As most of the Aussie running community is aware, next week is the Zatopek: 10 at Melbourne Olympic Park.. This year marks the 50th anniversary of this iconic running meet, so Runners Tribe has asked me to give a little recount of my lead-up to the event, where I...
It has been a while since my last Journal, so I thought I’d give you a quick update on what I have been up to over the past few months.
I haven’t done much in terms of racing since world juniors. Although, I did compete in the New Zealand cross...
Just letting everyone know I’m still alive. I spent 2 full months on crutches with no weight-baring at all. From there I was allowed to walk around for a ryan gregsonmonth to strengthen my ankle joint and calf and increase my range of the joint that was reduced due...
This year was one of transition and frustration for me. After 8 years of living in Fayetteville, Arkansas in the United States, my husband (Mark) and I decided it was time to move home. We love being back. Although we had a great time living in the US, I...

It's been pretty good living in the village, with...
After two weeks spent in Delhi I am finally back in the comfort of my own home. What an experience Delhi was even if I never got to explore the real sights India has to offer. Being stuck in the village for obvious safety reasons, eventually took its toll...
So I guess I’m not Superman. I pulled up sore after a couple of races and I ended up with a stress fracture in my foot. That’s the way life goes I guess. Everybody has their setbacks so you just have to take the good with the bad. All...
Just four months ago I completed what was one the most successful seasons of my career thus far. And now only 2 months out from the 2010/11 season I reflect on the highs and lows of last season and the winter I just had.
