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 […]
is that the way you run?
ah yes, the everlasting problem of running. The thing is, I hate running. Within seconds, I’m tomato red, my breath is coming only in screaming gasps, and I’m tomato red. I can’t run faster than a slow jog to save my life, and for some reason my left thumb always points upwards in a strange rictus thumbs-up […]

as I mentioned, 2012 is very much a travelling year for me, and I’ve been lucky enough to see quite a bit of the UK as well as getting abroad. Of course, we’ve had such a great summer here that it’s been a really good choice to stay here … HA! One of the trips […]
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. […]
rest n relaxation
happy bank holiday monday! I do love a good three-day weekend … and I’ve just worked out that since I’m off on vacation on the 16th, and we have May Day AND the May Bank Holiday this month plus that gorgeous Queenie’s given us a day off for the jubilee (I knew she’d come in […]
four … hun … dreds …
You know I moan sometimes about my personal trainer not kicking me hard enough? Well that seems to have all changed with this week’s workout. Four hundreds. Basically, it’s all very simple … you hit the timer, and as fast as you can, you have to do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and 100 […]
happy pole-dancing day!
It’s National Pole Dancing Day! That’s right! National POLE-DANCING DAY! It’s so so nice that we have such a thing now, because when I started pole dancing all the way back in 2003, it was practically unheard of. In fact, before the first time I did it, I’d never heard of it! However in September 2003, […]
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. […]
