months how to manoeuvre these roads and be as safe as possible until the last … Continue reading Night running – be organised and be safe
City 2 Casino 2017
It's race recap time again and while I didn't pb as I had wanted to I had a great time. I joined hubby on this run - it was his idea after all, and am so very proud of him and how he went. This is how it went down: - the day was bright, … Continue reading City 2 Casino 2017

This appeared to be my … Continue reading Off to the physio I go…

Today however, it feels like post massage day. I'm a little achy and my knee/shin still hurts. So what do I do now? Well, I keep doing what I have been … Continue reading Kinesiology. Chiropractor.
Goals for the new year
I started this post late last year and since then things have changed quite a bit.... I responded to a Facebook post a few weeks ago about what were we going to do in 2017 to top what we had done this year. I thought a bit about this as there are several answers one … Continue reading Goals for the new year
ITBS
I've learnt more in the last month than I did all last year about my body. ITB. It's a pain in the leg. Firstly, I should have been doing strength exercises a long time ago. I do know this of course, I was just too lazy and didn't realise the impact it would have on … Continue reading ITBS
Point 2 Pinnacle
It's been a week month, and I'm still on a high from this race. We didn't make it to the top and it rained the whole way. It was bloody hard work and I was soaked to the bone. I didn't care, I had a blast and in many ways it was my best race to … Continue reading Point 2 Pinnacle
