Outfit Post: Leopard is a Neutral

These shoes are the first piece of leopard print clothing I ever owned. I never really thought of myself as a leopard print kind of a gal. Then, all the way back in 2013 these shoes were my first tentative step (ha! See what I did there?) into leopard print. Then Lipstick Lori managed to

Women in Sport: My Story, the Early Years.

Why don’t Women play sport more? That’s a question that gets bandied around a fair bit. Every now and then someone like Helen Grant will pop up and suggest the answer is more money spent on sports that allow Girls to be “pretty”. Or introducing Zumba in schools rather than making them do all those

Why Meditation isn’t about Relaxation

I have become a bit of a cheerleader for practice of meditation over the last few years. Mindfulness and Meditation have become buzz words, but many people still misunderstand what they really are. Recently I was reading an article with the click baity headline “I meditated every day for 30 days, and here’s what happened”.

This Week I….

Well, this Sunday is looking very different to last Sunday. Where as last Sunday was healthful 10k runs and early starts, this Sunday is all raging hangovers and sleeping till 11am. I’m planning to include a large amount of junk food in the rest of my day, like, a really large amount. And probably some

A few weeks ago I got an email from Crabbies asking me

Run Norwich 2017 #RN17

Not to spoil the end of a good story, but I totally made it round the hilly 10k course of Run Norwich yesterday without bursting into tears, walking, or suffering any major melt downs like last year. As seems to be a consistent story in my race reports, I absolutely meant to train REALLY well

This Week I….

Well, hi there. This weeks post is scheduled, I wrote it on Saturday night (so lets hope that nothing interesting happens in the next 12 hours, huh?) The reason for the scheduling, rather than using my new skill of posting from my phone, is that this morning, at the very moment this publishes, I am

Training For Your First 10K

This Sunday I have a 10k Race coming up. Running these days is an add on to my training, one that I enjoy, but it’s no longer my main focus. When I originally signed up I had lofty plans to train properly and aim for a PB, but my Roller Derby schedule and work got
