'Hi, Gary and I have just signed up for Loch Ness Marathon its on World Cerebral Palsy Day we're going to do it for Amber, fancy it?' Three things you should know 1) The above was said in a phone call from my sister Cheryl who is famous for signing up for races and not…

Cómo estàs?

My running group leader, Mandy said we might feel depressed after the marathon. Committing so much of our time, energy and focus on that one thing for so long can leave you feeling a little lost when it all comes to a sudden halt.  The runners high of crossing that finish line sadly,  eventually does…

Glitter

I had so many festive themed things I planned to post about in the run up to Christmas, however, as usual any plans I make never seem to work out and time has honestly run away from me.  Christmas has been and gone!!  I returned to work on Wednesday, a three day week is not…

So, I should be in Ibiza!

Last week I had a much needed week off! I will hold my hands up and admit I had become a bit, well let's just say not my usual happy self and not much fun, the last month or so. I was exhausted, I  always remember saying that to my friend, who gave me a…

Blogging. FAIL

 Yeah, so I've been failing at blogging of late, even my Fit Friday's have fallen by the way side the last couple of weeks, just the blogging, I have still been working out.  Honest! I feel like I've been lacking time and the brain power to blog.  I think it's the change in weather but…
