Training: Swim 1.6km / Run 6km
I am sure by now you have heard about Foodbuzz's new and exciting competition to find the next food blog super star.
Challenge #1 is simple: introduce yourself and explain why you believe you’ve got what it takes to be the winner. And we all know that I like a challenge ;)
I have a title. And a job description. But too often when others ask what I do I reply with such a generic answer that they find out very little about who I actually am.
It got me to thinking about the 10 year old me. The girl who loved playing tennis, hiking with her dad and baking cakes with her mum. A young girl with a sense of adventure, amazed by all the opportunities that life seemed to offer.
Did the 10 year old me know that one day she would be a wife and a fur-mum?
That she would become a runner,
A cyclist....
A reluctant swimmer,
And a lover of triathlons?
That she would travel,
have many adventures,
And always enjoy a challenge?
That she would develop a passion for food and cooking,
and strongly believe food should be colourful,
fresh,
healthy,
Yet tasty.
I think the 10 year old me would be very happy to know that she became an adult with a strong passion for food, fitness and life. And to realise that her sense of adventure never waived, and if anything, only became stronger.
Adventures, that I am thrilled to be able to share with you all on a daily basis.
Happy Baking :)
