Ramblings of running addict!
Time for a 2016 update methinks!
After a few pretty awful years following a bereavement and then my chick fleeing the nest to university i think I am finally coming back to the surface! Finally been injury free for a good couple of months now (thanks to an extremely tough and brilliant physio who has given me a set of exercises with a weighted rucksack) I really really am hoping I can get back to more running/races this year!
I am also hoping that this year i can start to run with the poo who is now nearly 18 months old although tentative attempts so far have included grabbing onto my legion grim death and diagonally shooting across in front of me when I least expect it! Maybe I will take it slowly! :)

Hiya all,
Been a couple of weeks since I blogged last - and that's because of the weather!! ๐ I could have blogged how fed up I was freezing my face off walking the poos and walking to work in my rainbow wellies (and flamingo backpack - yes I looked li...

Hi all!ย
So another month is nearly over this year already - nearly springtime - hoo-blinking-ray!!

Hi all,
I've been a bit quiet the last week or so - mainly because being away with friends enjoying myself has worn me out!! ๐ I did manage to get a couple of runs in while I was away and a run with a non runner that has cemented in place something we ...
Afternoon all!
Yes, I finally gave in - i have sat on my hands (well my legs more like! ๐) for over 2 weeks now - just slowly plodding around with the poos and kettle belling every other day - I did get some acupuncture last Wednesday as well (think I ...
Morning! ย And a Very Happy New Year to all of you buzzers!! ๐

Hi all!

Hi all!

Well, after catching up with everyone over the weekend and seeing what you are all getting up to (mostly things that begin with T - threshold, tempo, torture!!) I decided that Tuesdays little 4 mile trot would not do! I haven't tried a torture...
