Today....

Well, I planned on posting a blog last week but things were hectic (whats new!?) so here we are!  There is SO much going on and SO many exciting things happening at the moment it is nearly blowing my head up!  So, where to start....

First of all - today I started back running!  After eight weeks away from my indulgence with a stress fracture, I am finally back!  I only ran 2k but it was lung burning joy!  Where we live now at the coast is COMPLETELY different to Bundy and I got nearly 100m elevation in 2k!  OH I AM EXCITED!  I have massive plans for my running going forward and plan on being competitive, training hard and smart and being a lean, fast mountain goat!  Bring on the upness!

I have also been around the same weight for the last year or so.  I have knowledge that my weight is not ideal for competitive running and for sometime now I have wanted to drop my weight by a further substantial amount.  I know I have hinted at this in the past but I really want to get to where I should be as a ultra runner, completing the foundation of building my running career from here on in.  Fun journey ahead.  Along side gaining ideal racing weight, long term health and wellness is something I am aiming for every day.  I have strong conviction about the 'best' way to eat for longevity and this is the gold standard I am aiming for going forward.

For those who don't know, I am now working full time at Kunara Organic Market Place http://www.kunara.com.au .  I am SUPER excited as they have just started a magazine (also can be seen on the website or obtained in hard copy from the shop).  After some conversation with the marketing department, I am going to be writing a whole page every issue.  This will generally include an interview with a local personality, regular customers or whoever (this issue will be with local triathlete Scottie Farrell who some of you know, so wait for that!), some training tips, maybe a recipe or whatever I like.  It is a great opportunity and one I can also use to promote my TattooRunner adventures, which brings me to my next point....TattooRunner!

Kunara have offered me as a runner a sponsorship!  It is a great opportunity and I am super excited to be involved with them as an athlete as well as an employee.

Hopefully this week, I am also going to be launching my website.  There will be more details about this forthcoming, but it will hopefully be a one-stop-shop for all things TattooRunner - blog, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube etc.  Very VERY keen to get this up and running.

Lastly (I think), I can now officially announce I am coaching!  My good mate Andy Dower has given me a good push to get this going, and I am going to be helping him in his journey to the Glasshouse 100miler in September.  I am available to coach anyone (generally online) from new or established ultra runners, trail runners, runners in general and also those who haven't run a step!  I would love to help people lose weight, set a goal and achieve it (no matter how small!), and generally make your life better!  Please pass the word around, but these details will be on my website, pending the release.  If ANY of you are interested in getting coached by me, or know someone who might be interested in getting coached, please email me direct at grills_1@hotmail.com for costing etc...

So, I think that is it for the moment?!  There is SO much going on and I have so many goals, dreams and visions of what I want to achieve in the near and distance future.  I have really grown a deep seeded entrepreneurial spirit and I have no desire for the ordinary.  I am chasing the dream, living life, celebrating existence and learning from mistakes.  God is good, life is blessed and meant to be a wild adventure.  I am honoured that you would want to share this journey with me and hope you are taking your own off beaten, un-explored single track to find your own special, individual calling.  I love you all friends, have an amazing, super exciting, beautiful week.  Run on, plant strong....
