So, two weeks of regular training and I’m back to feel like my old self. Well maybe not old, but definitely my better self. Who would have thought that it would only take a few sessions at the gym? Ok, well I did. I knew all along and yet I forced myself to suffer for… Read More
Balance. I’m seeking it but it keeps getting ahead of me and instead all I feel is commotion and chaos. It’s not easy to find a healthy balance between work, home, family, friends, health & fitness, goals, hobbies, rest and sleep. No one said it was going to be easy. I’m still trying and I’m… Read More
I hit the gym today. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. Lifting weights, going heavy, watching my muscles work in the mirror. I love the shaking afterwards when I’ve worked just a little bit too hard. I forgot for a while what it was to train just for the satisfaction. A friend at work… Read More
Jet lag. Oh what a feeling. I can’t stand it. I love flying, traveling and moving through time zones. I really do. Then I have to return home. I’ve found that it’s the journey home that gets me. It takes days to recover. Nights to get my body in sync with the right time zone.… Read More
I’d like to go for a run. It’s raining outside. I’m not going to go for a run. It’s 5am and I can’t sleep except that it feels like 3am because it’s dark outside and I only just got to bed four hours ago. I’d like to run but I’m funny like that –… Read More

Thankfully our friends had picked up our race packs the… Read More
Wow. I made it. 30. Honestly, I had my doubts. I remember a good fifteen years ago that my 30s were so far away. But they crept up quicker than I could have imagined. I recall my high school graduation like it was yesterday, going to uni lectures, dropping out, working places, travelling, falling in… Read More
First race this year
So, Easter is over. I don’t know about you but I overindulged the past few days. I’m not talking chocolate either. Just food in general. Breakfast that stretched to lunch. Snacks in the afternoon. Followed by dinner that probably wasn’t necessary. Several bowls of soup. Is it weird that I binge on soup? Whenever we… Read More
Yay! I’m so excited to be running again. This week I’ve managed to do three runs – Monday 3km, Wednesday 3km and Friday 4km. Ok, so that’s not much. But given that I can count on two hands how many times I’ve run this year, this is awesome. My motivation and mojo are back. Time… Read More
