...in the space of a few weeks Life as we know has changed irrevociably. Coronavirus (covid 19) has taken the world by storm, literally. Countries are shut down, our borders here in Australia, and Tasmania, have closed (and being an island continent makes it somewhat easier to control) and projects, plans,, races, wedding and funerals, … Continue reading What a change..

Inadvertent Trail Run
rainforest trail to cave entrance part of the abandoned rail tracks Saturday just past the plans for our respective days went somewhat pear shaped and my Parkrun 5k turned into an awesome trail run. Hubby had a more stressful change yet still managed to get a motorbike ride in. So what actually happened? It started … Continue reading Inadvertent Trail Run
Days turn into weeks turn into…
...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.

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″

Work wear, gym wear and dressing up. My colleague asked what gym she uses … Continue reading What’s your exercise?

Really...? What makes up a bad run. Slow speed or pace. Niggly old or new injuries. Mental or emotional worries and stress? We may certainly use these as a reason for a bad run, but I think it comes down to something a lot more simple. You had a plan or expectation in mind which … Continue reading There’s no such thing as a bad run…
My Journey – the first 2 years…
In the two years I've been running 'seriously' - as in training and running events, not just running for the love of it - I've had one hell of a fun time. There have been amazing highs and heart breaking lows. I've had fantastic races and great times. I’ve had bad runs, horridly slow runs … Continue reading My Journey – the first 2 years…
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….
