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 …
I know not everyone has aspirations to be a runner, but I always, always have. I was pretty good at a few sports growing up and fair to middling at the rest. I gave everything a go and joined every sports team there was on offer at school. But I was never a runner. Cross country days hurt me, deep down …
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 (!) …

Despite a long and distinguished career {I began running way back in December 2014!}, I had never hit the wall like this before and to tell the truth was beginning to lose interest. I SO …
Since December 23rd 2014, I have run 251 kilometers. This is something I’m pretty proud of, I can also feel every single one of those kilometers concentrated in the arch of my right foot! Ow. I don’t have plans to give up anytime soon as the changes in my body {NOT on the scale I might add} have been so …
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 …
So, a weird thing happened to me on the 23rd of December 2014. We arrived in Waipu to spend Christmas with Mum and Geoff and those l o n g, straight country roads began doing odd things to my head. And I’m being very serious here; I couldn’t stop thinking about getting out there and putting my sneakers on, just …
