Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow
With only 20 posts This year, I think its safe to say I slacked a bit when it comes to keeping the blog up to date, however, it was quite the year, maybe even the best one yet... 2018 was the year of spontaneous decisions which led to me getting married.. The first part of… Continue reading 2018 – Season Finale
It's merely a month since Mr and I were saying our 'I do's' and already the wedding day is fading fast from my memory. I am hoping we receive our official photographs soon so that I can relive the day through the images. Ironic really, considering I wasn't even going to book a professional photographer. I have been… Continue reading Fresh Start
Prepare yourself for the biggest shock in UK history... IT SNOWED! Haha joke, the biggest shock is that the company I work for CLOSED every branch in the Red Weather Warning zone(Scotlands Central belt) Closing for weather, that is unheard of!! I was sent home on Wednesday just before 3pm and my branch remained closed… Continue reading Snow Business
One of my goals for 2018 is to run a sub 2 hour half marathon. My first attempt is Alloa Half Marathon which is 5 weeks from now. I really wanted to reach my goal at this particular race because a) Alloa Half was my first race also it was the reason I started running… Continue reading Goals, a pep talk and a pervert dog

Before I begin I want to know how to look like this when I run? Who looks that good? If the answer is you then I'm afraid we can't be running buddies, okay. That image couldn't be further away from my reality ... Oooft, needless to say I won't be purchasing any official photos. Ha… Continue reading Edinburgh Half Marathon
Previously on That Extra Inch: Angela felt the need to torture herself some more and signed up to run Edinburgh Half Marathon. Dun dun dun... Since Alloa Half, I had done very little running maybe 3 or 4 runs. Runs with no goals, no pace in mind, no set mileage, no Garmin or Map my… Continue reading No Pain, No Gain…or so they say
I've been told by a number of people 'If you can run 10miles you'll manage to run 13.1miles'. I hope they are right. Yesterday I ran 10miles...for the first time in my life!! In all honesty I probably should have done this before yesterday (1 week before my first half marathon) however if you have… Continue reading The mind is a strange thing…
Sometimes I feel like we live in a time where all aspects of life have become a competition with the next person (women in particular). I'm not a competitive person by nature so it gets to me. I think rather than bring each other down we should be encouraging and uplifting each other. Last week… Continue reading Running Update | Encouragement
