New Year, New.. blah, blah, blah

Yeah yeah yeah. The same old thing being touted by all and sundry at he beginning of any new year. I prefer not to go with resolutions as such, erring on the side of 'how can I improve on what I did last year, what can I do?' I like to take things in small … Continue reading New Year, New.. blah, blah, blah

2020 – time to start again

I just realised it's been 6 months since I posted last. So much has happened. Little did I know that the 2 days later my mum would have taken her last breath and everything went pair shaped. Three weeks later my youngest had a pretty serious mountain bike accident (in hindsight I could have prevented … Continue reading 2020 – time to start again

Couples goals

Hmm, you say what..? I keep seeing the hashtag attached to perky pictures of couple at races or the gym. I hear within other conversations that said couple does everything together (or most things fitness orientated). I roll my eyes at these things. I have this weird feeling about the term #couplesgoals. Look, I am … Continue reading Couples goals

After my last post and the resulting abysmal runs I went off to the physio to see what she could help me with. Not only did I get really good information and help, with instructions on exercises to do, I felt embarrassed by and ashamed of my lack of form. This appeared to be my … Continue reading Off to the physio I go…

Journey to the Pinnacle

It's four and a half weeks til my next big race. The worlds toughest half marathon. And I can believe it. 21kms of incline. To a total height of over 1270 meters above sea level. That's pretty high. And a lot of hard work. Lots of hill to climb. Like a mountains worth, literally. My … Continue reading Journey to the Pinnacle

Times, goals and running underwear

:We'll leave the underwear for a minute, it's nothing raunchy or visual. Just a few thoughts and what I wear, having come about after reading a few articles out there. I was looking through my phone notebook the other day and came across a note from back in August last year (2014). I had done … Continue reading Times, goals and running underwear
