Race for Life 2014

Well, last time I ran Race for Life Twilight I said I might turn up late and skip the warm up, but I didn’t mean this late. Last weekend I ran Race for Life with the Norfolk Brawds at the Norfolk Showground, and the start was like every nightmare I ever had in the run

Trowse 10k 2014 – My Slowest 10k Yet!

Ah, it must be Easter Sunday, because once again I’m up at stupid o’clock in the morning to run the ridiculously early starting Trowse 10k. It doesn’t even start at 11am like lots of races. It starts at 9am. They don’t send your number out in advance either so you can just bimble up at

City of Norwich Half Marathon 2013

Saturday night I spent dreaming that I missed the start of the Norwich Half Marathon and had to get my friend to drive me up, an hour late, as I had to run anyway as so many people had sponsored me. Thankfully it was a dream, not a premonition, and Sunday morning saw me lined

Heading for a Half Marathon

Unusually I haven’t really mentioned the Norwich Half Marathon on here in great detail. Maybe I was hoping it would go away if I didn’t mention it, but it won’t and now it’s nearly here. I signed up for this all the way back last Christmas, but then of course I slacked off horribly all

Norwich Race for Life Twilight 2013

On Friday night I signed up to Run the Norwich Race for Life Twilight. I was running as part of a team called Chamber of Fishwives, with some friends of mine. One of the girls, Cyan, had lost several members of her family to cancer and was the instigator of the team, but there’s very

Marriotts Way 10k 2013

This time last year the Marriotts Way 10k was my first ever 10k race, which I was really nervous about. Fast forward a year and I’m busy being nervous about my first Half Marathon. How things change! Another thing that changed significantly this year was the weather. Last year I loved the Marriotts Way run,

Braydeston 5k 2013

And here we are again. The first race I wrote about last year, the one I signed up for when I first started running, the Braydeston 5k was back again yesterday. Once again, the weather was annoyingly beautiful. Not quite as baking as last year, but I’ll be honest, I might have preferred a little

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

Adnams Southwold 10k 2012

Yesterday was my second 10k race. The one with the free beer as it was sponsored by Adnams around the Suffolk village of Southwold where Adnams is based. As promised Sunday was bright and sunny, if cold, so pretty good running weather really. Southwold is about an hours drive from where I live, but there
