Well, well, well. Today was a bit of a blow out. A nutella raspberry brownie with morning tea, extra large gourmet sandwich at lunch, and a chocolate bar mid afternoon. It’s not easy when there’s sweet treats being sold as fundraisers for all sorts of charities. I have little resolve when I know it’s going… Read More
Once upon a time gym etiquette was the norm. Towels, fresh faced, sweaty and working out. Nowadays I walk into the gym and all I see is pretty boys taking selfies, girls with more make up than a drag queen and resting bitch face on both sexes. Have I missed something? I probably should just… Read More
When it comes to gadgets and applications I’m a late bloomer. I’ve been using Endomondo for my training for the past eighteen months and I love it. It’s great to be able to view the stats by day, week, month and even year. I can see whether I’m running faster, further or longer. I can… Read More
For those who know me well, I get bored quickly and easily. While I am a creature of habit I love change, exploration and seeking new experiences. I’ve run. I’ve done triathlons. I like to pump iron too. In fact, a good seven or so years ago my primary physical activity was weights at the… Read More
Loving my new ASICS – they are oh so comfy! Oh my God, how much do I love running right now? Like lots, lots and lots. I can’t remember the last time I was having so much fun pounding the pavement, feeling the sand sink beneath my toes, the water splash against my ankles. I’m… Read More

But what happens when you need to entertain unexpected guests? Finish the article that’s due the next day? Or help… Read More
Running 21.1km isn’t the way most envisage spending their Sunday morning but it’s a race that anyone can do but not everybody will do. With a three hour time limit even the beginner runner can conquer the distance and still get up the next day. If it’s your first time then ideally you want to… Read More
Broadbeach Today was just the way I wanted it to be. Sad to say that doesn’t happen all too often, especially on a Monday. I arranged to have today off from work given the exciting weekend that just passed. With photo shoots, organising and attending one of my best friend’s baby shower and running a… Read More
Pre race breakfast Today’s run: A-w-e-s-o-m-e!!! You can’t plan great days and great runs. They just happen. It’s the little things that make them all the more special. The unexpected moments. Whether it’s the good deed on the track, a familiar face from the past in the crowd, feeling strong from start to finish, a… Read More
Gorgeous day at North Burleigh It’s been a hectic day. I’ve been on my feet since 8am this morning, it’s now almost 8pm and I am knackered that my hands are shaking. The three black coffees I had earlier don’t help. Home made boxes with sweet treats inside The baby shower tomorrow is all set.… Read More
