2016 Chicago Marathon – My City, My Run
Over a month has passed since I’ve run the 2016 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. If I’m honest I’ve kind of been dreading writing this post because it brings a certain closure to this amazing experience. I’m still on a high from my run around my beautiful hometown and I don’t want to let that feeling go. The event was like nothing I’d ever experienced in my life and I cannot wait for the chance...
Cadbury Marathon Race Day – The end of my Marajourney
I’m writing this blog from seat 39B on a Jestar flight from Melbourne to Singapore. I had intended to write this last night to stick to my usual blogging routine but I had to pack, tidy the house and relax a bit after the big day.

Race Day Eve Special Edition – week 27 of maratraining

Gettin’ it done – Week 24 of Maratraining
These final weeks of training seem to be racing by! I honestly don’t know where the week went. This week saw the final easy 60’s and from next week I’m dropping down to 4 days a week of running…how am I going to cope? Corporate life has been good. It was a week of celebration and last minute flurries of activity as most of my team is off on Christmas break as of Friday. I’m there Monday, Tuesday and...
P2P – Week 19 of Maratraining
Well folks, 19 weeks in! The big race is getting close (55 days away) and I’m starting to get a touch of the nerves and the niggles of doubt. My mantra right now is “stick to the plan, you’re doing the kms – you’ve got this!”. It’s working for now…. This week was all about the carb-loading and maintaining my training in the lead up to Sunday’s Point to Pinnacle. I do love my...
