10.01.2022 My run today was probably the most important training session Ive done to date in my current training program, however not for any of the normal physical milestones that we commonly focus on. I didnt break any records in my speed or distance, it wasnt even classified as a key training session of any kind as this was already completed yesterday as part of a scheduled lighter active recovery week. The reason this was so important was mainly because for many reasons my motiva...tion wasnt there & I simply didnt want to do it. So the key training progress was being able to overcome the mental battle with myself. This week has not been a great week mentally or physically, Ive been stressed out about some personal stuff, not getting enough sleep, battling with niggles and a minor foot injury, and a year ago this would have been enough to stop me doing anything today when I felt this low. Yet today I knew that heading out regardless would be the difference between shaping the next 3 months of consistent training versus dwindling away my progress. Finally when I found my sports watch was flat, when I would previously have definitely not gone without it, I decided to run free without it, a session away from later analysing split times, average speeds, and heart rate zones. Going on feel and an estimated speed and distance. This was exactly what I needed. The key was learning how to go forward even on the low days. Tonight calls for some extra self care, a snuggle and down time with the girls, and an early night. Sometimes the biggest focus needs to be the mental over the physical. #mentaltraining #whenmotivationfails #mymindfulness #progressnotperfection #getitdone #swimbikerun #itallcounts #sentientmind See more

04.01.2022 My friend Joe Brooks is an ambassador for Beyond Blue & an awesome fellow advocate for improving mental health awareness. The first conversation is often the hardest. Thank you for this post Joe, so important to share this message.

03.01.2022 As the end of 2019 & current decade draws to a close, I was lucky enough to spend some of its final afternoon running alongside the water, giving myself some v...aluable solo time to reflect on what has been and what may be yet to come. The start of 2020 also signifies the end of my 30s, the end of a chapter of my life that has given me the roller coaster of lifes experiences that I have needed in order to really get to know who I really am, to grow up, & to learn many important lessons that now help move me further towards living a life that truly reflects my values, my spirit, and enables me to one day leave a more positive imprint on the little piece of the earth that I inhabit & on the people around me that I encounter. My 30s have given me so many life changing moments, some harsh lessons, and naturally both heartbreak & joy. So many memories to think about so that today I can embrace them all with celebration, with some elation, sometimes relief, & the strongest sense of peace and positivity about the future than ever before. Sure I endured heartbreak & darkness, yet from that I learnt how to live alone and truly value myself, gaining an independence and confidence Id never had before. I travelled & found the wonder and magic of Africa, finding a sense of belonging & comfort amongst the wildlife and people of the savannah plains of the Serengeti & Masai Mara. Places so beautiful that I named my 2nd daughter in their honour. It also taught me about the fragility of life and not to take for granted every day that you have to be alive, having been lucky enough to walk away from my own moment of life/death, held up at gunpoint in the crazy town of Nairobi. This decade allowed me some fitness and health in the earlier years, showing me that I have the physical strength and mental stamina to train for and complete something like a marathon. Yet, it later also taught me lessons about physical hardship, in the form of severe illnesses in both my successful pregnancies, in and out of hospital suffering with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), as well as multiple miscarriages, pneumonia & sickness when under stress, & rheumatoid arthritis causing chronic pain that would eventually force me away from full time podiatry work for good. I also found the fire and passion in my soul for where I ultimately see myself helping others the most, leading me to finish an honours degree in psychology, study counselling, & to embark on work in counselling, educating, and supporting others in many facets of their emotional & mental health well-being. Plenty more still to come. I grieved the losses of a few loved ones along the way. The biggest impact came from the loss of my mum to cancer in 2018, rocking me to my core and triggering me to finally acknowledge and seek professional help for an ongoing battle with my mental health, to address the pain from the past, and to reluctantly tackle a long term struggle with my Binge Eating Disorder. 2019 in particular has been a confronting and difficult year in this domain as Ive needed to not give up on the necessary hard work required on improving my emotional & psychological health. Facing fears and painful memories, looking inwards instead of outwards, withdrawing when necessary, fighting for myself like never before. I can say without a doubt that it has definitely been worth every tough moment as I start to feel myself emerge from a seemingly endless dark tunnel, genuinely feeling a newfound freedom to be me, to allow myself to be who I am, and step into a brighter and happier sense of self. Today I shed tears of happiness as I ran along, lost in my thoughts as I thanked this decade for giving me the chance to meet the love of my life, the man that would both challenge me and cheer for me, bring out the best & worst in me, allow me to be myself, to grow and go through the hard stuff, to love me fiercely and unconditionally. I am so very blessed and love my husband with every single fibre of my soul. Finally, the gift of motherhood. Im so blessed to have my 2 beautiful little girls that I get to hear call me mum every day. This is by far the shining star and ultimate highlight of my thirties that at times I never ever dreamed would be possible for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this amazing ride of lifes experiences that have taken me to the start line of this new year. I have so much gratitude for all that I have, so much to be thankful for. Bring on 2020, the best may just be yet to come... #newdecade #newyear #soblessed #happiness #dreambig #grateful #bringontheforties #lifelessons #happyhuman #myhappyplace #nye #philosophical #runningreflection

01.01.2022 Fair to say that our 16-year-old cat Lucy is currently the least impressed with stay at home isolation out of the family... Apparently helping the cat be comfortable enough to have a nap by stuffing a dolls pillow under her face and putting on a blanket wherever she moves to is a great option for the girls. Side note: yes My 4 year old was also watching tv upside down. Update: it ended up actually working (see last pic!) #stayhome #toddlermania #stillunpacking #newhomemess #grumpycatcopingwell @ Port Melbourne, Victoria
