I don’t think I have ever done this much EVER!   The body is a little bit in shock, it doesn’t know when its going to end and I haven’t yet received those endorphin’s that give you that “runners high” This week I booked off as holiday – originally to go to France – butContinue reading “What’s with all this exercise?”

With just 9 weeks to go before Virgin London Marathon 2018 begins on April 22nd I have been upping the training.  Although trying to resemble Jane Torville when walking the dogs and falling on ice didn’t help things mid-week. Still I managed to get the miles on the cross-trainer which didn’t put pressure on myContinue reading “Its all getting so real…..”

After last week with all the ups and downs of having to cancel the Charity event and giving refunds (some kind friends donated their money to the charity) I could have just given up on training BUT unlike the normal me I stuck to my plan. I did one run with the beautiful Skyke –Continue reading “The joys of running…”

When nothing seeems to go right. And you need the rewind button. Preferably to 2017. So where do I start – because all of them seemed major and caused me so much worry but the first one is the person I care about more than anyone and thats my Mum. She picked up my fluContinue reading “Just one of those weeks……”

 We are only a week into 2018 and things are not looking so hot. Just before New Year I got the good news that my biopsy results came back clear and other than a few more tests I was looking forward to the start of the year. But 3 days in which saw me backContinue reading “Rewind please….”

And now the fun begins! Haven’t blogged for a while, things haven’t been conducive to marathon training with medical appointments for both me and my brother and news that he has a growth in his pituitary gland which could mean an operation at worst medication at best. So while I have still been taking theContinue reading “Another Christmas over……”

You always know it’s Xmas when you see the cocoa-cola ad. Its already December, I can’t believe where the time has gone, training has gone a bit pear shaped – I am still going out with Skye 3 times a week but we have had to drop down from running to walking. A quick tripContinue reading “December…..where did it go!”

As I have told you in previous blogs running for me is hard – very hard. So to be consistent with it is also hard, I have tried to keep motivated, music, Garmin watches with beeps that tell me when to run but nothing usually works. So I have got a secret weapon now in SkyeContinue reading “Consistency…..and the lack of it”

Running for pleasure has never entered my mind – I have only ever done it with a purpose and that is usually to raise money for charity. Over the years I have raised lots of money for various ones but they have all been very close to me. This year is no different. Having treatmentContinue reading “The reason behind the running….”

For some people running is easy – that word is never going to be in my vocabulary. In my head I am a tall slim woman with a blonde pony tail (OK we can dream can’t we!) bouncing along the road with such ease – the reality is somewhat different. Each mile of those 26.2Continue reading “Running…..and those 26.2 miles”
