Follow along as I swim, bike, run, eat, work and enjoy life - my own thoughts as well as guest posts. I regularly write about my training, physical therapy, races, lessons I have learned, charity fundraising, cooking, and random musings.

  1. Racing as a Physically Challenged Athlete

    When I registered for the Egg Hunt triathlon, I noticed that for the first time they had a PC division - for the physically challenged.  I contacted the origanisers and made sure that my name was put against this category.  On Saturday March 30th, rather than my age on my calf, I had the letters “PC”.

    You may recall back in May 2012 at the USA more…

  2. My 2013 Egg Hunt Triathlon

    On Saturday March 30th I did the Egg Hunt Triathlon, in Pembroke Pines Florida.  I did it, despite the huge sigh my sports doctor let out when I told him that I was going to race at the end of March.  You see, I hadn’t run 5k since January 1st, when my new year’s run around the park triggered my knee to blow up.  I had just started to rebuild and more…

    Hot on the heels of the New York Times article on the Mediterranean diet which reported the findings more…

  6. #BestFoot Week 2: Training in Review

    One thing is becoming clear to me as I move from off-season to early season training - I am probably the most consistent I have ever been.  I can’t recall a time when I trained through the winter, making sure to hit the gym SO REGULARLY - and I can’t remember looking forward to trainng as much as I am at the moment.  Maybe I have finally hit the more…
