I’ve just spent a week away learning about all things leadership. And what a week. Inspirational speakers, workshops, new ideas, time outdoors, mindfulness, team sessions, not to mention meeting so many great people. I’m lucky to have been given this opportunity through work. But what did I learn? The big stuff My notebook’s full of […]
Signed up for my first 100 mile ultra marathon
A few years ago, if someone told me I’d be running a 100 mile ultra marathon, I would not have believed them. Absolutely no chance. Driving that distance is a pain in the arse, let alone running.
