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.

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 →

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.
