Mo Run 2012
So as well as being Remembrance Day today, it was also the first London Movember Day 2012 run. I decided to sign up last week on the basis that events focus my mind and my training, and consequently the more of them the better. Unfortunately at this end of the season, there aren’t that many […]
triathlon for dummies
so … I signed up for the Virgin London Triathlon. And then I realised what I’d done. And shat my pants. I can’t swim in the open water. I haven’t got a road bike. We all know what my running is like … ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH It’s okay though, I’ve purchased some essential reading, got a training plan, […]
Virgin DOathlon
hello, here I am again … sorry about the radio silence! I’d love to explain that I’ve had really good reasons for being absent but actually it’s just been summer, I’ve been busy and I haven’t had anything exciting to blog about anyway. Until today! My gym, Virgin Active (which I have to say I […]

Gutted. Until, that is, I […]
nike british 10k
every year, usually on the most sweltering day of the year (and yes my foreign friends, anything above 27*C is sweltering to me!), I do a 10k run for charity. Every year, without fail, I “forget” to train … and every year, on the day, I moan, groan and swear I’m never doing it again. […]
pest on a pole
As I mentioned in my last post, I was lucky enough to spend five days in Budapest in May on a pole dancing vacation. I wasn’t that keen on going initially, but my friend Sarah, who’s an A.MAZ.ING pole dancer, heard about a trip being organised by Pole Passion and bullied me into going convinced […]
race for life
okay, so one more before I shoot off to pole … just to space them out a little! In early June, my friend Nicky told me she was doing the Race for Life about ten days later, and suggested that I should join her. I’ve never run with Nicky before, but we both did the […]
automattic’s worldwide wordpress 5k
wow, just the title’s a mouthful! When I got the email about the Automattic’s WorldWide WordPress 5K, I thought it was an awesome idea! I hate running, give me weights any day, but I like to work on my weaknesses (or I like to think I do!) and I thought I’d give it a whirl. […]
