This week has been a good and bad week. At the beginning of the week I was still struggling with my running. I talked about it in my last post and have deduced it is the time of the year. I have been feeling like my times have not been improving even though I have been... Continue Reading →
What are your 2015 running goals?
About this time of year every year I start to reflect on the year that has been and what I'd like to try and achieve in the next 12 months of my running. This year has been an interesting one since I had my little boy part way through the year but it has been... Continue Reading →
One step forward – two steps backward….. getting back into running
Hope you are having a good week of training! It's been beautiful here in Brisbane with gorgeous blue skies everyday. I've been taking full advantage getting out and about with baby M.

What a weekend of challenges!
Wow what a weekend it has been although mine has not been as strenuous as some. My beautiful South African friend finished a 168km run over 5 days around the Mont Blanc area and some of my friends completed Tough Mudder as I mentioned in my last post. It's so awesome to have challenges and... Continue Reading →

Taking running to new heights – my run up Mount Cootha, Qld
I've really been pushing the training this week and this week has been a real step up a notch in my efforts. I don't know what happened but on Sunday I was exhausted and demotivated after my 10.5k and then on Monday I was on fire to train and push to new limits- awesome -... Continue Reading →
Even though you run – are you fit in other areas?
My wonderful friend is a personal trainer. We run together and we sometimes do weights together, but I have never really had an appreciation for the group fitness style of training thinking I didn't need to do it. So anyway she recently started another round of her Fit Camp training sessions on a Sunday afternoon... Continue Reading →
