It’s Monday, another day in Lockdown! Had a coffee then put my running gear on ready to do P.E. with Joe at 9am. So half an hour jumping around the kitchen apparently for fun. No doubt I’ll hurt tomorrow

Another day, another day not going out, unless it’s your once a day exercise. It’s cold and windy which puts you off going for a run. The morning starts of lovely as we FaceTimed our 3 year old grandaughter,

So day 4 and a similar start to yesterday, 9am P.E with Joe. I already hurt from yesterday so today is going to be tough. Thirty minutes later and that’s done, next my once a day outside exercise. I’m

So today I started with P.E with Joe Wicks at 9am. The body coach has started an exercise class Monday to Friday for kids as they aren’t at school at the moment. Everyone is talking about it, children,

One week ago my place of work closed due to this virus, I thought that was bad enough, now the government has told us we are not to go out unless it is absolutely necessary. We can go to the shop for

So do you use your annual holiday to have a rest from running, rest those muscles and enjoy the food and drink that comes with holidays?  Or do you see it as a new adventure, an excuse to go run and explore

2018 the year I ran my first marathon, the London Marathon! What an opportunity! I never ever thought that I would run a marathon but I did! The year started with a parkrun, New Year’s Day, up and out

Being a nanny who runs, it’s sometimes hard to fit everything in. My family always comes first so when I’m asked to babysit of course I jump at the chance to spend quality time with my babies. I work part

2017 became the year when running took on a more serious note.  I loved the feeling that I got after my first race so I booked lots more races.   I’d seen in a magazine a race advertised

After doing my first parkrun I became hooked on the buzz you get from running and challenging yourself to beat times. Parkrun isn’t a race but like most people I like to try and improve my times each week,

It’s been 3 years since I ran my first parkrun, wow that times gone quick and so much has happened. Never would I have thought that this would progress into me running races let alone a half marathon and

So with 3 weeks to till Manchester Marathon I wanted to get a 30k run in this week but it didn’t happen! I was going to do 2 runs in 1 day to get the mileage but that didn’t happen either. The weather

Wow it’s been 3 months since I last posted. Life seemed to take over and I just couldn’t seem to post any content. My running took a bit of a nose dive too. I started marathon training, following a plan

First run for nearly a week I haven’t done much over the last week as things have been busy. I became a nanny again. My daughter gave birth to my first grandson so I’ve been preoccupied with being there

Recovery Run That felt ok I think, ok not the best of times but I was taking it easy as it’s only been 3 days since the half marathon where I felt rubbish. The serious training needs to start after this

Second rest day and as you can see I haven’t done much. I had a short day at work then I came home as my little granddaughter was coming over. We played all afternoon till it was dinner time. The family

The Day After! I don’t know about all you other runners but I tend to hurt the day after a half marathon race and I’m just so tired. I got up early even though I was tired but I just couldn’t get back

Today was the Day As usual I was up early after a not so good nights sleep. Today was race day, my 3rd half marathon and my sons @supertraff 1st half marathon. It was a lovely morning, blue skies, sun

3 generations Happy parkrunday I love saturdays when I don’t have to work as I always go to parkrun, even if I’m away for the weekend I try and go. This week though I went to my local one, Gorleston cliffs

Me, my dad and my youngest son at our local parkrun.
