Fear of Flying…

I hate flying… Which when you consider how many flights I take a year, its pretty ridiculous. Currently I’m trying to get over the anxiety induced by a flight on the tiniest plane I’ve ever been on out to Guernsey ahead of a charity event the Team is doing. I’ve been getting better and better […]

Appreciation…

How often do you really take time to appreciate things? I don’t mean the sending out thank you cards to everyone for presents received kind of appreciation, nor the “thank you” you give to someone for holding a door open for you type of appreciation. I’m talking more the time to really think, look, and […]

Never Giving up..

My Uncles words to live by… This journey so far has taken over 14 years of my life, which is pretty much half of it, and for what- one medal… It sounds a little bit crazy when you think about it; especially now having the World title back under our belts… I once heard a […]

2016 – The Year of Fearless

Now I don’t normally do shameless plugs, but I’m making an exception for a friend… Everyone head on over to my friend Adrianne’s website: http://www.worldsupbikerun.com She’s off on an epic adventure in 2016, and if you’re short on motivation or inspiration for the upcoming year, you’re sure to find it here!! 2016 really will be […]

Battling the negatives…

We all have those mean and negative voices in our heads, but needless to say, some of us have better control over the beasties that others… One particular voice that I’ve been struggling with a lot recently is my self image, and in particular my weight… Coming home from a recent training trip to Rio […]

Nail varnish life…

When people have a look at my left hand they might wonder how on earth my nails are done, or maybe they think; surely a brush is a better tool for nail varnish than a paint-ball gun?? It’s taken me a little while and a professional nail course to learn a method that doesn’t get […]

Change of scenery…

So as you can see, the site has had a bit of a make-over!! It was time for a change, and its made me more determined than ever to get back to blogging- it’s been way too long. A few of you may know how much I push myself and how much I really ask […]

Finding my feet…

So recently I’ve been sunning it up in Antigua through a chance meeting of a friend of mine on Twitter and the amazing racing team, the Sirens. They’re an entirely female Solent based yacht racing team, with the aim of not only getting women on the water, but competing at the same level as the […]

Leave your insecurities at the door…

So people often stop and stare at me when I’m out and about… I guess it’s unusual to see someone without their forearm…. But then it got me thinking. Surely after the amazing publicity of the London 2012 Paralympics people really SEE disabled people, or perhaps maybe even find them “inspirational”. There was an interesting […]

Fireworks, fun and BALANCE :-)

So it’s been nearly 2 weeks of time away from everything… I have to say that I’ve really enjoyed my time here in the USA, which is something I’d never thought I would hear myself say. Normally you would see me hurtling around, or parked in front of my desk driving 2 macs at max […]
