Train. Improve. Repeat.
I finally decided it was time to get back to my keyboard and to start writing again after having a couple of weeks of neglecting my blog. I hesitated and to be honest I have not been at all motivated to write the last few weeks with work commitments, general lethargy and actually not even... Continue Reading →
Hope you had a nice relaxing Christmas. I popped up to the post with my husband to visit his family and it was chaotic as usual . I'm never used to having lots of people around so 7 adults, 3 kids and 2 babies was pretty full on! My mother in law has just moved... Continue Reading →
The last few weeks have been a wrestle from a food and training point of view. I've had a number of social events where I have found it hard to eat lower carb foods at as there were no options and I wasn't prepared with my own stuff. So as a result I have eaten... Continue Reading →
Since I last wrote I have struggled a little bit with my training - but feel like I am pushing through the other side now which is awesome. I don't find running easy, and I think most runners would agree it never get's easier because you are always pushing yourself harder, even when you improve!... Continue Reading →

Its been 9.5 months now since my son was born and all I could think of whilst I was pregnant was how I was going to get back into my training and what I wanted to achieve as I missed running. Don't get me wrong I was delighted being pregnant but I'd always run and... Continue Reading →
It's been a good couple of weeks with my training dare I say it and I've been running 5 days a week following the schedule given to me by my trainer and I'm slowly getting there. It's amazing how quickly you lose your fitness but great that thanks to muscle memory the body gets back... Continue Reading →
After this mornings run you'd never guess I had been running for 12 years! I was all set to go and had my kit ready the night before, my iPod charged, and my new TomTom GPS watch to try out which I was very excited about. So the alarm went off and my husband politely... Continue Reading →
