You know when you know full well that you are woefully under prepared for something but you do it anyway? That was me on Sunday at Run Norwich 2016. Last year I took part in the first Run Norwich 10k, and enjoyed it so much that I decided to run it again this year. These
I find it hard to believe that 2016 is the 4th year I’ve run the Trowse 10k. It’s become something of a tradition now to get up stupidly early on Easter Sunday for the 9am start, then be in the pub by lunch time celebrating. In 2013 I ran in snow flurries, in 2014 I

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
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
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
