Hello! It’s been 3 weeks since I moved into my new flat. The days have been a whirlwind of unpacking, trips to Argos and IKEA, and getting used to the tram commute to work. Consequently there has been little time for blogging, added to which I didn’t have a computer and only got Internet connected … More First Races of 2014: Using Races for Long Runs
Last Saturday morning dawned bright, sunny and crisp – the perfect weather for running! I headed over to Clapham Common to join my fellow Team Naturally Run members for a festive fun run, complete with elf outfit 🙂 The Cafod Nativity Run is an annual event, where participants dress up as a “Christmassy character” and run (or … More Happy Elf-mas! : Cafod Nativity Run
Mark and I have just got back from a fun week camping on the Isle of Wight – we left pretty early on Monday morning to catch the ferry from Portsmouth (it’s cheaper if you leave at an unearthly hour!) and then my phone decided to die whilst we were away, so I was properly … More I Am A Duathlete : London Duathlon Recap
My third 10k of 2013! I signed up for this race way back in January, enticed by the promise of free tea and cake at the finish line (!), and a fun sounding route around Finsbury Park. The course was actually 2 laps of the rather hilly park, but at least you knew where the … More Women’s Running 10k : Race Recap
Last weekend I took part in the inaugural Color Run around Wembley in London – a 5k “race” with stations every kilometre where runners are suitably covered in coloured powder until they complete the course looking like a walking paintbox! Before It’s a massive novelty race and you go into it purely for the … More Getting Colourful! : The London Color Run Race Recap
This was the second year I ran the Race For Life, after taking part in the Norwich Twilight 5k last year, which was an awesome experience and my first “race”. This year I managed to persuade some of my work colleagues to participate in the Richmond Park 5k, and they really embraced the challenge, even … More Race for Life 5k : Richmond Park
I really wasn’t sure about doing this race. I felt tired, achey, really unprepared plus it was raining and all the people I knew who were going to be running it pulled out/couldn’t make it etc. Not a great start… It was also logistically quite difficult to get to being on the north side of … More Wimbledon Common 5k : Race Recap
Nike We Own The Night 10k – my second 10k ever, and number 2 in 2 weeks, how did it go? Well, in short I smashed my time from She Runs Windsor and ran all the way! I’d say that was a pretty successful night 🙂 Being part of Leah’s “Team Naturally Run” was what … More Nike We Own The Night 10k : Review
Last Monday I ran my first ever 10k! I signed up for the She Runs Windsor 10k quite a while ago in January as one of my New Year’s Resolutions, and it rolled around pretty quick! I was feeling quite apprehensive about it beforehand, I hadn’t really done enough training due to being away with … More She Runs Windsor Review: My First 10k!
On Saturday I took part in the Energizer Night Run around Battersea Park. I’d signed up to the 5k as a warm-up to my first 10k in May, and managed to persuade one of my work colleagues to do it with me 🙂 The weather was cold, grey and rainy but the atmosphere totally made … More Light Up The Night: Energizer Night Run
