Santa Fun Run

Santa Fun Run

Things got rather festive in Henley this weekend. Tom and I ran the Henley Santa Fun Run this morning. 2 miles from the Rowing museum, past the train station and back again. The race included a number of children, families, dogs and locals out for a little run in the...

Can Fake Eyelashes Withstand an Active Lifestyle?

Can Fake Eyelashes Withstand an Active Lifestyle?

I've always wondered how so many people seemed to have amazing eyelashes, questioning if they put on stick-on eyelashes every single morning, or just had a really good mascara. Turns out, they were getting extensions, and now I'm in on the secret. A lot of my friends...

Come and Run in Henley

I had such an incredible response to my post 'Putting Yourself Out There' and it encouraged me so much to continue organising events, even when I'm fearful of the response. So here is the info for my Henley run. The details... When: 10am, for 10.15 start Sunday 11th...

Why Am I Getting Slower?

Why Am I Getting Slower?

I've run 6 marathons, with an ultimate goal of earning a BQ - for those of you not obsessed with marathons, that's a 3.35 (or faster) qualifying time for my age group. I felt well on my way, running a 3.49 in the Berlin marathon in 2014, feeling the best I have in my...

Rock N Roll Las Vegas 10K

Rock N Roll Las Vegas 10K

My legs won't turn over any faster, and I'm clocking a solid 10.30 mile. I've told coach Mary that I will run SLOWWWW, the only way I convinced her to let me run the Rock N Roll 10K, and it seems like my body won't let me move any speedier anyway. How on earth...

Marathon Recovery

Marathon Recovery

I got away lightly this time around. No black toenails, no chafing and only one gross blister - I'll spare you the photo. Sadly my coach Mary wasn't so lucky! Plus I've been wearing my compression gear from SKINS non-stop to ensure my muscles recovered in time for two...

My First Trail Race – CRUK Tough10 Box Hill

My First Trail Race – CRUK Tough10 Box Hill

There's tough trail races, and then there's the toughest of Cancer Research's Tough10 - the Box Hill 10k. It becomes even tougher when you do it with a hangover. Trust me on that. As part of my ambassadorship with CRUK, I was given race entry and was able to recruit a...
