Date: Wed-ness-day 2017_07_19 Activity: Strength Training Location: at Home Duration: 20min (I tried to do everything fast fast..) Wed-ness-day.. Say it slowly – That’s how I say Wednesday in my head – No idea why I overslept so bad this morning and had to do all my exercises in 20min + wash my Hair.

Training Log: Day 1- Getting back to Running.

This week I’m going to work hard, run everyday, and do all those ‘sucky’ planks and sit-ups. I’m doing this for me… I…

Jacaranda trees and Foam-rollers
Yesterday Liezl and Mr. Gatsby asked me to join them for a walk through Brooklyn, Pretoria. We don’t live here but it’s really a beautiful neighborhood with beautiful houses, and lots and lots of Jacaranda trees. As promised, they were in full bloom yesterday, covering the ground with a purple carpet of flowers, with the buzz of bees in the air. The clouds were thick in the air, and looked like they were bringing the promise of rain, the wind was lovely amiss the summer heat. Our Country needs some rain right about now, I hope it comes, we need allot of relieve from many things happening in our country…
