Good morning and happy Monday. After a few shocks at work last week, I wonder what will happen this week. My weekend had one highlight; completing the seventh week of my Couch to 5k training. The penultimate week of my Couch to 5k training plan looked like this. I’ve said it before, but my levels of paranoia are most definitely increasing as I approach the…
**Disclaimer: After spending the afternoon listening to what I’m starting to think are the world’s noisiest children playing in the garden next door while trying to solve weir equations, I have a feeling that this selection of rants and raves will end up being quite ranty. Sorry! As always, all moans and groans and rants and raves represent my personal opinions and views. And yes,…
If you’ve been reading this running blog for any period of time you may well have noticed that I’m quite an injury-prone runner. Since starting this blog in 2013, I’ve lost count of the number of races I’ve not started due to injuries. Although the cause of my metatarsal stress fracture remains a mystery, I suspect that the majority of these injuries have been caused…
Good morning and happy Monday. I hope that everyone had a fab weekend. My weekend had one highlight; completing week six of my Couch to 5k training. The sixth week of my Couch to 5k training plan looked like this. I think it’s fair to say that my levels of paranoia are increasing as I get near the end of the Couch to 5k. In…
Earlier this year, I kept track of my spending for a week and published the results in this post. I found keeping track of my spending incredibly useful as it helped me identify where I could make savings. Writing the post gave me the reality check and kick up the arse I so desperately needed. That was January, I think it’s reasonable to say that…
Apologies for the all too predictable start to this latest training and life update, but I hope that whoever reads this post had an amazing weekend. My weekend wasn’t great and only really had one highlight; completing the fifth week of my Couch to 5k training. I need to find myself a bubble to join ASAP! The fifth week of my Couch to 5k training…
As always, I hope that whoever reads my latest life and training update had a fabulous weekend. My weekend had one highlight; successfully completing the final interval session of the fourth week of my Couch to 5k training. The rest of my weekend was, quite frankly, pretty shit. Anyway, week four and the midway stage of my Couch to 5k training plan looked like this.…
I hope everyone is having an enjoyable week, I can’t believe it’s already Thursday and the weekend is rapidly approaching. I don’t want to tempt fate, but after almost reaching the halfway stage of the Couch to 5k training plan I’m following, I’m finally starting to feel like a runner again. After what I can only describe as a bit of a false start earlier this…
I’ve always been a bookworm. When I was growing up, I’d spend a lot of my time with my nose buried in a book. I was lucky because I was provided with a constant supply of books. When I was at junior school I loved the Chalet School, Malory Towers, and St Clare’s series of books about boarding schools. I really wanted to go to…
Good morning and happy Monday. I can’t believe it’s the first day of June and we are almost halfway through what is turning out to be a somewhat challenging year. As always, I hope that whoever reads my latest training and life update had a great weekend. I think the highlight of what was a challenging weekend was being included in this Metro feature along…
