*I was kindly sent some items to review for this post* I run. I am not an expert runner, and I don’t make any claims to being an expert on running. I run for my mental health, as well as to allow me to be able to eat cake. I don’t look glamorous when I […]

I have started running again. I haven’t run in 12 months, a year. I was told to stop running this time last year, when we came to the conclusion that my knee was utterly knackered and needed the big surgery and I was told that running was damaging what was left of my knee too […]

I’m not a professional runner, more of a hobby jogger. I don’t claim to have hit any major running milestones or targets. I don’t run to prove anything to anyone. (Yes, I know, I sound like a sports gear advert, I am getting to the point, I promise) I love running, though. It’s my therapy. […]

READ MOREI wrote a brief blog post about signing myself up for a 10km race, which I plan to run, in September of this year. The Richmond River Run to be exact. Given that I am trying to lose some weight, and am not in any great shape at the moment, due to a serious knee […]
READ MORESo this is me… OK, it’s not me, it’s an avatar of me, I had fun playing and creating this on Doppelme So what? You are now asking. So this is me, a bit frumpy looking, trying to grow my hair out, because I would like it longer than the current cut, in my […]
READ MOREI think? Or at least that is what my converter thingo on my BlackBerry told me last night, as I rather foolishly signed myself up for a 10km river run, in Richmond, in September of this year. I will be raising money for Myeloma UK, which is the charity I am fundraising for on my […]
READ MOREI don’t like change, I like things to stay the same. I get very anxious when change is in the air, particularly when I am not in control of everything. I’m a control freak, I know this. I also know that sometimes change is good and is needed, and is unavoidable! So, with that profound […]
