It may be obvious by the general lack of updates, that the mop of demotivation has reared its dank and musty head once more I have still been training, but it has been a little more sporadic than I would like, which means that, although I am making progress, it is slower than I want…… Continue reading Motivation by the truck load…

Well… I was after a challenge!
Not so long ago (last week actually) I told you that I had entered another Novice Strongwoman competition (read all about it).

Reminding myself I love deadlifts!
You know me, I deadlift above everything, it is a recurring theme of my training.

Who do I want to be next?
New job New adventures New start New opportunities Who do I want to be when I face all these new and exiting things?
