Back baby!
WHAT IS UP?! Well, I am back! After all the muck around of the last month and a half, I started back running last week. I started short and built up over the week and this week started back on a seven week program for Cooks Tour 50miler. Thats a lot of weeks! It has been a bit of a testing time but I believe all these things happen for a reason.I managed to put on a couple of kgs over the time I was unable to run, so this past seven days, committed to a Raw Till 4 style of eating. This also was an interesting experiment and one that went pretty well. I managed to lose the weight I put on and am ready for the next six weeks build up for Cooks. Come at me! I am aiming to budge those last few kilos I am always on about to be in the leanest, fittest shape possible for this race. As a part of this journey, I have started a 'one photo a day for a year' on Instagram. This is a big challenge that sometimes seems a little overwhelming but one that I am enjoying thus far. Check out my handle at Adventures and Activism if your keen.Additionally, on the social media front, I have also just completed an electronic interview with Melanie at Eager for Life. This will be posted on her page in the next couple of weeks so stand by for that announcement too. She is a beautiful soul and doing some great work in all things health and vegan.I have recently been in touch with an Australian company Good Fuel Co. and have been sent some super yummy Thunderbird Raw Bars. I am in the process of sampling and reviewing the bars so stay tuned for that! In the mean time, if you need any natural race/life fuel, check out their site for a mix of bars, chia gels and cool kit.Apart from running related adventures, life is moving along nicely. I am now working pretty much full time hours at the Windmill and have some exciting ventures planned for this year work and holiday wise. This week has also been school holidays which always throws a bit of a spanner in the works for working parents. We have been blessed to have the help of my mum and without her this week would have been pretty much non-doable! Thanks mum!Sometimes, life at Bargara seems to roll on without any major activity to announce. However, it is in these day to day's that I find solace and peace. Our existence here truly is blessed and one that I cherish. Whilst I believe in constantly being on the hunt for 'better', being content in the present and what we are given is a gift. Much love and gratitude.I pray and hope this finds you all well. Hopefully in the coming weeks we will start to experience some cooler weather here at Bargara but in the mean time, we will continue to sweat it out, love life and be grateful for every day we are given. Namaste friends.
