Train. Improve. Repeat.
Sorry - long time no talk! I haven't written anything in a week or three as our baby finally arrived! He arrived!! Max was born at the end of April - it was a fairly quick labour and nice and pain free thanks to the epidural I made sure I had! I read lots of articles... Continue Reading →
The last few weeks have seriously been a blur. I had three work events in three weeks and I am still recovering now. We had an open day, then an event in Rocky for 4 days and then an event in Brisbane for 4 days and whilst I assured myself before they all started that... Continue Reading →
Have you ever been an overtrainer? I have. I went through a period where I wanted to train and train, and my times got really good and I didn't want to rest because I was worried I would lose my fitness (in one day yeah!). I've been thinking a lot lately about my running and... Continue Reading →

So I have been gearing up for my first race for a good couple of months now. Woke up this morning and felt ok but it's 8pm now and I have slowly felt worse and worse as the day has gone on and my race is tomorrow ! I've drunk plenty of fluids, had my... Continue Reading →
It's all change from next week! I'll be a lady of leisure as my job is coming to an end. I shouldn't say this but i am actually looking forward to not having to get up at 5am to fit my training in. I'm planning an extensive training programme! In fact I got quite excited... Continue Reading →
I was going through some stuff at home the other day and I came upon a box of medals that I have had from the races I have run. It's funny because it seems to be now that entering a fun run or general race means you get a medal even if you don't win.... Continue Reading →
