Something little to write about…

Monday, March 20th, 2017

Hooray! I am back into the swing of exercising. I think. After a week and a half off I have been itching to get back into cycling and after buying my first pair of practical, swimming togs, I’ve also been eager to get into the pool. Ok, so I should probably be a little more […]

Not the best of weeks

Sunday, March 5th, 2017

So after a real motivating week last week, this week has been anything but.  Monday was my birthday, another year gone and a new one about to begin, I was ready, come Tuesday, to get back into it and the alarm was set.  Unfortunately though, I didn’t get much further and with a splitting headache […]

The Pathway to GODZone Pure

Sunday, March 5th, 2017

With only 6 weeks to go until GODZone I am getting nervous. The training is still needed, gear and nutrition sorting. So far the build-up has been fun and exciting. I love adventures so I decided that was what I wanted to do for training this summer and that is definitely what I got. It’s […]

Ups and Downs and Upside downs!

Monday, November 14th, 2016

Yikes, so much has happened over the last few weeks/month so this could be lengthy.  Firstly I got to do my first run with my sister which was a very cool event and was stoked to share this memory with her.  The run was the 10km crater rim, essentially up and back down Rapaki.  I […]
