The Challenge

'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…

2018 – Season Finale

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…

Great Scottish Run 2018- Support Runner

I first ran this race last year with my friend running her first half marathon, I was badly undertrained, I had been out late at a work leaving night the night before and it poured with rain from start to finish. This year was a little different...   again, I ran with a friend running her first half…

Fresh Start

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…

Rambling

I intended a race report from Stirling Half Marathon but I've left it so long it's practically a distant memory! Obviously the PB is memorable and the chafing...oh the chafing... ...I was so excited to see sunshine (it's been a long ass winter) when I woke on race day I swapped my running tights for…

Just Believe

I haven't posted about running for a while. Last time I spoke to you about it I was frustrated with my pace* and the fact that I wasn't going to smash my 2018 goal (sub 2hr half marathon) in my first try at it. Sometimes I forget I'm just a below average runner not an…

Snow Business

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…

Goals, a pep talk and a pervert dog

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…

Angela’s guide to…

I recently read a post about my hometown written by a travel blogger.  As much as I loved seeing the town through someone else's eyes, it left me a little embarrassed that said travel blogger from the other side of the world knew more about the history of the town than I did, she even named some places…

2018 Goals

I've never been big on resolutions. I'd make them, knowing full well I'd be over them a week in, quickly reverting back to the same old procrastinating, chocolate munching, gin sipping, telly addict I was the year before... I may or may not currently be lying on my bed in the room I'm supposed to…
