Train. Improve. Repeat.
Sorry - long time no talk! I haven't written anything in a week or three as our baby finally arrived! He arrived!! Max was born at the end of April - it was a fairly quick labour and nice and pain free thanks to the epidural I made sure I had! I read lots of articles... Continue Reading →
I can't believe it - baby is nearly here! I got my "I'm Expecting" App email on Tuesday telling me I was 37 weeks - in case I had forgotten (a serious possibility with the baby brain I seem to currently have!) and I sat down and thought - wooo no turning back now! It's... Continue Reading →
I've had a few emails about the pregnancy pants that I mentioned I was wearing a couple of weeks ago so thought I'd write up as a product review. After having backache and pelvic pain at the start of my third trimester I went to see a physio who went to work and I looked... Continue Reading →
I don't know if you have heard of the Wonderstuff - but they were one of my favourite bands in the 80s and they sang a song called "The Size of a Cow!" and lately that's been on my mind when I look at my ever expanding baby belly! I can't see my feet anymore... Continue Reading →

It's been a busy couple of weeks hence no posts but I am getting myself together now 🙂 One of my ultra marathon runner friends announced recently that she and her fiance are getting married in the middle of the Marathon Du Medoc in France in September. It's very typical of her and it's going... Continue Reading →
Well it is the 2nd January and we are in 2014! Can't believe how quickly in some ways last year went, although it did drag at times too when I really was fighting against not being able to train - but hey I have 4 months and my baby will be born and I can... Continue Reading →
I was sat with friends having a catch up yesterday and we got to talking about the bump in the room - namely mine and I am finding every time I chat to people the subject of giving birth and babies comes up! It's interesting listening to everyone's stories - some good - some bad... Continue Reading →
When found out I was pregnant I panicked. Crazy I know but all I could think about was getting fat and not being able to train. I look back now and think about how obsessive that sounds! But I guess when you have been going to a gym since the age of 18 and even... Continue Reading →
