Good morning, without sounding all too predictable, I can’t believe its September. I don’t want to wish my life away, but I’m kind of relieved that there are ‘only’ another four months of what has been a challenging year to get through! 2021 has to be better, doesn’t it? I’ve been making an effort to read more books during the lockdown. Not magazines or e-books,…
Last weekend, when I was tackling some slightly overdue blog related admin, I realised that it’s been quite some time since I shared a personal, catch-up post. I spent a bit of time looking through my blog, and I think I shared my last what I’d call dedicated life update type post in June 2018. I’ve provided updates since then, but these haven’t been in…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this latest selection of rants and raves after an enjoyable (?) hot day in my office at home. As a result, I have a feeling this rants and raves post will probably end up being a tad more what I call ‘ranty’ than normal. As always, all rants and raves and moans and groans and rants represent my personal views and opinions.…
I’m not going to lie; I’ve recently spent a lot of time thinking about the future of this blog. When I weighed up the pros and cons of continuing, the pros just about outweighed the cons. Although I love writing and find it a great way of unwinding when I’ve finished work, I’d started to wonder if I was wasting valuable time writing and publishing content…
Like most runners, I love taking part in organised events and races. In my opinion, nothing beats the feeling of crossing the finish line of a race. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, the vast majority of organised events for 2020 have now been postponed or cancelled. For the first time I can remember, my race calendar is completely empty. In the absence of organised events and…
Good morning and happy Wednesday. I hope that whoever reads this review post is having an amazing week. If for whatever reason, you aren’t having a very good week, I hope that your week improves ASAP. I’ve got a review of some running insoles for you today. As I’m aware that people don’t enjoy reading what I call ‘pure’ review posts, I had originally planned…
I hope that everyone had a great weekend and that Monday morning isn’t dragging too much. Yesterday, I realised two things; it’s July – yes, I’m completely on the ball, and I hadn’t written and published a progress report on my 2020 running goals. Like all runners, my running plans have been hugely impacted by COVID-19. Add a couple of running injuries and a loss…
Good morning and happy Monday. As always, I hope that whoever reads this life and training update had an amazing weekend. My weekend had one highlight; spending some time away from my house with mum, my step-father, and the family cats. In an ideal world, the weekend would have had another highlight; me running 5k yesterday. Unfortunately, I hurt my left knee on Tuesday, and…
