Breaking through the wall – Beating the post Marathon blues
It has been a while since I’ve updated the blog. I really enjoyed writing in the lead up to my marathon debut at Cadbury. I was going to write about my Singapore/Thailand Holiday but never quite got around to it (I might still do it because I have so many stories I want to share). I don’t know quite what happened but I seemed to have hit a wall after achieving 42.2km in January. It all started when I got back from holidays...
Moanin’ to MONA – Week 21 of Maratraining
I’m at the pointy end of my training. It’s getting tough. The long runs are getting very long and this week I racked up just over 61km of training. Wow! Corporate life is still busy and emotionally draining. Things will start settling down within the next couple of weeks (hopefully). True to my word I did every single km of my training program. I had moments of moaning and some of pure enjoyment. Here’s how...
New Kit, New PB – Week 20 of Maratraining

The cheesemine is going through a restructure which means heaps of change and the inevitability of people leaving because of the changes. Change is...
The Golden Ticket for an Epic Run
A few months ago I won the lottery! The lottery for a place in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. I’ve been wanting to run a marathon for quite some time yet the prospect seemed so daunting that I never quite mustered up the courage to commit. Well that has changed. I’ve paid my money, I’m registered, I’m doing this. I’m not actually running it until October 2016 but for...
2012 – A retrospective
I’ll preface this post by saying that it’s New Year’s Eve and I’ve already had 1/2 a bottle of champagne. No, it is actually Tasmanian sparkling wine. Had to say that in case the French wine police are reading this! New Year’s Eve is that special night of the year where you celebrate the successes of the year and drown the sorrows of the year all while making plans and resolutions for the shiny new year...
