Over the course of lockdown, with the increased running I have found time to do, I have learned several lessons with regards to my running: Go slower-the only person I am running for is myself and this period has given me a chance to increase the length of my runs. As a result, I amContinue reading “Running Realisations”

For the past 24 years and 354 days stretching (my reluctant muscles) and I have had a tough time. Yes, you are right that is a shameless plug for the fact that I have nearly been on this planet for a quarter of a century. I reckon stretching has got some weird sense of satisfactionContinue reading “Why can’t we be friends?”

Just kidding, it only took me the whole of last week to complete. But in a shocking turn of events I only fell once. I know what you are all thinking, I must be the new Paula Radcliffe! Also, holey leggings are the latest running chic (in case you didn’t know) which may or mayContinue reading “I ran a marathon”

The reason for this is because this is something I still struggle with every day. Just thought I would take you through a few examplesContinue reading “Comparison”

Over the years I have come to realise that there are a wide range of people out there who will feel they have something to say about my cerebral palsy (CP). I personally have no problem with people asking about my CP as long as they are interested and engaged in what I have toContinue reading “People’s Perception”

Last weekend I was invited along to join a charity gym class at Barry’s Bootcamp. It is one of those classes that I have heard loads of people feeling very proud of themselves for completing so I was excited to see what all the hype was about. So how did it go… Did I survive?Continue reading “Barry’s Bootcamp”

The photo says it all really… I must be mad although the grin on my face says otherwise. Shout out to the giant puddles, super muddy tracks and that perfectly located rock which had a lot of fun with my elbow. Just keeps the running exciting which I am clearly thrilled about (as was MumContinue reading “Winter Running”
