Year 5 of being a volunteer at Challenge Roth. And it still feels as great as ever. This year was special to me, because for the first time in 2 years I had a friend from Galway racing. He came all by himself having underestimated the accommodation situation in the mini town. It’s really hard…

Wow, the other day I realized that I have not been posting in almost two years. Where has time gone. You may have guessed that I arrived in Germany. And I have had my troubles adjusting back to the country of rules and regulations and sticks up certain body parts… I must admit, that I…
Oh my, the time is near. Only one more week in Ireland. That’s one week using the bus because the moving truck arrived on Friday and they took both of my bikes, which will hopefully be handed over to me again in Germany. I had recently taken quite a shine to cycling again. Not that…
Since I am moving back to the homeland soon, I had to give up my lovely little car. Steering wheel just wasn’t on the correct side. Bummer! The car has since moved down to Cork and I am once more relying on public transport and the bike. I don’t much mind that. The only thing…

Well hello to y’all. I cannot believe it’s been 10 months but I guess time flies when you don’t have any. I was up and up in work and life and all. My Yoga teacher training really took over and between homework and essays and regular Yoga practice, I didn’t find any time to dedicate…
Let me go all Valley Girl on you and say: OMG, this Chronic Fatigue is seriously ticking me off, like! This has been one tough three last weeks. The first of the three, I was absolutely unable to do anything. I felt like there was nothing left in me. All I was able to do was…
Whoopsy, I’ve gone without a post for a while. I think it is because after my holidays, I was slightly depressed to be coming back to Ireland and into this winter-esque weather. Don’t get me wrong. There has been sun. And it isn’t freezing all the time but there has not been a real summer.…
Disclaimer: If you do not like Yoga, stop reading here. This is a Yoga only blog. I’ll return to triathlon next week (after I have been to Roth) but for now, it’s Yoga only. Sooooo, I went to Barcelona for the Barcelona Yoga Conference. Those who read my last blog will know, I was a bit nervous…
Logging off my work computer tonight and walking into the rain felt gooooooood! I’m leaving all this weather misery behind. First for 5 days and then for another 10 days. First leg of the gallivanting: BARCELONA. Yes, the time has come and I am flying out to the Barcelona Yoga Conference. So excited but also very…
I’m sitting on my bum again. It’s been a long and active week and that’s why I’m sitting on my bum. The Master and Commander aka the Polar V800 says so. These days, I let this watch run my life. I get up every 55 minutes in the office because I don’t want my wrist…
Today, we celebrate the first ever International Yoga Day. Why we need it, I have no clue. Maybe to attract more people to Yoga? But to what kind of Yoga do we attract them to? Currently, I see two clichés about Yoga in the minds of most people, including some who actually practice Yoga. To…
I am writing this from the couch again and yet again, I am in pain. But it is good pain this time. None of that heavy bones, headache flu stuff. I am sitting on the couch like an invalid because my feet and legs are supersupersuper sore. I cannot remember the last time I was…
My good intentions of going to the gym on Monday just went out the window. I just could not get myself to get off the couch. I felt too fatigued. This made me decide to do something that has been totally unheard of in my house for the last two years. I stayed on the…
I thought I should post some sort of update, even if there is not much to tell really. Life has thrown me a curveball or maybe I got too ambitious with my training. Last Monday after my workshop, I was once more overwhelmed with fatigue. Just like last summer. I felt bad for not being…
When I finished my last post on Saturday night, I sort of knew that my Sunday would be worth a blog on its own. I had to travel to Dublin for the workshop of workshops, the workshop I had been looking forward to ALL YEAR. I think at this stage some of you may have…
My life sucks, I think I'll become a Triathlete
