So, who’s been up with me all night? That was the craziest Erswilder launch I’ve ever seen. I did pretty much every UK stockist i think (well the ones on my guide list) and i managed to get a few things I wanted (and quite a lot that i didn’t but i have a brooch […]
Another week, another launch. Care Bears again but this time it’s Erstwilder. Erstwilder are an Australian company that make really pretty Acrylic jewelry and the occasional matching scarfs. I’ve been collecting for a few years ever since i saw an amazing Flamingo necklace that i had to have. They do a new release every couple […]
When I was young I was terrified of flying monkeys along with Miss Hannigan and the Nazis amongst a billion other things including probably my own shadow. So much so that I think my biggest fear was, and still is, fear itself. Just the thought of being scared terrifies me (all you have to do […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) over the last few weeks. Before getting sick I wasn’t a very positive person but I think my illness and running marathons has really changed my outlook on life. I didn’t realise how much this was true until just before my latest cruise. Holidays […]
Today I had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people at Warrington Disability Partnership as part of my 52 marathons in 52 weeks challenge. When I decided to run the 52 in 52 I knew it would be a one off huge challenge for me. For some crazy people I know, running 26.2 miles […]
On Sunday at Bath Half marathon the last 248 runners didn’t get a medal or t-shirt. The race had 15,000 entrants but ordered based on a dropout rate that assumes that at least 2,500 runners won’t turn up. A risky business, I assume to reduce overheads, increase profits and limit the risk of being left […]
You know when you did a race two years ago and you’re still getting junk mail. As i do Loveto.run and Medal.watch I keep myself subscribed to it all for race dates and possibly medal reveals. This is why I got an email from Brighton Marathon today even though I ran it in 2015 and […]
Yes, that’s right, it opened yesterday for entry into the draw and will remain open until the 17th February. I vowed not to do any marathons in 2017 after doing so many last year (but still next to nothing compared to some of the 100 marathon club people). 23 in a year was hard work for […]
I was looking at old photos yesterday and it got me thinking about change. Photos I took years ago that I once thought where pretty good look mediocre to me now. The photo hasn’t changed, just my perspective based on experience. At the same time you can also find hidden gems that you never even […]
