One Step At A Time
Running is taking 'One Step At A Time' and that's all there is to it.
Some take their steps a little faster than others, but we all get there in the end.
My stats this year are:
5km - 31 mins 17 secs
10km - 1 hour 6 mins 48 secs
Half Marathon - 2 hours 28 mins 5 secs
So my steps are a little on the slow side.
This year I am concentrating on Half Marathons and finishing with the Derby 10 mile in November.
I am determined to get closer to my Half marathon PB of 2 hours 21 minutes.
Follow my journey with it's many downs, and hopefully some highs as I train to chase my dream.

It's unfamiliar territory for everyone. We are allowed to exercise once a day, but how long will that last? I am trying to go out each day for a run, while I can. Ironically I had been unwell since August with various colds and a nasty dose of flu ov...
I started the year with a New Years Day Parkrun. It found it incredibly difficult. I was still recovering from that flu type virus which has been going round. I would have liked around 35 minutes, but it was 37. I wasn't dissapointed. I had run the ...
I rather stupidly signed up for a 1000 mile challenge in January. Less than 100 miles per month. How hard could it be?
EXTREMELY
I plodded through the year and reached the beginning of September and had a target of 3.5 miles a day. Still doable ...
I ran up a hill today. My marker was a letter box on a post. It gave me something to aim for. Got to it earlier than expected. It was a ma in a red jacket.
The last race of the year and it was the Derby 10 mile on a different course due to the floods the previous week.
I ran this with Mum, partly due to the course which had a number of switchbacks and she finds this difficult. She is has lost part of ...
It's been a weird summer. I haven't managed to run any PBs, but enjoyed the races l have entered. I missed a half marathon, because I felt under pressure to do it. I went back to 80-20 running which I really enjoy doing. It's mainly easier runni...

5km Summer Series Race 1
I love these races. They started last year, but there are not many people who run them.
Two laps of a park. This used to be Darley Parkrun, but it was moved because the locals didn't like the runners 'r...
The week after my last half marathon, if I could find an excuse not to run, I used it. so after six days of not running I attended a session run by my local running shop. It is an interval session and I have been going for about three years. I have a...
I have run this race twice before. In 2017 on a very cold, rainy March. All I can remember is Mum meeting me as I finished and apologising for throwing away the coffee she had purchased, because her hands were shaking so much from the cold she had spi...
I started running in 2013. My first Parkruns were over 50 minutes, my first 10km over 1 1/2 hours and a Half Marathon just under 3 1/2 hours. I have got faster, but I am still near the back of the field in races and would love a sub hour 10km, just on...
