For the past few weeks I’ve been searching online for other women who are running while pregnant. I guess a part of me wants the validation that what I’m doing is normal, though what is normal really? We have our own definition and shouldn’t really be swayed by others. It’s about having a support network.… Read More
I love summer. What’s not to love, warm sand, blue skies, cool ocean and gorgeous sunshine adding a bit of colour (or too much) to your skin. Today is a scorcher. The car thermometer was showing 35C at 9am! Some inland parts of the Gold Coast even recorded 42C+. It’s days like these I wish… Read More
We’ve a new favourite meal in our household, vegetarian nachos. I love Mexican food especially when it includes sour cream and guacamole. While nachos are generally looked as a junk food, the vegetarian version is delicious and packed with colourful vegetables and much leaner than it’s meat counterpart. I got the idea for these Vegetarian… Read More
The first run of 2014 was a slow one, just under 8min/km, and a short one, 3km. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised given the pregnancy and the fact that I had just spent Christmas and New Year eating, eating and eating some more. December is generally a blow out and then January is time… Read More
2014 is going to be an interesting and challenging year for both J and I. We’re currently pregnant and due to give birth in mid May. After that it’s 5-6 months of maternity leave for me before heading back to work in mid October or start of November. I still want to set some goals… Read More
Happy New Year! Wishing you all a happy, healthy, fit and prosperous 2014!
Bye-bye 2013, it’s been nice knowing you. The ups and downs, highs and lows. What can I say? Very little went according to plan this year. But that’s just how things roll. Running wise O.M.G! Piss poor effort on my part.
Every year it’s the same, weeks of preparation and anticipation, for two days of entertaining, eating and drinking (although no drinking for me this Christmas). The time goes by so quickly that sometimes it doesn’t even feel like Christmas but than you look at your protruding belly from having too many roskie pierogi (dumplings with… Read More
Dear Santa For Christmas this year I wish for every one to be happy, healthy and prosperous. Let’s enjoy our food and the spirit of Christmas surrounded by family and friends, laughter and love (and to fit in a run or two in between all the eating). Merry Christmas!!!
The first week of December focused on walking. It was just easier to do than anything else. Lunchtime walking and weekend walking. While the work week entailed only 20 minute walks during the day, the weekend involved 3 one hour plus walks including one power walk at the beach. I’ve started to show and… Read More
