Its been five weeks since I injured my leg. Last week I was finally able to get a few short runs in without too much pain, although the leg certainly wasn’t 100%. Then on saturday something went wrong with my other leg. Without boring you all with the details I …
I have had the best school holidays. Next Tuesday when the kids go back is coming around very quickly and I’m already dreading it. This wasn’t always the case. I used to hate school holidays and couldn’t wait for my kids to go back to school so I could have …
I’ve injured my leg pretty badly. I did it a couple of weeks ago but didn’t want to write about it because that would be like admitting to myself that my Sydney Marathon hopes are in jeopardy. But after my third physio visit today it’s now official – my Sydney …
Just because I am a runner and take my training pretty seriously doesn’t mean I necessarily devote the same amount of effort and dedication to my diet. It’s not something I’m proud of but unfortunately it’s true. My past Nutella addiction is well documented throughout my blog and although I …
Today marks the twelfth anniversary of our twins births and deaths. Each year since my blog has been around I write something on Ella and Jasmine’s anniversary to mark the occasion. It’s not a grab for sympathy or attention, but my way of highlighting a very special cause and hopefully …
Yep I can’t believe it either. In a few weeks it will be a year since we left London. Beautiful, lovely, amazing, London. My happy place. Then there is Sydney. Eleven months ago I’d have called it things I won’t repeat but I’ve since made peace with my hometown and …
It’s been seven weeks since the London Marathon. I’m already into week two of training for the Sydney Marathon in september and I’m not really sure how I feel about doing it all again. The weeks between training plans have been lovingly filled with nice gentle easy runs instead of …
I’m not going to be able to write a new post today given the sickness at my place today .. so i’m going to rehash an oldie… Hopefully I’ll be back to continue my 30/30 blog posts on saturday when the gastro has subsided .. THE CHICKENGATE SCANDAL
The bomit is back. Tomorrow it will be two weeks since Spewfest 2014 began and I am slightly sick and bloody tired of it. I don’t even feel sorry for my kids anymore, that has passed and I am just RUINED (please see my contact details for where to send …
I hardly slept a wink last night. I lay awake worrying about today’s post about my weight loss and fitness journey. I needn’t have worried. The response we had today was wonderful. So encouraging, so positive and so heartwarming. Why was I worried? Nobody wants to be judged and I …
2011 was one of the worst years of my life. I’ve had two years in my life that stand out for me as the absolute worst. One of them marred by tragedy, one of them due to my own self loathing. I had my fourth child in 2011 and fell …
I’m over at Operation Move today talking about my weight loss and fitness journey .. (follow the link) It all started with two lamp posts …..
Tomorrow an article is being posted on the wonderful fitness website I’m involved with about me and my former life. My former life when I was fat. There will be photos of me … and they will be on the internet forever. But you know what? Even though I’m a little …
Yesterday I ran the Sydney Morning Herald half marathon. I am very pleased to report that I wasn’t beaten by anybody dressed as a mustard bottle, nobody dressed in a dog costume, Darth Vadar or anyone wearing a mankini. The only costume worth noting was someone wearing Speedo’s and a …
Because my social life is obviously so full and busy, I spent Friday night cleaning out my shoe cupboard. I know. Wild. I really should cut back on the excitement. Rob was out late for work which was the perfect time to undertake such a task, there is no need …
