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,

Another Brick on the Wall

No not pink floyd, but a day of a small run with a turbo. Decided to break the day up and do the turbo in evening after Erin's parent night.

Again with the HR with the run. This seems to be the hardest thing to do even though it sounds easy. It was only a 30 min run @ L2. Run was not a problem the HR again is causing me grief. Well at least it is just practicing breathing and techniques. I should run PROUD lol.

I was silly and had my dinner before going to Erin's parents night, which she did us proud (not the running kind) and got a glowing report on how well she is doing in class. The teacher had nothing but praise for her.

Got back and it was turbo time.......

It was for just over the hour I was to do this. Warmed up and then started the main set. got about 10 mins into it and guess what happened...................yup that is when I realised that it was not a good idea to have dinner just over the hour before doing this...........oooops. No was not sick but was close to it a couple of times. Finished off the turbo, cooled down then done some stretching. Right knee is getting a bit on the sore side but seems only in the cool down that this is happening. I am going to Bridgetown to see Mike on Saturday so will see what is needed done during the bikefit.
