My body is strong and it got me through my ironman training and Ironman Vichy. It has also gotten me to the ripe old age of 43! We’ve had a few injuries, well more than a few but it still keeps going. It also has asthma and a heart condition but still keeps going. ItContinue reading “My body…”

4 weeks on…
It’s been 4 weeks since Ironman Vichy – the post Ironman blue are slowly subsiding. Matt and my friends have been extremely supportive – thank you. I look back at the day with great memories but I still don’t feel like a completed an Ironman. I have been spending the last few weeks to reallyContinue reading “4 weeks on…”
Just swimming…
Swimming…. you either love or hate it… you either feel the water or you don’t…. I love swimming and would say that I am a good swimmer – not great, but good. I took swimming up after a running injury. I wasn’t good but I wasn’t that bad. Like most things, you have to putContinue reading “Just swimming…”
A nice break but it’s now time to joosh things up…
A break is what we needed and we found a perfect little hideaway this weekend. Four days away with Matt in a little wood cabin in woodland with a hot tub, some lovely food and champagne. Percy came too and we just walked, chilled, talked, played Scrabble and Jenga. We both needed some time out,Continue reading “A nice break but it’s now time to joosh things up…”
It’s the simple things…
This year has been a busy one, both physically and mentally. So, we’re taking time out this weekend. Percy has come along too. Percy is my little buddy. He’s a lovely little dog. Meet Percy. The weekend will be spent walking in woodland, drinking cups of tea, eating cake, relaxing and just having plenty ofContinue reading “It’s the simple things…”
It’s been a swinging kind of year…
Just over a year ago, I qualified as a Personal Trainer. It was the best thing I ever did. I followed my dream. I get to share my passion for fitness and wellbeing daily. My main area of expertise are Kettlebells – I have taken a masterclass in Kettlebells – I know my stuff! Continue reading “It’s been a swinging kind of year…”
Is there more to life than swim, bike & run….?
I have a very supportive partner in Matt. Matt has a great family around him, many of whom I have met as they live locally. I have been welcomed into his family with open arms. I don’t have that family unit. I don’t think I ever really did. My dad lives in Malta andContinue reading “Is there more to life than swim, bike & run….?”
Self-esteem … on a low
It might be that I have the Ironman blues but I really don’t like myself right now. I hate the way I look. I hate the person that I have become. I want the old me back – the happy V. I look at others and think how beautiful they are and how happy theyContinue reading “Self-esteem … on a low”
Looking after my body and mind…
It’s been 9 days since I completed Ironman Vichy and my body is craving goodness – something it really didn’t look for during training. I would eat well and plentiful but wouldn’t say no to cake, pudding, biscuits with tea – I would say I was 80% good – 20% bad. However, since completing theContinue reading “Looking after my body and mind…”
