Happy (Almost) Halloween! This year is one of those fortuitous years that Halloween falls on a weekend, meaning everyone can party like crazy without having to get up and go to work the next day. Halloween parties in other years tend to get moved to a weekend either side, but it’s just not the same

Marriots Way 10k 2015

I am officially naming this run the one in which I gave up chasing a Personal Best. I didn’t do the Marriots Way 10k in 2014, despite having paid for my spot, because I was exhausted after having organised Norwich Cocktail Week and had failed to book a spot on the shuttle bus, which made
