#figleavesforgem

There’s something elating about getting up early on a Saturday Morning. Said no chubby runner EVER. What is elating though is running with dinosaur pants on, wearing a Hygge band to bring more attention to your egg shaped fivehead and wearing a bright yellow jacket. Why I need to be seen and reflect all the … Continue reading #figleavesforgem →

BREAKING NEWS! I contracted Man Flu!!

Joe had this terrible illness last week. He was actually dying. His nose fell off, his bones had withered, he had lost all sight and his lungs had become home to tiny sharks who were chewing and biting his throat, causing him to cough his way through his slumber.

Running to the sound of Nature

My anxiety has been quite bad recently. If anyone says my name I get overwhelmed with negative thoughts and I start to feel like I have done something wrong.

New Day. New Improvements

Yesterday I wasn’t up for running on Sunday. Zumba class was cancelled and I just felt so down. I hadn’t been out for 2 weeks and with Sunday on the horizon I needed to go out.

Feeling Like a Let Down

It’s the Burnley 10km this weekend and I’m not prepared for it at all. I was doing really well with my running and preparing for it but I had a panic attack a few weekends ago. I did write a blog about it, but I got scared about posting it so it is in the … Continue reading Feeling Like a Let Down →

Goodbye Couch 2 5km

Last night on my outing I ended up ditching Couch 2 5km. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love it, and it has helped me so much on this journey and I would encourage anyone who is new to running to download it and work their way through it. But I had had enough. During … Continue reading Goodbye Couch 2 5km →
