The wind beneath my tyres – a change of gears!
Stay calm and pedal on. I lycra your wheels. Life behind bars. The fun continues on in this post from a special guest.

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 …

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 …

Contemplation – Week 6: six things worth saving

Stepping out – a suburban surprise
I'm a long way from home in a different state, a different time zone, a different climate and a different role. My youngest daughter needed looking after so I decided I'd go and take care of her for the week. This involved a week off work, a three hour drive interstate to the airport, a …

Lights, camera….but no action
No entry! Danger!! Authorised personnel only. So say the signs as I approach my usual tracks in the forest for my afternoon walk. Change of plans with my safety as the main issue! I'm amazed at how much extra light there is already with just a day or two of harvesting action. The tree munchers must …

This girl still can’t run!
A few short months ago I was running well - I was enjoying the fitness benefits, my body responded to the challenges I set it and the feeling of having the wind through my hair as I ran was intoxicating and liberating. I was running 5km a few times a week while trying to improve …

Disaster has struck my running regime!
Oh no! Oh yes! Disaster indeed 😦 My right calf had been sore for a few days and when I went out for my morning run on Thursday I just couldn't get going and ended up limping home. I tried to stretch and this helped for a while but it just continued aching. I'm not …

Running and blogging over the age of 50 – a rare combination?
I recently found this very interesting site, Run Young 50, which talks about women from all over the world, who are over 50 and who also blog about running. My blogging (and running) friend Annie at Unsporty Women Can Run was featured on this list and I am thrilled to say that I'm now featured on it as …

Feeling inspired and supported as a runner
I think that I have been in a running 'rut' for a little while now. It's been cold, dark, miserable, I've been sick, I've been away on holidays - there's lots of reasons (excuses) why I haven't been getting out there and just doing it. I have been feeling a bit lonely too if I'm …

Weekly photo challenge: On a scale of 1 to 10
On a scale of 1 to 10 - This morning I was running hill sprints and decided to put a stone down for each time I did a run up the hill and a walk back down, as I often lose count when I'm training (too many things to concentrate on) and decided this could be …
