On Friday afternoon I was asked to fill in for a touch team that night at 6.30pm. I’d never played for this team before. Didn’t really know who was in it. Playing meant delaying Friday drinks. I say that like it’s an ‘occasion’ but it’s really Dave and I avoiding the children’s bedtime with a can in hand …
Our 5th season as rugby parents has just come to a close, and with that our washing machine, gumboots, weekday evenings and Saturday mornings breathe a collective sigh of relief! Don’t get me wrong, we LOVE rugby, but it’s a big commitment at J1 level – and the commitment is required by the whole family, not just Ethan. In terms …
Like many (MANY) Mondays, I woke this week determined to pay for the excesses of the weekend. Tell me I’m not the only repeat offender who does this? There was a bit of carb-fest on Sunday as we hibernated, watched a movie and lazed around with the kids after a fairly epic Saturday night farewelling the 2016 rugby season with Dave’s team …
The past month, our first with our treasured Springfree Trampoline, has flown by with a blur of little noses pressed to the windows, assessing the rain, the temperature, the amount of towels left in the linen cupboard to dry off the tramp’s mat for the 4th time in a day………….(OMG rain!). #tgomalife is real guys and my boys have caught …
I’ve sitting down thinking hard about the run I just returned from. It was supposed to be 6km. It was 4km. It was supposed to be fast. It was slow. I imagined it to be moderate. It absolutely nailed me. I quit after 4km and walked home. Run Fail. But it’s not really is it? 4km is a damn …
On Sunday I finished my first ever, road running event. This was my second fitness event – I ran the Mud Run back in winter. So a lifetime total of TWO events! In one year! I actually can’t believe it! The Skechers Women’s 6k was a game changer for me. After a cracking summer of running and a great autumn, winter …
The Skecher’s Women’s 6k is now only 4 days away! I’ve upped my training over the past few weeks with Coach (hubby lol) and I’m feeling pretty good about it – excited even! I rarely get to run such a straight, flat course so I can’t wait, my usual routes around our neighbourhood are short straights with twists and turns onto …
The irony of completing this years Tough Gal challenge to close out one of the most difficult weeks I’ve had in recent memory is not lost on me I assure you. The poignancy of it, the lovely group of women I did the event with and, let’s be honest, the fact that I fucking killed it with no training (!) …
Ethan said this to me about 4kms into my run yesterday. We preempted a bit of a lazy day for him and insisted he accompany me on his bike. He usually just “gaps it” – his words – completes the distance as quickly as possible and I see him back at the house. Yesterday he stuck with me over the …
E has been limping around the house, limping around the rugby field and walking on his tip-toes for about 6 weeks now. As he has some pretty brilliant melodramatic tendencies we just assumed his complaints were to be taken with a grain of salt. That his odd gait was something that had become a bad habit needing to be broken. …
