...Months and before you know it, the year has ended, your goals have changed, and your mind set is in a whole new place. I had big plans for this year. Some I have kicked, some have changed and one or two have fallen off the wagon. I'm a little lost at the moment hence … Continue reading Days turn into weeks turn into…

Crank-e 5k: 16/9/18
What can I say? This was one of my best runs. After Ross and being under prepared I got myself sorted and in two weeks turned it around. While 5km is not long it is a fast run, and I wanted to feel confident on the flat loop and be able to push myself. I … Continue reading Crank-e 5k: 16/9/18
Ross 10k – 2/9/18″
It's been a week since and I'm only just getting around to posting this. I'd actually forgotten, being busy with work and trying to calm my quad. I'd done the training but missed hills and strength. Ok, so all I'd done is some running. I arrived on the day half an hour early, perfect time … Continue reading Ross 10k – 2/9/18″
Launceston 10 – 3/6/18
There's the point in each race, at the starting corrals where you think "what did I sign up for" There's the point in each race just after the gun goes off where you think "what am I doing" There's the point in each race near the half way mark where you think "I can do … Continue reading Launceston 10 – 3/6/18
Run the Bridge, Feb 18
The usual pre race nerves set in a few days before hand. The weather, my bib, clothes, food and hydration, getting there on time. My training had gone well and I was feeling good, ready to start and finish the race - enjoying it all the way. We arrived at the start with plenty of … Continue reading Run the Bridge, Feb 18
The 10km plan
You’ve run a marathon, you’ve run more halves than you can count (training runs included) and now you decided you want to have a training plan for 10km runs. Whaaat??? The answer is pretty simple. To help me get enjoyment out of running again. Less pressure on performance, and more on fun. At Ross last … Continue reading The 10km plan
The toughest race is ahead….
Yep, it's that time of the year again. Point to Pinnacle is coming up in just over a week (not 4 days like I thought) and I'm starting to get those nervous feels. The everyday regular nerves that come before something big happens. Nerves that happen in various degrees before a race - the bigger … Continue reading The toughest race is ahead….
Ross 2017 – 21.1km
After a rocky training schedule I started race day with one thing in mind. Finish the race. During my interrupted training I knew I was good for the distance so decided to continue as I could with whatever strength and stretching routines I could muster up. On the day I drove to Ross with a … Continue reading Ross 2017 – 21.1km
GCAM 17 part 2, the race
I get to my corral and, feeling a moment of relief, settle for what feels like half a second to catch my breath. Still feeling a little panicked and out of breath I take off my jacket, and yank on the tutu, all a little too fast to be comfortable. Tying the jacket to the … Continue reading GCAM 17 part 2, the race
Marathon dreams
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
