Runners of today have become OBSESSED with Technology, Gadgets & Gizmos. We have to know everything about our run. And so forth. I mean does this look familiar? I won’t lie, I have been guilty of this. However, I’ve learned now not to obsess about all my stats. So how do you run without the

August is over, so let’s sit down and check in with the Ultimate Coffee Date! If we were sitting down for coffee, I would tell you that I’m so glad that winter is over. It has been a very cold winter here. Sure we don’t get snow, but we do get Southerly Antarctic winds. Brr, just

Winter is officially over for us here in Australia. Woot! I’m so happy that days are getting longer and slightly warmer. On sunny days I’ve been eating my lunch outside, and the sun is just so glorious. You don’t realise how much you miss it until it comes back. I have decided to move away
