I’d like to start by saying good morning, good afternoon, good evening, etc, and happy Wednesday. I hope that everyone who reads this slightly overdue collection of mini book reviews had an amazing Christmas and New Year. I can’t believe I’m back at work tomorrow. My two and a half weeks of annual leave flew by in a blur of food, family, board games, books,…
Happy New Year!! I’m going to start by making what probably sounds like a rather selfish wish; I hope that 2022 is a more injury-free year for me. I’ve had enough running injuries to last me a lifetime. I also hope that 2022 is the year life returns to something that resembles some sort of normality sooner rather than later. I’m not sure I can…
As 2021 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 last year I spent the majority of the year 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 quite…
I hope that whoever takes the time to read this final personal challenges update had an amazing Christmas. I know that it’s not quite the end of December, but as I’m aiming to share my 2021 review post with you tomorrow, I thought I’d publish this post a day early. This month, what I describe as my blogging mojo has unfortunately been a little up…
Good morning/good afternoon/good evening (please delete as appropriate!). I hope that everyone had an amazing weekend. I’m feeling quite chirpy today because I’m not working. If you took part in an organised event, I’m looking forward to seeing your #MedalMonday posts over on Instagram. I’m still waiting for what would have been my first medal of 2021; my virtual Boston Marathon medal to appear. It’s…
I’m acutely aware that the start to my blogs is quite repetitive, apologies! Anyway, I hope that whoever takes the time to read this latest personal challenges update post is having a great week. I also hope that the weather where you are is better than the weather here in Four Oaks. I’m also aware that approximately four weeks ago I said that November was…
As always, I hope that everyone is having an amazing week. I can’t believe that it’s December tomorrow. I’m trying not to get too stressed out about the 12 and a bit miles I need to walk at some point today. At the moment, the pavements in Four Oaks are covered in slush, so I need it to warm up ASAP. The wintry weather in…
I hope that whoever takes the time to read this latest personal challenges update post had an amazing weekend. I also hope that you didn’t have to spend too much time pretending you weren’t at home due to trick-or-treaters. Halloween. I made the fatal error of watching Ghostwatch last night, so I’m starting the new month feeling a tad jaded. I’m aware that I’ve been…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this rants and raves post after spending six hours in what felt like never ending MS Teams meetings. I didn’t have time for lunch so I’m also feeling slightly hangry. As a result, I have a sneaky feeling that this rants and raves post may turn out to be quite ranty. As always, all rants and raves and moans and groans represent…
Good morning/good afternoon/good evening. I’ve only been back in work a week, but TGIF! Returning to work after two weeks of annual leave was not easy. I’m aware that I’m repeating myself, but I can’t believe that it’s the first day of October today. I also can’t believe that if everything goes to plan, I’ll be walking 26.2 miles on Sunday. I’m aware that I’ve…
