I met with my younger self today …

She pulled up smiling, but I knew the smile wasn’t real.

She asked me “how are we doing?”, I said “better than u think we are”.

We had a tough start, but u wouldn’t have it any other way. It makes you into the woman u are today.

You live with 20+ foster families from age 6 to 16 and have an up bringing most will never understand.

You’ll spend a lot of your life feeling like ur “not enuf” or “too much”. You’ll later learn, it’s a reflection of where others are at.

She sips her peppermint tea whilst I enjoy my lactose free latte, we also learn later in life, we don’t do dairy haha

She asks me “what happens next?” And I reply “u become a cop, u buy ur own house, u dance on tv, u get married … u get divorced” …

I listen to her lil heart break, “are we still not good enuf?” And I say … “no hun, it’s not about that, it’s that ur too good … ur a catch”. With a smile, she replies .. “really? … Wow!“

“What about now?” She asks “did we find someone?”, I respond with “we start by finding ourself”. This will be ur greatest accomplishment yet.

we learn to love life becoz we are reminded at one point or another, we didn’t want to live.

She asks “how does it end?” … I say “we’re not at the end, we’re at the start” ;)

We booked in the next coffee date. It’s not for awhile but this time … she can’t wait to catch up

forever grateful xx

HYROX Yokohama

- 37 degrees on race day! this meant I didn’t get a PB … but I did come close … within a minute or two. not bad given the 5 months prior I had been training in 5-15 degrees

- my aim: get my run times down - this I nailed! I managed to hold near 5’00” pace on all 8 legs, except off of the bk of the sled push, BBJ & lunges (avrg 5’30”), which was still a massive decrease from 12 months ago)

- my why. Ppl always ask me, why do you do it? Why do u do HYROX? becoz I want to live outside my comfort zone. & let me tell u, tryna hold a 5’00” pace in 37 degrees wasn’t easy

- pressure is a privilege - lil lesson I’ve been learning of l8. this was the 1st time, I stood in the start tunnel, the adrenaline racing thru my body and i wasn’t one bit scared, i was ready!

- you probably wouldn’t believe just two yrs ago this girl walked away from a very unhealthy relationship, broken and lost. She walked into a local CrossFit gym having never ran a day in her life … know if I can come through this, so can you!

behind any great athlete is a team, so massive shout out to … my physio James @pillarsportsphysio, my amazing coach Charlie @iamcharlieconheady , who puts up with my grumbling week in week out and to every person who text/call’d/DM’d me to say good luck - it didn’t go unnoticed 🙏🏼 x
