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

March 20, 2018March 23, 2018Leave a comment

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

Tarawera Miler Training Diary-Week 8- Ouch and Oops

January 15, 2018June 17, 2018Leave a comment

There is nothing worse than someone telling you “I told you so”. It’s infuriating, frustrating and generally speaking quite annoying and a little patronizing.   So two weeks ago when things started to fall off the wagon and I felt tired and a little run down, I chalked it up to what it feels like … Continue reading Tarawera Miler Training Diary-Week 8- Ouch and Oops

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

The beginning… one doco at a time

April 17, 2017April 17, 2017Leave a comment

How often do you read that technology is ruining humanity? Seriously, from kids not being social to technology making us fat the list of ailments you can blame technology on if you want to is endless. Just type in “technology makes us… “ into Google and see what comes up. If you’d asked me yesterday … Continue reading The beginning… one doco at a time

Serious business this trail running! Macedon Ranges Walking track today, no clue where I was going! This shit is probably why I fall over so much. GPS was dodgy, snacks were on point. If we want to keep running mate, apparently we have to do the weights too! 😳😬😩 Weekend fun at warby! Add it to your bucket list for next year! Adding to the collection today with a solid 27k at Warby trail fest! Always a great event, probably the most running I’ve done in a while at a trail run, and super fun to run with Morgs and Megs, although they probably wished they had brought earplugs! 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, for 12 years! Because it didn’t happen if it’s not on Strava, instagram,  the go pro and all the things! Injury update: I have a lazy arse! Behind the scenes of a trail running trip to New Zealand! It’s all fun and games until you have to get your gear back through quarantine! Not gunna lie, looking forward to coming home at the end of the week, but it would be rude to not keep getting out when the trails look like this
