Cross-country race at Manor Farm

The second race of the CC6 series took place last Sunday at Manor Farm. I was a little nervous about it as my run at parkrun on Saturday had been terrible. My shins had been in severe pain and I was worried that I had run too much this week. Malcolm and Jill had kindly agreed to give me a...

A new cross country league race

I did my first cross country race since early 2017 today. I was pleased that I went out and did it, but the photos show just how much weight I’ve put on in the last couple of years. I’ve decided that I’m going to try to do all of the CC6 races this season. My goals I had three goals...

Big round up

It feels like ages since I’ve had a chance to blog. Christmas was hectic and baby M takes up an awful lot of time (who knew it was possible to sit doing nothing but watch a baby for hours!)

I’ve finally got my running mojo back :-D

It’s been a strange week for me. After spending months and months thinking that I would never get back to my former level of fitness, there is actually a glimmer of hope on the horizon. I’ve come back from my training holiday with a new enthusiasm for running and an unwillingness to accept my self-imposed limitations. I’ve taken part in...

What have I been doing since my holiday?

I’ve been so busy in the fortnight since we’ve been back from Portugal that I’ve not been able to update my blog as much as I’d hoped. Here’s a quick rundown of what I’ve been up to.

Heartbreak and my first swimming lesson

Well, it’s been a few days since I last posted as I’ve been so busy. Heartbreak Half The big event on my birthday was the Heartbreak Half – a 14 mile race out in the New Forest that is known for its steep hills. The course had been altered slightly from last year’s route, but that didn’t make it any...
