UPDATE! 25 Oct 2010

It is with great sadness that I write this update. On the 25th October 2010 my little sister sadly passed away at the age of 31. She had bravely battled MND for 11 years. She had never given up and had achieved to much even after developing MND, winning the Open University award for achievement to gaining a degree. She will be greatly missed and will for ever be in our thoughts. Love you sis :D

Well where to start, it was all originally done as I was carry to much weight and wanted to loose it. Which I am sure it most peoples story begins, however after loosing the weight I actually started to enjoy running outside. Joined some forums (BCTTT & Runners World), there inspiration and helpfullness has helped me a lot. Now I am also swimming and commuting a couple of times a week to work on my bike! Now since 2011 I accomplished more than I thought I ever would or could. From 5k runs to an Ironman in 2014 and The Outlaw in 2015. In 2016 I am going down a different route, I will be trying Ultra's as you can see from my events I have already entered 3 so far. Now I thought wait a minute I need to have one more motivation and that people is my sister Emma. Since the age of 20 she was very unfortunate and developed MND (Motor Neurone Disease), she is now 31 years of Age. Her health has deteriatated over the years and we nearly lost her last year. My mum had to give up her work and become a full time carer for my sister and my dad takes over the duties when he comes home from work. All the races I do will be in aid of my sister and all money raised will be donated to MND to help raise awareness and research in the disease. Thanks for all your help and enjoy my training blog,

Got the dreaded "Man Flu"

Well I think it has finally caught up with me. After the Xmas and New Year everyone in my household having the cold, being around people with the cold...........my body decided to give me the cold, well in my case "Man Flu". I really should not of done that cycle - Swim - Cycle on the Tuesday. Had to give training a miss yesterday and not upto do anything today aswell. Will see how I feel tomorrow and perhaps give the turbo a run out.

Did make soup last night, which I will enjoy tonight. Plus I made Chicken Tikka Masala last night which even Erin ate all of and wanted more sauce. Need to keep that recipe. If you are wondering where I am getting all these recipes from it is 220 Triathlons website, very easy and lovely recipes for lunch, dinner, snacks etc etc.

Wonder what I will do tonight feel lost as I have been unable to do anything for the last two days, looks like I will have to prepare a pork lasagne for tomorrow nights dinner. Have Kiev's for tonight.
