V-Day

 

I hope you all have a day filled with light and love. 

For many women however, today like many others will be filled with sadness and violence.

So I ask you to make a difference today #VDay - Rise for justice, to end violence against women! DANCE, RISE, RELEASE to demand justice and end impunity! 

This is a global movement. You can visit onebillionrising.org for more info on what events are taking place in your area. #OneBillionRising

I will be taking a stand today with my fellow Dubliners on Grafton street, Dublin 5-5.30pm.

Here's a link to an article I wrote last year: V-Day #onebillionrising

My 2014 Fitness Mission!

In my craze to get fit and healthy for 2014, I took to the streets yesterday and managed to run 7.12km. Instead of feeling exhausted I was completely energized. Two years ago after a knee injury, I had to give up running but slowly and surely I am getting my pace back!

I have also signed up for a local Pilates class and I’m really excited about it. I’ve neglected my fitness a bit since I started studying part-time 4 years ago. I went from gym junkie/ jogger to barely anything at all! So now it's time for change.

My goal is to run the Women's mini marathon on June 2nd; I did it in 2010. (I cannot believe it's been four years?!) I was able to run 7km then and jog/ walk the final 3km, but this time I would love to run the whole way!

What are your fitness goals for this year?
