75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
For a long time I ran but I didn't usually love it. The odd time it was alright but mostly it was just really a really efficient way to keep fit. Then I started running further and I fell in love. Maybe it was more complicated than that or maybe it wasn't. At some point... Continue Reading →
We’re a shifty, shady bunch ya’ll. We are pretty much constantly lying about our runs, running and what it means to be a runner.

So one of the things I do is write training plans for #regularpeople. It started when I wanted to tackle my first triathlon and I went looking for a plan and I could only find the super crazy type for people that are at the elite level of training and the part time level of... Continue Reading →
This race has been on my radar for a few years now but I’ve been busy with other things. Honestly I love a good campy experience no matter how it happens. I also love a good costume and a reason to dress up as a grown up. Check and check. Truthfully it’s far from home,... Continue Reading →
I’m a very average now and I’m damn proud of that. It didn’t happen overnight in fact it took about three years of getting really serious, staying dedicated and lots of determination to be this average for me. But to be fair I’ve been well and truly average for over a year now and I’m... Continue Reading →
Have you lost track of my training because I have. One would have to say that peak week pretty much didn’t happen but then again it sort of did… Anyway here’s a quick recap of getting here. I was on track until week 8 when I got married. Previous to that I was extending my... Continue Reading →
