As some of you know by now, I’m registered for the 20km race of the Simpson Desert Ultra in June. I’m part of a team headed up by Plus Size Adventurer Cath Wallis. Thanks Cath!

Fat Girl Swimming …
First swim of the year down at Cudgeon Creek this afternoon. And despite a little sunburn (what was I thinking not putting on sunscreen!?!?!?), I continue to be amazed at just how I’ve learned to give-n0-fcks about going into the water. Continue reading Fat Girl Swimming …
#CountDownTo50 .. Only 12 months to go

Rest isn’t a waste / weekend 1 / 52

Perhaps I’m in the middle of a mid-life crisis where I feel like I don’t want to waste a moment. (Is this why I’m becoming movement obsessed?)

Farewell 2017, hello 2018

I joined Brisbane Deadly Runners and competed in my very first FunRun – something that I’d flagged well before I ever knew Deadly Runners existed. Continue reading Farewell 2017, hello 2018
