How do I stay motivated? It’s a question I get asked a lot. How do I get up every week and clock up more and more foot to pavement time? How did someone who used to only run to get away from exercise end up running marathons? How through rain, snow and hangovers I have kept … Continue reading Moving Targets
“10K must be like a walk in the park for a marathon runner” said no one, ever. I am a runner with a lot of habits/superstitions. They are there to ease my mind in the build up and ensure a smooth race. Including: arriving early, eating right, drinking a healthy amount of water, laying out … Continue reading Respect the Road
This is by far the hardest post I have had to write, mainly as I know that the words I tie together into sentences will do no justice to what I want to tell you about. Regardless of this I have decided to tell you about Pamela James, my grandmother who died this week at … Continue reading The words we tie together in tribute
This week I got a message from WordPress telling me that I have been blogging for five years. To celebrate my half a decade of blogging, I'm going to introduce two new features to my blog and the posts that go on it.

This quote has been floating around my head for the last month and since I have been tragically bad at writing a blog post lately I thought I would discuss the idea of chapters in one’s life and the stories we create. “I’ll be a story in your head. But that’s ok: we’re all stories, … Continue reading For we are all stories in the end
Shamefully I have been back from Paris for a few weeks now but haven’t really found the time to sit down and actually write about the experiences whilst in my favourite city. I have been many times over the past few years so I won’t dribble on about how tall the Eiffel Tower is or … Continue reading After Charlie Hebdo
So here's to another year gone by, without a doubt 2014 has been the best of my life (so far). With the compilation of moving in to my own little place in the Cotswolds, my photography really taking off and well just about everything else you could think of going rather swimmingly. Anyway, I will … Continue reading My 2014 – 12 months, 12 songs
I don't know if it is just me but I have always been fascinated by the ways in which readers find their way on to my blog. For those of you who are new to writing your own blog you can see what people type into their search engines when they stumble upon your blog … Continue reading The Strange Ways People Find Your Blog
Coffee and selfies, one of them is my all time love and the other word makes me shudder. I hope you can guess which one is which, otherwise you might be reading the wrong blog. I was sent an email asking me to join in this little craze and if it is about coffee my … Continue reading Mugshot
