Movement Matters

Saturday morning saw us taking part in the event at King park athletes track.

Training and exercise, for me this year, has been one of...

1. Corrective exercise to address niggles.
2. Incorporating more heavy weight lifting.
3. Further increase my strength endurance.
4. Training new methods of training.
5. Be consistent with exercise.
6. Have fun and maintain.

So to be able to jump into a race and finish
20 out of 100 overall
4th in my age category
And knock 5 Min off my previous time... Means I'm doing pretty good.
That's all we can ever ask for.
Consistency and slow progressions

It was a really fun day out BUT what truly and honestly made the day worth every was hearing and seeing loved ones just shouting and supporting me.

Real strength comes from those who you chose to surround yourself with and I can say from the bottom of my heart I felt like Superman that day.

Thank you all for showing up and being such incredible humans.

My top spot will always be reserved for my team mate and true love
The world needs more people like you but I'm glad you're one of a kind that I get to call my own ❤️

If you are thinking about entering an event or about achieving a specific goal then all you have to do is sign up and show up.
Don't worry about being perfection or grossly under prepared. Just get out there and have fun at a pace you can manage. You'll feel better having done it than not.

Our 2nd adventure around this beautiful country and it delivered more than can be expected.

You have a way of making the hard times fly by and the good times linger.

You greet everyone with a bubbly infectiousness that leaves them smiling for minutes on end.

You are the perfect blend of feral and feminine.

You are an adorably nervous passenger but a confidentially capable driver.

You are a loving daughter, a proud mother, a supportive friend and devoted girlfriend.

I am lucky to spend my life adventuring and growing with you

You are my greatest gift
I love you 💖

🩺 BLOOD PRESSURE 101

👉 Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against your artery walls.
It’s measured in two numbers:

Systolic (top): pressure when your heart beats.

Diastolic (bottom): pressure when your heart rests.

✅ Healthy: Around 120/80 mmHg
⚠️ Elevated: 120–129 systolic, under 80 diastolic
🚨 High (Hypertension): 130/80 and above

Consistently high readings strain your heart, arteries, kidneys, and brain—raising the risk of heart disease and stroke.

HOW TO MAINTAIN HEALTHY LEVELS

🥦 Eat more fruits, veggies & whole foods
💧 Stay hydrated
🏋️‍♂️ Exercise regularly (30 min most days)
🧘 Manage stress with sleep, breathing, and mindfulness
⚖️ Maintain a healthy weight
🚭 Cut smoking & limit alcohol

✨ Small daily choices = long-term heart health. Keep an eye on your numbers!
