Train. Improve. Repeat.
Hope you had a lovely Easter! The last week has been a bit of a write off. After running the Twilight Half Marathon I got sick, and today is the first day in a week that I have felt remotely like exercising. I didn't run - instead I worked on my wobbly belly and arms... Continue Reading →
I am sat on New Year's Eve with a smile on my face. No it's not because I have lots of things planned for the evening - (my night will be pretty boring actually) but it is because I am allowed to run again! I went to the physio yesterday and he says there is... Continue Reading →
It's been an interesting week or so which landed me right back in the physio's office and no running thanks to bursitis on my hip and a bit of the same on my shoulder. I thought I would freak out but I was actually quite surprised at how calm I was when my physio said... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I ran my 5th full marathon - the Gold Coast Marathon. This time last year my son was 2 months old and my goal before he was born was to give birth, and then when allowed to: get back into my running and train to run a marathon and I did it! RunStopShop fuelled... Continue Reading →

Wow I can't believe it - it's less than two weeks until the Gold Coast Marathon. What a roller coast ride it has been! I'm almost there now. Tapering off on my longer runs and gearing up to go. The flu that I had has gone now - yay and my shoe issue is 90% sorted.... Continue Reading →
I had a bit of a not so great week last week. After all the trials with my foot and not having run a decent long run; on Tuesday night I then got sick. I'd been outside for too long at night wheeling my son up and down a cold foyer and the next morning... Continue Reading →
Hope you had a great week of long running. It's been a bit stressful for me with my son having a terrible time of teething, getting a cold right before my long run and still suffering a bit with my foot. I am determined I am going to push on through the race and so... Continue Reading →
Well the marathon is almost here and the last week or two have not been without drama as you will have read in my last post. The blister went on to sideline me from a weeks training when distance was at its most crucial. I spent a frustrating week not running and visiting the podiatrist... Continue Reading →
