One thing I love about running, even after all these years, is that there is
always a new experience waiting for you out on the road. Saturday morning, just
2 weeks to go before the BIG C. After a leisurely sleep in and lazing in bed we
decided to head out for an easy 8km [...]

I am always a little nervous when I change my running shoes, but then again I’m
always keen to try something new, especially if it is pitched from some tech,
new-fad angle. I just can’t resist. So when I first laid eyes on Reebok’s
ZigTech shoes I was immediately wooed. I could see me in [...]
Beating Bruce The start was dark, but the tension was palpable as we stood
waiting for the gun that would herald the start of our 56km Two Oceans race.
The gun sounded…and we stood, and stood, and stood…before breaking into a slow
walk, shuffle, walk, shuffle, jog, and finally run. 9,000 runners were off on

There is no more awesome place to be writing this, than seated on the balcony
of my room on board of the MSC Sinfonia, slowly cruising our way back from
Portuguese Island (Mozambique). The sea, like a lake, stretches out to vanish

you get sick less often and when you get sick the symptoms are a lot less
severe. And so in our quest to get a stronger immune system we turn to “magic
cures”. This can be anything from special berries that [...]
Part 3 of the ongoing saga of our Journey to Comrades Marathon 2011. “The
time has come…to say fair’s fair…to pay the rent…to pay our share…da

And so 2011 leaps on…Aussies, Animals and Adventure. While the year is yet
young at heart, it seems that the journey to Comrades 2011 is leaping ahead in
Kangaroo bounds. Near the end of January Nicky and I found ourselves in
Australia for a week. As any travelers would know, being away from home does

Hey everyone, Well the new year has gotten going with a great blast, and so has
the running. Before you know it Comrades is panting down your neck. While the
epic 90km race is only in the end of May, the training has already ramped right
up. In 3 weeks time we have a marathon [...]
There are thousands and thousands of approaches to weight loss from Acai
berries to special machines that will shake and wobble you in all the right
places. Yet, while millions of dollars of advertising revenue push these
“miracles” onto us, very few are backed by solid, reputable scientific
research. Normally they are accompanied by glowing [...]
