It’s so strange coming back from an adventure of a lifetime and then having to get back to “life as usual”! What is “usual” or “normal” anyway? So the marathon is done! Where to from here? You may remember me saying that crossing that finishing line in the Marathon de Paris was going to mark […]
I made it….well, sort of! Yes, I actually got to the finish line of the Marathon de Paris…it was in a round about, crazy sort of way though, which I will explain. The important thing however, is that I got my medal and I’m happy with what I achieved 🙂
Today, I’m in recovery mode after a long 32kms walk around the Bay Run in Five Dock, Sydney. It was a glorious day, but 6 hours in the sun finally took its toll, and I ended up sleeping from 4pm in the afternoon until 9.30am this morning! The only enticement to get out of bed […]
‘Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.’ Aristotle. Happiness means different things to different people.

There have been many a “January” I’ve started the new year committed to exercising more. But never have I had to contend with grave consequences if I didn’t keep it up. This year however, I’m participating in the Marathon de Paris in April. YEP, I’M RUNNING A MARATHON….AAARRGH!!! I have no choice but to keep […]
Hello 2012! It’s at the beginning of each new year, that most people start making lists of all the things they want to change in their life. Lose weight, save more money, be nicer, smile more, and so on. But if all we think about is changing ourselves and making new year’s resolutions, we’re in […]
“You must live the life you were born to live” – the Reverend Mother, Sound of Music I love the Sound of Music. It brings back great childhood memories, sitting with my Mum and Dad and some of my siblings, entertained for hours by this feel-good family movie. So many things inspire me to live […]
