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 […]
The Diary: April
In early Feb, Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his little burrow in Gobbler’s Knob, saw his shadow, and prognosticated 6 more weeks of winter. He bloody nailed it. Winter was eternal.

Week 1: #run10kadayinmay
And so it began. Week 1 of my #run10kadayinmay challenge. Here’s how I got on: Day 1: Monday 1st May I’m a bit of a neat freak, so I secretly loved knowing my 10km a day in May challenge started on a Monday. Unfortunately, it wasn’t just any Monday. It was Bank Holiday Monday. So […]
