My week without social media

March 23, 2018June 17, 2018Leave a comment

I first posted to Instagram on the 17h of February 2013. It was a photo of three pairs of shoes that I no longer own. I don't remember joining. I don't remember why I joined or who suggested it. But I realized last week that I didn't like the person I had become and part … Continue reading My week without social media

Update: 5 Day Social Media fast

It's day 3 of my 5 day Social media fast. To be completely honest, I'm a little ashamed of myself. I know I am always on my phone, everyone is always on their phone, but the extent to which I wasting valuable living time I had no idea. In the morning when I wake up, … Continue reading Update: 5 Day Social Media fast

The 5 Day Experiment: Goodbye Social Media

March 19, 2018March 23, 2018Leave a comment

"Just take it one day at a time". It's such a horrid cliche. If you think about it, how else are you going to live? It's not like you can just skip Thursday or do Wednesday and Friday at the same time. What does that even mean? I'm sure it has some ancient meaning of … Continue reading The 5 Day Experiment: Goodbye Social Media

Making friends with a pull buoy

March 4, 2018June 17, 2018Leave a comment

Dear Pull buoy, We need to talk. I'm sure this isn't coming as a surprise to you. It's not you, it's me. From the moment my osteopath introduced us, I knew friendship was not in our future. I admit, I judged you from the beginning. I'm not proud of it, but I think I need … Continue reading Making friends with a pull buoy

Taper traditions! Tarawera themed nails and donuts! Pretty ferns, the All Blacks and some little white trail love! So cute! Trust the training! Ultra marathon running explained…. 15 days until my first 100 miler, actually it’s 165km but who’s counting! 18 days until Tarawera, 20k run today, some with the pups and some on my own. Shit is getting real. Had a go at the 28k at Two Bays for the first time today, didn’t really have the best time with over 1300 people crammed onto a single track. Struggled to get any sort of rhythm or consistency going with all the Congo lines, bottle necks and over taking, but it was good to see so many people out and about and to put another long ish run in the bank before New Zealand. Like everyone else I’ve been looking at the calendar and looking at what goals I have for 2023, what holidays I want to take, races I want to do, but I’m still kinda getting over the glamour of the last one! Happy New Year! You know I spent way too much time playing with this!
