Can you help?

Just as I thought the pavements/sidewalks were safe it started snowing again today!
The footpaths aren’t gritted and having tried to run on them and nearly broken my neck, I have tried running in the road.  I usually prefer road running as there are less pace breakers and on the whole …

New Year..New Challenge! (yes, another one)

I thought I’d celebrate the New Year by entering a road race to keep me motivated, training on track for the London Marathon and to give me some clue as to what happens when running in a large organised event.
So here’s my choice:
I’m entered for the world’s first Kilomathon!

Tree-mendous!

At this time of year you can see a dozen or more Christmas trees as you walk down any residential street.  The darkness of a winters afternoon is brightened by the glow of festive decorations and Christmas trees in a mass of front rooms all lit up and on display.  …

What’s on your wish list?

Like every sport or hobby, it’s easy to get carried away buying the latest-greatest must-haves and spending more money than you have.  If you like running or you know someone who does, the basics are fairly straightforward: a good pair of shoes (if you’re local, see Advance Performance, if not, …

Not Sydney Australia

For those of you who follow me on Facebook and Twitter, you’ll be rather familiar with a source of trouble, exasperation and fun in my life.  There’s no-one like him…I introduce Sydney..my chocolate Australian Labradoodle!

Ok, so it’s Winter!

Having done a treadmill session at the Physio to round off last week, this week’s training started with a short 4 miler.  No-one likes Mondays, well no-one I know, and having dropped two very reluctant children off at school it was time to head out and stretch those limbs.  One …

And now for something completely different …

This should really be titled ‘Off-Topic Wednesday’!  I couldn’t resist sharing these with you.  This has nothing to do with Marathon running or fundraising.  Sometimes a change of scenery does you good – Clark Little’s stunning photographs are amazing art .. do have a look at his website for more …
