Week 18 - More metres, more achievements 102640m for Anita this week, 107040m for me.

Well, this has been quite a week of milestones, that's for sure. Following a 10 Km row on Monday morning, and a 10 Km run in the afternoon, I had just 10 Km remaining in order to complete my first challenge of 2100 Kms in 105 days. Tuesday morning arrived, and as normal, I made my way to the gym on what was a cold, but dry six am. With so much distance behind me, I just wanted to finish so it w… Read full post

Sunday evening has arrived all too soon this week. My anticipations not realised, my goals not achieved. In fact, I honestly feel the sands of time are truly running away from me, but not without a fight. So, just what can I do about this feeling of under achievement? Simple, try harder I guess.

Estimates say we have had in … Read full post
