So hot stuff eh?! Funnily enough I have a massive urge for a run today. Like totes massive, but I can't because I will die. We have some unreasonably hot weather at the moment. I think I read that it's around 11 degrees hotter than usual. The long and short of it is that it's … Continue reading Fark it’s hot!
Running
So I just ran 30km….
You might have read my last blog post about having to run 30km this morning. You can find it Here. I wasn't very well trained because... life. And I've been sick for a few days too so was a bit apprehensive that I might collapse and be carted off in the flashing bus. Oh the shame!!! … Continue reading So I just ran 30km….
Quinoa and swag wagons….
I'm still in my pyjamas and it is 4.40pm. I know you are congratulating me. Thank you! I have in fact been a little bit sick and had the mother of all headaches today. I had to take myself off to bed again at 10.30 this morning and go back to sleep for 3 hours. … Continue reading Quinoa and swag wagons….
Suns out… running into the heat
Queensland suddenly decided to get hot. Like in the space of 24 hours, it was like SHAZAM! I was getting comfortable running through the winter, it's a bit cooler and you don't have to get up so early then suddenly 24 hours changes your timetable. I am lazy about getting up at 5 to run. … Continue reading Suns out… running into the heat
Magpies. They hate us….
So recently I've been thinking about magpies. It's the season for it. They hate us. I wasn't thinking about it too much before the Doc started telling me about all kinds of nasty injuries from magpies, like gouging out eyes and suchlike. I was like NO!!!! Really? Omg! Those little fuckers can do some damage. … Continue reading Magpies. They hate us….
Post race mojo feels….
So you sign up for a race, do your training sessions, tick them off, post your runs, go do the race and leave your mojo behind in km 20. It's a thing. Yup. I've found this after every race I've done. For 3 weeks or so after I'm a bit mojoless. You know, I'm recovering, … Continue reading Post race mojo feels….
2nd Half Marathon done!
So yesterday I completed my second half marathon. I thought I would be like totes cooler about it this time. Nahhhhhhh, I had the same nerves and inability to hold a conversation for most of the day! I also had a bit of hamstring soreness from some deadlifts a couple of days earlier at HPF … Continue reading 2nd Half Marathon done!
Long run stuff……
So today I had to do my last long run before my next half marathon which is in 11 days time. Last time I did a half I was totally OCD about my training schedule. Every run was to the exact distance with Hal Higdon whispering encouragement in my ear hole every so often. This … Continue reading Long run stuff……
Peachy bottomed girls ❤️
I've got this friend who began running a few months ago. She went from nothing to 5k and I think she has even done 8 or 10k. I've really loved this journey because it reminds me of mine. I whooped at all the victories, nodded a lot at all the feels, admired the new shoes … Continue reading Peachy bottomed girls ❤️
Steps. It’s worth moving more..
I've got this new Garmin 235. I'm pretty excited about it as I've wanted to upgrade for a while. The Doc had already upgraded due to her old one not being very accurate on mileage. Before this I was perfectly happy with mine but then I saw all the cool stuff the new one does … Continue reading Steps. It’s worth moving more..
Mojo Revival….
I think I shared with you a couple of weeks ago about losing my mojo a bit fitness wise. It wasn't major but it was like 2 runs instead of 3 a week. I was still hitting the gym but I was feeling a bit blurrghhhh. I think it happens to the best of us. … Continue reading Mojo Revival….
Old skool running stuff….
Recently some people have liked a photo that I put up on Facebook on the 2nd October 2014. I had just run for 20 mins non stop. I was doing a couch to 5 k app and this was probably the lightbulb Inspo moment of my little running journey. I remember there was a big … Continue reading Old skool running stuff….
Speed doesn’t really matter….
So I've got a few mates recently who have started the running thang. Interestingly we all seem to be a bit the same when we start running in terms of worrying about speed. We spark up our Garmins and analyse every run. Then we say 'Ummmmm yea I'm pretty slow'. Fuck that shit! I mean … Continue reading Speed doesn’t really matter….
Half Marathon Training
As a lot of you know I'm off to run my first half marathon next week. The last 3 weeks of half marathon training is possibly the shitiest place you can be. Chuck in crossfit sessions, work and life and you're about as tired as you're going to get. Unless it's marathon training. Then you … Continue reading Half Marathon Training
