Thursday, November 6, 2014. Cairns 2 Kuranda Train Race 2014 - Race Report. Last Sunday I took part in my 3rd Cairns 2 Kuranda train race. This is an 18km race up a hill to try and beat the tourist train you can see in the background of the above picture. Usually this event runs in winter, but due to unforseen events, this year's race took place in the heat of October here in the tropics. The first part of the run is 5km on the roads. Once I hit the uphill, that's when I slowed down. In so far as beating...

Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Eat and Run - A Book Review. I recently finished reading this book. About ultramarathon runner Scott Jurek. This man was at the top of ultramarathon running in the States for a long time, and his book tells of his journey to the top and how he got there. Scott became a vegan and is very much an advocate for a plant based diet, proving how nourishing and adequate it can be - it certainly provided him with enough fuel and nutrition to achieve some amazing physical results. Toward...

Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Ultramarathon Man - a book review. I just finished reading this book. And I want to pick it up and read it all over again! Ok so maybe I don't want to run quite as much as Dean Karnazes, but it made me want to get out more and live life, use my body to it's full potential and not waste another moment. Dean is an engaging writer, using just enough background description to set the scenes, humour as he talks about the tough parts and sincerity in his emotions and feelings.

Monday, July 14, 2014. The Blue Arrow Trail - Cairns. The Blue Arrow is a bit longer and for me takes about an hour to run combined with the Red. My best time is 58 mins, but I haven't run it in a long time and I'm sure I could go a little faster than that now - but maybe not yet as fast as my speedy husband! At the weekend we took our girls around the Blue Arrow track for a walk - so it was a good opportunity to take a few photos to show the trail! So here's a few pictures of the trail itself:. There is...
