Hopefully you’ve read Part 1 of my London Marathon experience. If not, it’s probably worth having a quick glance over before reading this post. So, I was finally there, all ready to go. I felt good, but deep down was a little anxious about whether my recent foot injury would…

Spoiler alert!! I did it!!! It’s taken me a while to get around to writing this, mainly because I’ve experienced a whole array of emotions and I think I needed a little time to process the experience. A week ago today I still was sure if I’d be able to…

It’s two days to go until I run the London Marathon and I’m getting anxious now, so I’ve decided to try and occupy my mind by writing a couple of blog posts. I’ve been off work today and mostly been at home, so my mind has had time to actually…

I didn’t manage to do my three runs this week due to working away on the Tuesday night. Instead I did 4 miles on Thursday night, followed by 14 miles on Saturday, which went well. For my long run, I decided to run 5 miles to our local Park Run,…

It’s been pretty quiet on the blog lately. We went away for half term, work’s been pretty full on and trying to squeeze in marathon training too has meant that something has had to give and unfortunately it’s been my blogging. I can’t promise it won’t happen again as it…

Another good week, although the weather has been getting to me a little. It’s cold and wet and I’m finding the mid-week evening runs hard. I’m okay once I get out the door, it’s just I’d much rather eat my dinner and snuggle up with Simon on the sofa! I’ve…
