As it's new years eve I have been thinking a lot about my new year resolutions for 2012. I know many people think new year resolutions are a waste of time and are made to be broken - but I think it's good to have some idea of what you would like to achieve in life... Continue Reading →
Busy week and not much running
The last few weeks have been crazy busy. I've organised three events in three weeks - I'm two events in just one left next week hooray! Problem with being so busy is my training has suffered. I worked a few late nights and then was in Rockhampton for three days this week plus busy preparing.... Continue Reading →
Troublesome week
After running the Brisbane Road Runners Club 5k last week and feeling great the last 7 days haven't been that great. After the race my ankle started to twinge and by last Monday afternoon it was hurting and I didn't dare run and was miserable at the thought that I was doing well and then... Continue Reading →
Great week of running and Les Mills classes :-)
I haven't written for a while, life has been flying by. My training is going well at the moment. This week I decided to have a breather and do what I wanted to do and that was a mix of Les Mills classes and running. So I did back to back classes on Monday -... Continue Reading →
Keep running even when you think you aren’t getting anywhere…

I have been really distracted and demotivated to train which has been a real pain as I was running... Continue Reading →
Training at home and alone is it effective?
Many people find exercising in the comfort of their own home far preferable than bearing all at the gym. I have always been a skeptic as I need people around me to make me push harder and worried exercising at home might make me lazy!
Knowing when too much is too much
So I am going into my second month of P90x and maintaining my running two to three times a week and I will see how it goes, however I think the lunacy back to back workouts need to reduce in order to keep my sanity!
Back on track and going well
I am enjoying doing P90x and managing two running sessions a week and it's going well. I managed to get up to 15.5 on the treadmill in my speed session last week which was a first for me, so the plyometrics and the weight work is working, making me a stronger runner - awesome.
The hard work is finally starting to pay off
Too often we are unhappy with what we have and we always want more, but I am finally starting to realise actually I have come a long way, I have toned up, I am fit now and I don't look so bad either 🙂
