An amazing event was held in Tumbarumba over the weekend and this is my take on it. Spoiler alert: No I'm not running a marathon anytime soon. #wakeupandbeamazingitswednesday

Running with the Black Cockatoos
You've heard of running with the bulls, well today I went running with the black cockatoos! In Australia black cockatoos indicate rain is on the way but there was hardly a cloud in the sky and it was a very warm 27 degrees celsius at 6pm. It felt so good to be back out there …

I CAN do this!
Running has been a part of my life for quite a while now. I've written quite a few posts about it over the years and here comes another one!! I'm not fast, I'm not stylish, I tend to run a bit heavy, I'm sometimes happy when it's over and I'm no longer what you'd …

Worth a Word Wednesday: the tracks of my life
Wordless Wednesday - winter and the tracks of my life No more 'jealousy/wish you were here' shots of beaches from me for the moment, I'm back home into full-on winter mode - it's wet, grey, cold and just a tad miserable outside. These tracks are throughout the forest at the rear of our property and over …

Last tree standing!
This tree is definitely the last man standing. What do you think? I was actually trying to get the tree lined up with the tower on the hill behind but in the end I just loved the look of the poor lonely tree left amid the rubble of the harvested forest. (I do seem to …

Remind me again why am I doing this?
Remind me again why I'm doing this? Running I mean! I haven't written a post about just running since July last year but I have been running, on and off, in the meantime. The months after July were wet, miserable and cold. I was also suffering from looking down the barrel of redundancy but …

Blog of the Day: Deb’s World
Great to read Suzie’s comments about my blog in her Blog of the Day post! She has managed to sum up my blog in just a few paragraphs and I appreciate her support and encouragement:
I love everything about Debbie’s blog – the layout, the photographs, the topics… there is so much that I can personally relate to and I love her honesty and openness about her life experiences and things that she enjoys. In particular, I’m very jealous of the images that she shares of the places that she has seen – I’ve certainly added a few places to my bucket list because of her post.
And yet, for someone so talented, she is incredibly modest and a lovely person – she’s been an integral part of my Facebook group since it began and her comments and support of others have been instrumental in it’s growth.
Thanks again Suzie 🙂
Meet Debbie, the creator of Deb’s World.
As a lifestyle blogger, she has one of the most interesting ‘About Me’ pages that I’ve ever seen. Here’s just a small selection…
I am Debbie – I am a wife; mother; daughter; sister; friend; blogger; reader; runner; walker; cyclist; Rail Trail enthusiast; traveller; Rotarian; Whovian; teacher.
And now I’m a retiree!! Very early retirement!
I have three beautiful daughters who are all grown up and making their own way in the big wide world. I like to write about my family…
I am into keeping healthy and have learnt how to run again. I feel fantastic as a result of my efforts and I sometimes blog about my running journey.

Share Your World – February 6 2017
It's time again for Cee's Share Your World. It's a great way to join with other bloggers to share our worlds. This week's questions are: Regarding your fridge, is it organized or a mess inside? Usually a bit of a mess if I'm honest! It's begging to be organised though. The outside of my fridge has a …

Fallen
My walk today was more like an Olympic obstacle event. I was entered into the steeplechase, hurdles, running and the walking events. Not quite a pentathlon. We have had so much rain lately that everywhere I walked there were trees down across the tracks and muddy puddles to negotiate. I had to problem solve every few …

Run Melbourne 2016
Well I did it! Despite my dire prediction in my Run Melbourne post a few weeks ago, I actually ran in this 5km event! I don't know how I did it but I ran, I walked, I felt good, I ran some more and I really enjoyed myself. I had hardly walked , let alone run, for …

Shock and grief – two years on
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die I wrote this piece two years ago but it is still so relevant that I can't think of any reason to change a thing. We all miss Cliff and there are still times I forget that he's not here anymore. One thing I …
