'The Beast'

So....you might think that Pai just puts her mind to artistic endeavours and not much else.

Well!

Have I got news for you. Pai can be seen at the gym pumping iron, running up and down hills and (even at this time of year - winter), swimming in the sea at Te Tii bay in Paihia. Nothing will hold this determined lady back to achieve her goals. Only two weeks ago Pai, her daughter Kyra and friend Lizzle Dizzle took part in the Northland Beast, a 7km Mud Run through local farmland and they all loved it.

So in this photo you can see Pai, bottom left, totally lapping up the course having left Kyra and Lizzle Dizzle in her wake.

Pai and Kyra are in training for a bigger, much bigger goal for 2018, the Great Wall of China Marathon, so watch this space for updates.
