Trowse 10k 2013

Well, I made it back alive. I’ll be honest, it felt like touch and go at times! When I signed up for the Trowse 10k I had visions of a beautiful spring morning countryside jaunt. In reality of course it’s bitterly cold, in fact there were snow flurries part way round, and the clocks went

Shock Absorber Gym Bra

Last year, in pursuit of a good running bra, I bought the Shock Absorber Run Bra. Shock Absorber have just released a new design and sent me one to try out. The new design is called the Gym Bra. In shape it is much the same as the Run Bra, with it’s “leave the clip

#janathon Day Thirty One – THE END!

Well, that’s it guys, it’s all over! Thanks for your support and for a months worth of blogs, but now I have to remember how to do something other than think about running a mile a day in wind, ice, rain, snow, sleet, sun and my pyjamas. I set out to do 1.5 miles this

#janathon Day Thirty – The Sneaky Run

Sneaky run in daylight during the afternoon when I should be working? Oh ok then, I AM self employed. I guess my boss isn’t always so bad after all. My regular running partner, otherwise known as my husband, isn’t expecting to finish work till 7pm, so I thought I’d sneak out in daylight and make

#janathon Day Twenty Nine

So close! Today was another fairly cursory run. It’s incredibly windy out, which is kind of fun when it’s behind you, not so much coming back in the other direction. It’s also that sort of rainy where it’s not quite rain, the air is just full of water. This rapidly turning into a daily weather

#janathon Day Twnety Seven – The day the pavements returned…..

There were pavements. I ran 2.5  miles in a short loop. occasionally there was ice, but generally there was crisp air and bright sunshine. Frankly for January, so far, it rocked. So, not too bad a pace, only icy in bits and sunshine. Woo! Janathon! Bring. It. On. 5. Days. to. Go

#janathon Day Twenty Six – The Run of Terror

“Oh”, I thought. “The Sun is shining, that must have put paid to some of that ice” Wrong. I was quite hungover today. Note last nights 2am blog post. It was the sort of hangover where unless there’s something really urgent to be done you’re still in bed at lunch time. I was still in

#janathon Day Twenty Five

Well, it’s 2am on day 26 and I just remembered to blog about day 25. I suspect that bodes badly for day 26. We returned from the dryish if icy Kent streets to find Norfolk still under an inch thick layer of ice. So, indoor run it was. I did exactly a boring indoor mile.
