Train. Improve. Repeat.
I was wondering what to write about in my latest blog post, and my running friend Sam and I were chatting about something on our 18k run at the weekend, and I decided I would write my post today about it - how to be a good running buddy. There are lots of posts out there about... Continue Reading →
I am sat on New Year's Eve with a smile on my face. No it's not because I have lots of things planned for the evening - (my night will be pretty boring actually) but it is because I am allowed to run again! I went to the physio yesterday and he says there is... Continue Reading →
Last week wasn't the best week. In fact since I got back from my trip overseas 5 weeks ago things haven't exactly gone according to plan! The plan was to get back, get the 1kg off that I gained, get back into running and really push the training. Three things happened: I got sick It was... Continue Reading →

Hope you had a great week of long running. It's been a bit stressful for me with my son having a terrible time of teething, getting a cold right before my long run and still suffering a bit with my foot. I am determined I am going to push on through the race and so... Continue Reading →
Well the marathon is almost here and the last week or two have not been without drama as you will have read in my last post. The blister went on to sideline me from a weeks training when distance was at its most crucial. I spent a frustrating week not running and visiting the podiatrist... Continue Reading →
The last week or so has been a blur with training and organising my son's first birthday party. I never tend to do things by half so I put far too much stress on myself in preparation for his party and ended up making 4 cakes for his birthday as trial runs and they all... Continue Reading →
