So, coming up to race day (next Saturday) I’m challenging myself to reach a personal best speed. So far, my personal best is 35 minutes and 21 seconds for a 5k. It would be cool to get it down to 30 minutes, but that would be a 6 minute kilometer and today’s pace was 7.22. [...]

I’ve been overweight the whole of my adult life. Never hugely obese, but always struggling with that extra 30-40 pounds that need to come off! Even at the height of marathon training, walking 70+ kilometers a week didn’t change that fact.
I’ve done the yo-yo thing, the “change your lifestyle” thing, and even created [...]

Hello all!
As some of you may – or may not know – I walked my first marathon last October. I took a ridiculously short amount of time to train, and while I succeeded, it nearly did me in!

Here’s another “Amazing Walker” story – truly inspirational (I say just after I chickened out for my walk because it’s raining . . .)

Today was one of those trigger days, and I found myself wrestling with this to the point of complete frustration. [...]

We are renovating.
We attempted an en suite bathroom renovation three years ago. It’s still ongoing. I doubt it will ever be done.
So now, we’re doing the main floor, but we learned our lesson, and this time we’re hiring it out. New floors, new paint.
I don’t like renovating. I don’t even like houses – too much [...]

It’s hard to know where to start as I sort through the emotions of yesterday’s incredible disappointment. My initial reaction was anguished crying, which turned to anger as I lashed out at God. For a brief moment, I considered tossing my whole faith in the bin and becoming an atheist, but just like Peter long [...]

I have just heard from Nicholas’ father. Nicholas’ colon was removed.
I am undone.

I’ve been on quite a journey with God in the last couple of months. Through circumstances that were incredibly painful, I ended up hanging out with some people who might describe themselves as “Word of Faith”. What that means is this: “This is (the) Bible: I am what it says I am; I have what [...]
