75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
One thing and then right back to running, I swear. I had no idea that after 16 years together the act of getting married in a simple, low-key ceremony would make us feel or act differently. But here we are a bit more than a week out we’re still all kissy-faced and staring into each... Continue Reading →
Alright so if you’re a lifter feel free to laugh at me, because you should, But getting (catching?) sore abs messes with my head and somehow always seems to catch me by surprise. You can tell me that lifting weights is the best cross training for runners and you’d be right but I still prefer... Continue Reading →

I took this photo a few weeks ago when I was too late getting out to take a good one. In the end I didn't even post my run that night. It's just a quick shot while I was still running. It was a really hot Sunday night and the beach was still really packed... Continue Reading →
Not so much now but in the past I thought really hard all day and at some point I just wanted to stop thinking. I think that informed my TV viewing habits then and now because they are terrible. Sure I’ve watched the good critically acclaimed stuff too like weeds, sex and the city and... Continue Reading →
This week I’m breaking one of my training rules that I'm always going on about, I’m running the Navy 10k! Racing while training isn’t a great idea because it can take too much out of the tank. I signed up for it thinking I would go for a PR but now I’m not so sure,... Continue Reading →
Anxiety is a bit of a buzzword right now and dealing with it is a big part of many people’s day to day life. Whether you suffer from anxiety day to day or not you might get more than a little anxious on race day. Even if anxiety is something you effectively manage on your... Continue Reading →
