Sometimes there’s lots of things I want to do. My list today probably has 50 billion on it. I would love to be able to do one of them but I can’t. I’ve been ‘broken’ (as my husband calls it) since Sunday. Half way round Dublin marathon. Usually I know it’s coming but I didn’t […]

Inhuman
To me there are two types of people in the world, those who laugh at the X Factor auditions and those that don’t. I’m not the former. Before they get on TV these people (who sometimes seem to need psychological help rather than a publicist) go through auditions and are told by producers how wonderful […]
Video obsessed
So I’ve started something new. Videoing my runs. Not all runs, just ones that I think others may find interesting. On my cruise last week I did a video showing what it is like to run a lap of the ship as well as a few places that are great for running whilst you’re in […]
It’s not about me – The Tour and the uni
I don’t know much. Pretty much the only things I know anything about are politics and running. Knowing about politics hasn’t been that useful until recently. Whilst I understand politics I have to admit that I don’t usually pay that much attention to it. I don’t respect anyone who can’t make an argument without the […]
Thank you for giving me the craziest day...
I have been called inspirational a lot of times today. I am not bragging, I actually find it a little uncomfortable. I always think that inspirational people are extraordinary and I’m not doing anything that anyone else couldn’t do if they had the desire (and were crazy enough). A request for a retweet (I’m obsessed […]
#loveparkrun, don’t charge us for stayin
I hate cars on pavements. Seriously there’s nothing that gets me more angry so I wouldn’t ever mention it to me unless you want an hour long rant. My friend has just had a baby, she’s partial sighted so pavement parkers are bad for her at the best of time but she’s trying to be […]
1000 race miles in 2016 – #PoweredByPeop
Tuesday’s marathon was tough. It was too hot, my feet hurt (need new trainers) and was really tired. After the 4th of 8th laps I really starting to feel it but I didn’t have a choice but to push through. Just Giving have started a campaign called #poweredbypeople. I keep seeing it all over facebook […]

Running Blind (with my Fairy Godfathers)
There are some amazing people in the world and I’ve met quite a few of them thanks to running. Last year at the Tunnel 10k I got really ill. Running through the tunnel was like running through one of those things that spins around at fun fairs, I had no idea which way was up […]
Can’t go can’t go can’t go
Meant to be doing a 20 mile recce of part of the 47 miler today to test out my kit including the pretty new trail ultra shoes that just arrived today but instead am sat on my chair with an angry dog on my knee (he don’t like me going out) with can’t go can’t […]
