This week it feels like I am racing towards the 12th March and I am very happy to report that our week of high mileage, aka, “riding like a pro” was possibly the best week of training that I have achieved in a very long time. I managed to complete 550km, which is probably a […]

There is no wagon
As we are nearing the end of January, I decided it would be a good idea to write an update about my New Year’s resolutions – or goals. I’ve been working hard to ensure the changes that I’m making are long term and sustainable. Life may throw us various curve balls and we may not […]
Telling a story

I was surprised to see on my Facebook newsfeed that today was “International No Diet Day” and it got me reflecting on dieting, health and fitness blogging and the potentially harmful side effects that following health and fitness or wellness bloggers that could occur. I’ve been pondering why the likes of Belle Gibson and Jess […]
