Yesterday, I read this post. Go ahead and read it, it’s a great post. Been there. After Stef died, I lost nearly 3 stone (I lived in the gym cause it helped me sleep and I didn’t really eat much … Continue reading →

April Goals

Posted on April 4, 2012 by

First things first, March was a bad month, actually most of February was bad and the badness continued into March. Work was so busy and stressful (I’m doing the work of 3 people, having had 5 weeks training). That feeling … Continue reading →

During #resound11, we were asked what our theme sound for 2011 was and I chose ‘A Little Bit of Feelgood” by Jamie Lidell. I stand by that, it’s totally where I was in 2011. Krissie from Questions for Dessert chose … Continue reading →

I came, I ran, I didn’t conquer

Posted on September 11, 2011 by

This wasn’t a great run, I know I can run better, I know I can run faster. Glad it’s done, the lesson learned is smaller races, more training!

Sometimes you have to know when to quit

Posted on July 14, 2011 by

I’ve been in bed the last two days with this cold/throat thing and so I’ve made a decision. No 10k on Sunday. It’s not sensible and much as I want to do it, I’m not well enough and haven’t run … Continue reading →

5k race and dodgy breathing..

Posted on July 11, 2011 by

Ma had this great idea that we’d do an easy 5k, with a glass of champagne afterwards the week before we did the 10k. It was a great idea. Although I don’t look convinced.. However, Ma and I both caught … Continue reading →

Determination

Posted on July 8, 2011 by

I don’t understand, I’ve been looking after myself, eating well (or as well as you can when you’ve spent a day throwing up!), getting enough sleep and generally not living a wild life. I still seem to be picking up … Continue reading →

This weekend I’m going to Watford to babysit this little man.. His parents are off to spend a day on a boat, so Ma and I are going to have fun with Olly. Which probably means chasing him around a … Continue reading →
