As I switch between Facebook and Instagram I'm faced with announcements of pregnancies, safe arrivals of newborns and daily reminders of their cute faces filling my newsfeed. Don't get me wrong, I hit like at every one of those adorable faces I see. But that's where it ends. I don't feel broody, I don't start [...]
I’m currently writing this high in the air, above the white fluffy marshmallow looking clouds taking breaks now and then to glance out the window on my right at the foreign but familiar lands that I hope to visit again soon. I couldn't think of a better way to clear ones head than to make [...]
I wanted to talk about the contraceptive implant and how I really, really didn't like it. Firstly, I have to say that we are all individual and obviously our bodies work differently*- but some may identify with what I am about to talk about and why I now feel in a very good place when it comes [...]
The big '3-0' is looming closer and closer, and I find myself thinking back to when I was a carefree teenager. I was lucky to have a simple pay as you go phone (but the credit never lasted long), the internet was dial up and it was slow. Painfully slow. But all I used it [...]

At last the evenings are lighter for longer, meaning a quick 5.15pm 4km is doable before the darkness hits. My favourite time to run is in the morning but unfortunately there's still time to go before it's light at 5.30am. Excited 😊
My second 10k race. This time last week, I took part in the 10k London Winter Run 2017. Being only my second 10k, I was both nervous and excited about completing it. When I did my first one nearly 2 years ago, I was no where as fit as I was now and I weighed a [...]
We've all been there. Especially around winter time. The germs flow round the confined office space overfilled with bodies. There's no escaping it! What sucks is for us runners who want to get out into the cold wintry conditions, desperate to feel the wind on our faces to the point where our eyes water. We [...]
Lately I've been experimenting with my TomTom Runner watch. I sometimes find that when I wear my watch out for a run, I am constantly checking it and the run doesn't feel as good. Is it psychological? Probably. When I don't wear it I feel better for it. I run how my body feels. But [...]
