It’s Oscar day which if I were in the States I would care about a lot more than I do from Australia. For starters, I’m at work, which doesn’t exactly lend itself to watching a 3 hour awards show or even the 2 hours of red carpet interviews leading up…

So I’m done with my first week of detoxing, and to be honest I haven’t done that badly. Only three glasses of wine (I’m allowed four) and pretty much no wheat or cow’s milk consumed by yours truly which is pretty good. I’ve been exercising and feeling really good, I’ve…

Continue reading →: And he’s done!
He’s finished the race despite some pretty bad cramps. It may not have been the time he wanted but he’s dine it! I’m really proud of him but I guess I have to work on my Candy now. I can’t let the team down!!!

Continue reading →: Spoiler Alert!
Spoiler alert: The Runner is running! He’s just started the 20km run and looks pretty good and strong, which means he survived the bike! Hooray! The scariest part of the day (for me at least) is done! He hasn’t crashed his bike or gone flying off over the handlebars. What…

It’s race day in Husky– right about now The Runner is treading water in anticipation of the starters gun. Drinks have been measured, (non-alcoholic so far, he still has a whole race to get through!), gels have been glued, carbs have been loaded (thanks to a brown rice and chicken…

Continue reading →: A Tri Festival???
The question of the day or at least the car ride: Is a triathlon a festival? No points for guessing which side The Runner argued and which side I argued. Some background required. This weekend is the Huskisson Triathlon Festival, down in Huskisson (Jervis Bay). It’s a whole weekend of…

Continue reading →: Lent/detox
You may remember a few months ago I basically gave up everything fun and good and went on a six week detox…. Well I’m going to do it again- with some slight modifications. Why? Why would I put myself through thatagain? Well, because I felt really good while I was…

Continue reading →: What (or who) is your nemesis?
The Runner has one. I have one. Superman has one. I’m sure everyone has one. And that’s a nemesis. In Greek Mythology, Nemesis was the Goddess of Revenge, she’s the one that brings “sorrow to mortals” (according to Wikipedia which doesn’t lie). Nemesis also believed that “no one should ever…

We’re celebrating The Runner’s 33rd birthday this weekend! In true style, he’s biking 150 kilometers this morning before his birthday drinks this afternoon. We had dinner at Universal on Thursday night– my advice, go for dessert! Skip the overpriced, undersized entree/mains and go straight for the dessert. I had the…
