I’m tempting fate here, but May’s a spectacular month. Spring strutting its stuff, bank holiday weekends and loads of time outdoors. But…I have mixed emotions this year. Why? Because May 2018 is the last full month of my 30s – agh! Dwelling on that’s gonna freak me out. So just as well I have plenty […]
Weeks 4 & 5: #run10kadayinmay
Day 22: Monday 22nd May When I first thought about doing this challenge in May, I (naively) imagined I’d be running under clear blue skies enjoying the gentle warmth of spring.

Week 3: #run10kadayinmay
Twenty one days done. I might just do this. Here’s how I got on in week 3 of #run10kadayinmay: Day 15: Monday 15th May Today, my running club had organised a 5k trail run after work. So to reach my daily 10k target, I snuck in an early morning 5k as well. What a day […]

Week 1: #run10kadayinmay

My next challenge: #run10kadayinmay
It’s two months since I ran my first ultra marathon. With no challenge lined up after it, I’ve been floundering like a beached whale. So to get my arse in gear, I’ve set myself a new challenge. And best of all, it rhymes. #run10kadayinmay Yes, come rain, shine or hangover, I’m gonna run 10km every […]
