Train. Improve. Repeat.
Last week wasn't foreseen. I had to fly back to the UK for a family members funeral. It was a very sad occasion and a whistlestop visit - with 5 nights in total in the UK and 2 in Singapore. My running kit was the first to go into my suitcase. I figured it would... Continue Reading →
As I started writing this post yesterday I was sat looking out of the window at the rain pouring down! It has been so sticky lately - I hoped that the rain would lighten the humidity - but no - it has stayed humid. Today has been slightly better but I am actually looking forward to...

What a few weeks it has been. In fact what a year it has been! I feel like I have neglected both my running and this blog from a consistency point of view. Both have often seemed in the 'too hard' bucket at times when I have been tired, demotivated or just darn right fed... Continue Reading →
The craziness in my life is intensifying with one week before I move house 50 minutes away. With a busy job, packing and a toddler it has been somewhat challenging to train but I am not stressing about it as one more week and I will hopefully start to have some normality back in my...
