About

Running has not always been my favourite of sports, but since leaving university it is certainly the easiest to maintain.  I was convinced into doing a half marathon a few years ago, and have since done a dozen more including the Disney Princess Marathon in Orlando (It's awesome if you ever get the chance) .  I love the races, all the support and festivities, I just don't enjoy the training part so much! 

For the 2014 year my husband and his brother have signed up for the Comrades marathon (89.9km) so I agreed to go along with the training runs just for some fitness and exercise.  At least that way I have some company on the road, hopefully shed a few of those "first year of marriage" kgs and getting some better times at the races!  

Together with the new fitness regime, even though we eat relatively healthy at the moment, some changes need to be made.  I am no dietitian and like recipes rather than improvisation, so there will need to be some research for meal plans that are both enjoyable, help with training and still include the odd red meat and wine cheat.

That's where this blog comes in...  
As a running log it at least makes me somewhat accountable and a little less likely to roll over and snooze the 5am running alarm.  And also be a log of my own notes about what does and doesn't work for different individuals, lessons learnt along the way and dinners to keep in the monthly menu.

Any tips, tricks, treats you have are very welcome, so please do leave comments or drop an e-mail.
