2014...

Well, 2014 was certainly a hectic year for us! For those who have been following my journey, you would know most of it but for those who don’t, here is a little re-cap!The start of the year saw me deciding to defer my physiotherapy studies and have a year off to move to the Sunshine Coast. This all happened pretty quickly in the end and we were fortunate enough to find a beautiful house to house sit in Diddillibah. It was a beautiful spot and we enjoyed our time there. Tegs was able to get a job at Elenbie Hairdressers and I was able to get a job at Kunara Organic Marketplace.After this time we struggled to find a place we would love to live in and ended up in a townhouse in Buderim. Whilst this was ok, we very quickly got over it and our jobs also began to not be as enjoyable. So, as a family we decided to move back to Bundaberg. There were a number of reasons for this, some being the cost of living, travel times, wanting the girls in a nice school and wanting to be closer to the beach and the lifestyle that has to offer. We were both able to get our old jobs back also which was amazing!We subsequently moved back to Bundy and lived at mum and dads for a couple of months. It was super nice of them to have us. Just before Christmas though, we were able to find our perfect place, one street back from the beach at Bargara. It is a beautiful little beach shack and we are in love. Sometimes in life we have to take a few sideways steps to end up where we are meant to be! This spot is incredible!On the running front, I faced a couple of challenging injuries this year, however showed perseverance and dealt with them as they come. I was super stoked with how I did at Glasshouse 100miler and Blackall 100 races and have some loftier race goals for 2015. Overall, 2014 was not too bad a year of racing and training, practically being able to hit some beautiful trails whilst living on the coast. I ended up doing – Just shy of 4000k running, 5 ultra marathon races and had a stack load of fun!Going forward into 2015, there will be a lot more running, a lot of relaxing at the beach shack, family time, Pria starting Prep, and me studying….yep, I have been accepted into secondary PE teaching and am super keen to get into it!I just want to thank everyone who has helped make my year awesome, and kick my butt when I needed it! Injinji Performance Products have continued to be awesome with my sponsorship and I have met some beautiful, amazing people this year without doubt! I love you all, thank you for sharing this year with me and I hope and pray we can all learn and grow from last year and have an amazingly super 2015. Get after it friends, get on the plants and love life more and more every day! Peace!
