Fun Friday Links

Happy Friday everyone! 🙂

Hope you have all had a good week.

I'm being terribly stressed and terribly excited today because I have a lot going on! Haha.

1. This Saturday (tomorrow!) is the Energizer Night Run which I'm really looking forward to, even if it looks like rain! It should be a great atmosphere. If you see me come and say Hi!

2. Then I'm going for a couple of days away with my lovely boyfriend to the New Forest which should be fun 🙂
3. And pretty much straight after that I'm going to Spain on a training course with work- it will be field based mostly so looking at lots of rocks in the Pyrenees!
4. I'm staying in Barcelona for a couple of days after the training course just because I've never been before, and wanted to check out the city 🙂
5. And all the while trying to keep running and training for the She Runs Windsor 10k and Nike We Own the Night 10k at the beginning of May- eeek!

Better get packing! Any tips for running in a foreign country?

Anyway, here are some lovely links for you lovely people:

I'm attending Write This Run at Hampton Court in May and they tweeted this morning that we'll get to test out some On Running shoes as part of the day- exciting! Here's a great review by Red Wine Runner- running on clouds sounds glorious! 🙂

Some great news about Park Run, and getting the future generation of runners involved. The couple of times I've done a Park Run I've been overtaken a lot by young kids! Junior Park Run is a brilliant idea to get more people interested in running.
I'm looking at participating in the Weybridge Running Festival- it's pretty much on my doorstep so there's no excuse! Plus you get to run through Whiteley Village, a private estate containing 225 acres of mature woodlands and the UK’s largest collection of Arts & Crafts buildings, which is usually closed to the public.

I'm definitely getting more into Yoga and this free Qi Yoga For Runners download seems perfect to stretch out my legs post-run, or on any day really.
Four books about running which are on my wishlist- I finished Born To Run recently and The Lazy Runner, so am looking for another running related read!
And a non-running related link, this book sounds intriguing! Imagine if you could taste people's emotions, how strange... There's a non-spoiler review here.
