How runners can help the Australian bush fire crisis?

January 7, 2020January 8, 2020

Australia is burning. There isn't a pretty or polite way to say it. Animals were all know, koalas, kangaroos, possums and those we don't like dunnarts and black cockatoos, are literally burning alive and the ones that survive have no where to live to and nothing to eat. I'm not interested in getting political and … Continue reading How runners can help the Australian bush fire crisis?

New Years Intentions

January 21, 2019January 21, 2019Leave a comment

It's now January 21 and I've been cracking on trying to create new habits for 21 days now. The first week of 2019, I was on holidays and when I say "on holidays" what I really mean is sleeping in and sitting at home on my butt. It was glorious. I ran heaps and explored … Continue reading New Years Intentions

New Years Resolutions. Love them or hate them, it's that time of year and I'm choosing to embrace the concept. The extent of my embrace is the subject of another post, but one of my 2019 goals is to "EXPLORE". So get ready for a bunch of 'Get out there' posts with new trails, new … Continue reading Get out there- Werribee Gorge circuit track

Tarawera Miler Training Diary- Week 6

January 6, 2018June 17, 2018Leave a comment

I know I know. Last week I said I was going to be better. Well I wasn’t. It’s now 10am Saturday, it’s going to be 43 degrees (110 F) and I’m sitting around waiting for the weather for change. Yep! I’d two coffees and a mango deep into a Grey’s Anatomy marathon. I’m sure I … Continue reading Tarawera Miler Training Diary- Week 6

What I listen to on a run

December 29, 2017June 17, 2018Leave a comment

When I talk to my non running friends about running a common theme bubbles to the surface; ‘don’t you get bored?’, ‘how do you keep going?’ I certainly didn’t wake up one morning and say to myself, ‘I’m going to run for 3 hours this morning’, it’s been a slow and gradual process over about … Continue reading What I listen to on a run

Tarawera Miler Training- Week 4

December 17, 2017June 17, 20182 Comments

Holy crap, it's been a month since I signed up for a 100 Mile race. Granted for me the word "race" is a little loose, it's more about making it to the end without using my life insurance. I'm super proud of myself for sticking with the plan for the past month. I've been a … Continue reading Tarawera Miler Training- Week 4

Oh dear- Where did my brains go?

December 16, 2017June 17, 20181 Comment

I've had one of those weeks. Who knows the cause of it? Maybe it was last week's full on week of training, or not getting enough sleep or that time of the month but I seriously feel like I'm loosing my shit. Training has been a little bit blah this week but I've save the … Continue reading Oh dear- Where did my brains go?

Veganize yo life!

November 9, 2017November 9, 2017Leave a comment

“Veganize yo life”- That’s the advice my 10 yr + vegan friend gave me. Being a beginner vegan or newly minted plant based eater is a difficult place to find yourself. On one hand you are super stoked that you have taken a positive step for your health, animals and the environment but on the … Continue reading Veganize yo life!
