Preparation for Gosport Half Marathon

The weekend started with parkrun. As I’ve got a slight niggle (hamstring/glute), I decided that it would be more sensible to just watch. It was good to meet up with Ros who has just got a lovely new bike. Hopefully she’s planning lots of adventures. Tomorrow is Gosport Half Marathon. I’m hoping that I can beat my time from last...

Why do I keep entering crazy events?

I’ve had such a busy weekend that I’ve not had enough time to even take photos! Long runs I asked Coach Ant whether I could swap my planned sessions for this weekend, as I’ve not been able to catch up with many friends recently. He agreed, so I was able to do my ‘long’ run on Saturday morning. I call...

Day 3 of Pyrenees Tri Camp with Embrace Sports

There was a slight change to the original schedule. We had already visited the sports shop, so the core class was moved to Saturday. After eating some porridge, some of the group decided to cycle to the lake. I was still injured, so I made the sensible decision to go to the lake in the minibus and I didn’t swim...

Season’s best for running

My running has not been going well recently (by recently, I mean the last two years), but I am determined to do something about it, so now that Brighton Marathon is over, I’ve rehauled my training schedule and have started planning for Challenge Weymouth 70.3. I have the slightly optimistic goal of finishing the run in under 2:15, which is...

Last long run before Brighton

Here is today’s IDEAfit photo a day image to fit with the theme of ‘gratitude’. I am so grateful that I’ve got the most amazing husband. We’ve lived together for almost 16 years and I still think he’s (almost) perfect. Plus he takes me on dates to the ice-cream parlour! I’ve been a bit negative recently, but I’m trying to...

Ideafit Photo A Day Challenge

Apologies – I’ve been so busy with work this month that I’ve got lots of part-written blog posts and very few completed posts… you might find things are appearing out of order. I originally started writing this post on 8th March!!! Ok, so as we all know, I’ve been really slack about blogging recently, so I’ve been looking for ways...

Weekend round up

It’s been another hectic weekend, where I’ve managed to cram in an awful lot and have no idea how I’ve managed it. I’ll try to keep this post briefer than the last one, but brevity is not my forte! The Triathlon Show was a great way to start my weekend. Triathlon Show A while back, I answered a Triathlon Industry...

What goes down…

Stuart and I decided that as we were in Cornwall today and a parkrun has finally started (Lanhydrock parkrun), we ought to go and try it out. It’s at Lanhydrock, a lovely National Trust property that is about 40 miles away from where my mum lives and not very far at all from Eden Project. Getting to Lanhydrock We had to...

Sharing the shoelaces

My Saturday started with a parkrun on The Common. As I’ve got my first race of the year tomorrow, I just wanted to take it easy, so I offered to pace over 30 minutes on Twitter and Facebook. The lovely Nat responded. She’s a really inspirational lady who ran throughout her last pregnancy and who actually improved during that time!...

This might be the most exciting thing has has ever happened to me…

OMG OMG OMG! That was what went running through my mind when I opened up laptop this morning, but I didn’t have much time to ponder the contents of the SOAS Racing email that I had read as I was going to parkrun. Not just any parkrun, but Eastleigh parkrun, which has returned (for three weeks only) to its birthplace...
