Good morning and happy Monday. Apologies for the silence on this blog. I’m hoping that life has calmed down a little and that my blogging mojo has reappeared. After not running since September last year and a lot of strength and conditioning, I would love to be able to run 5km in approximately six weeks’ time. We shall see. Anyway, I hope that whoever takes…
I’d like to start by saying good morning, good afternoon, good evening, etc, and happy Wednesday. I can’t believe it’s June, the year seems to be flying by. I hope that everyone who reads this latest selection of book reviews – hopefully not just my online stalker although I guess one reader is better than no readers – is having a great week. Like last…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this post after a somewhat disappointing birthday. After spending my birthday last year waiting for a friend to be discharged from hospital I was hoping for a more positive birthday, but the reality was sadly different. I know that it’s my own fault I don’t have many friends, but spending my birthday on my own was difficult. Although I suspect that this…
I’d like to start by saying good morning, good afternoon, good evening etc, and happy Tuesday. I hope that whoever reads what is going to be the final instalment in my ‘Books read recently’ series of blogs for a while had an amazing Christmas and New Year. If for whatever reason, you didn’t enjoy Christmas and New Year, I hope that the next twelve months…
Happy New Year! Happy Monday. Here’s to a hopefully positive 2023 for everyone. I’m going to begin by making what sounds like a selfish wish; I hope 2023 is an injury free year for me. I know that there’s more to life than running, but I hope I’m finally able to run consistently. I’ve had enough knee issues to last me a lifetime. I’ve reviewed…
As 2022 has almost come to an end, I’ve decided to review my running highlights, low points, and the lessons I learned throughout the year. As like the previous two years I spent most of 2022 injured and unable to run, I decided to share some of my non-running highlights and low points. If you don’t enjoy reading lengthy annual review posts – I’m nosey,…
In 2020, I published a couple of what I called ‘What I spend in a week’ posts. These posts looked at my weekly spending and were very loosely based on the Money Diaries that are regularly published on Refinery29. [Source] The first money diary captured my weekly spending pre-lockdown, the second money diary during lockdown. As lockdowns are hopefully very much a distant memory, I…
Good afternoon and happy Wednesday. I hope you are having an awesome week and that the weather isn’t too miserable where you are. It’s just gone dark and started raining here, again. Fingers crossed it’s dry at the weekend. Anyway, enough complaining about the weather. I know it’s only November 23rd, but in an attempt to stop myself from making any ‘Black Friday’ running related…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this rants and raves post after discovering Wolves have just failed to win, again, and are now firmly stuck in the relegation zone. I’m aware that in the grand scheme of things football isn’t very important, but it’s frustrating watching a group of footballers who look like they’d rather be somewhere else. Although I suspect that this rants and raves post may…
I’d like to start by saying good morning, good afternoon, good evening, etc, and happy Monday! If you entered the ballot for the 2023 London Marathon, I really do hope that you get some good news today. I can’t believe that after a long, rainy weekend, I’m back thinking about dry weather. I also can’t believe how long it took me to finish this blog.…
