It’s normal for me to get butterflies on the morning of a race but never have I ever been this nervous about a race before. Its 6 days until the London Marathon and I already having extreme Maranoia. For the past Five days I have woken up in the middle of the night following nightmares […]
TWO WEEKS TILL LONDON
Holy cow its only two weeks until the London Marathon! I am absolutely crapping myself about this race as I pasted the point of not being prepared a long time ago. That being said I am going to give it my god damn all and still complete the race even if its in 7 hours […]
Hello 2018.
January 11th 2018. Its somehow already the second week in January and rather than getting back out there and jumping on my Marathon schedule, I am still slobbing around indoors eating leftover chocolate from Christmas! I’d put it all down to P.M.S but in reality, I just haven’t had the willpower or the getup and […]
Autumn Kit Picks
The weather quickly changed here in the UK last week; the clocks went back and then BOOM! The bitter cold, wet weather hit the country meaning all us runners started freezing our tits off during our morning runs. So, last weekend I packed away my shorts and tanks back into my kit draw and stacked […]
The Royal Legion’s Poppy Run
Last Sunday I took part in the Royal Legion’s Poppy Run in Chelmsford with Hulk. I have been dying to race with Hulk ever since we got him, so it was a great coincidence that the Poppy Run I signed up for the week before was pet friendly! I knew that I wanted to race […]
How To Train Your Dog To Run
Dogs love to get outside and run off energy round the park, so they make great running partners. My Husky loves to run alongside me every morning, and now he is in the routine I’ve never got the option to slack. The problem is that most dogs are not ready to run long distances from […]
Off Season Plans
Although I have not blogged since the beginning of the year properly, I have still been competing where I can. Life took a sudden turn in July (just as I started to get my mojo back for running and writing – Typical!), thus I had to spend my spare time focusing on family time rather than blogging. With everything settling down […]
Why I Am Deferring My Great North Run Place
I decided to enter the ballot for the Great North Run in honour of my Nan. Of course, along with the other 10 million people that enter, I didn’t think I would secure a place first time around, but sure enough the acceptance email landed in my inbox a few months later and I couldn’t […]
What I’ve Been Up To.
My last post was just short of three months ago and as much as I’d like to blame that all on life getting in the way, the truth is I lost my mojo following a rather large downward spiral of events. Of course, I’ve still been running and training as much as possible, however when […]
A Month In Fitness: June
May was a little dull fitness-wise thanks to a chest infection, which resulted a trip to A&E in an ambulance, wiping me out of three races and a lot of training. Therefore I am ever so excited to jump back into training this month. Race season is in full swing and there are plenty of events […]
