Many of you would have heard of the Irish tradition where women are allowed to propose on the 29th of February every 4 years. This tradition is believed to date back to the 5th Contrary when St Brigid of Kildare complained to St Patrick that women had to wait far too long for men to propose. St Patrick then decreed…
8wks to Ironman- IMWA Race Report
Today is a month since race day, and I finally feel ready to put my experience into words. My lead up to race day was filled with the same mixed emotions- nervous and yet super excited. I still cannot believe I was lucky enough to win my entry from the wonderful team at Womens Running Australia. Last December, whilst tracking…
My tips to transform your life- mind, body & soul!
Something I love about MBST is the people who reach out to me. Whether it’s to share some knowledge, to thank me for inspiring them or, as it often is, to ask for advice on how to change their life. My response to each of these people who email me about ‘how to stay motivated’ often comes down to 3…
Making 2015 even BIGGER and BETTER
It’s that time of year where everyone is talking about how they are going to be ‘better’ in 2015 and setting themselves new year’s resolutions that many will not stick to only to set the same resolution year in and year out. Here were my 2014 Goals: Have the courage to follow my dreams Apply to represent Australia in the…
The Extremes of the Endeavour 500km Relay
Well I couldn’t let my experiences of the weekend pass without trying to get at least some of them down into words to share with you. When a friend of mine, who also lives and breathes triathlon, first messaged me about whether I wanted to join his tri club for this event, I’m quite sure he knew I couldn’t say…
Finding My Mojo
So, yesterday a friend from work discovered my blog and passed comment (in a somewhat negative way) about how positive it is. Now I took no offence to this comment, I love sharing positive and uplifting messages with MBSTers, but the comment did come at an interesting time…a time when I was lacking my usual mojo. With my 2 HUGE…
What I learnt about Mastering Your Mean Girl from Melissa Ambrosini
On the weekend I attended the Utopia Women’s Wellness day in Brisbane, and was lucky enough to see some very inspiration talks by some amazing women. One that really struck a cord with me, both personally but also for my friends and followers of this page, was Melissa Ambrosini’s talk on ‘Mastering Your Mean Girl’. If you haven’t already you…
The EPICally Emotional Race- ITU World Champs Race Report
Here we go with attempt two at writing this race report after losing my effort the day after the race. For those that follow my other social media accounts, they will know that this race did not go to plan for me at all. In fact, I would say it was both the WORST and best of my life. After…
Race Report- Sunshine Coast 70.3. My first half ironman
I don’t even know where to begin with this race report. The lead up to this race started early 2013 when I decided I wanted to give a 70.3 a go, at this stage I hadn’t even completed an Olympic distance tri- but you all probably know by now I am one to dream big! After talking a good friend…
Focus on your fit! #selflove
I have been thinking alot about this blog post over the last 24 hours, and although it is a very slow and frustrating process for me to type this out at the moment with only one arm fully functional (appologies in advance for any spelling/grammar errors), it was something that I haven’t been able to get out of my mind.…
