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 →
It's been an interesting few weeks in life, work, and training - and I think this week things finally caught up with me. The last 7 days have been literally like running through treacle where energy and training has been concerned. I found a few days running I literally felt like I didn't want to... 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 →
