Spacebuns Runs!!
There’s always been a couple of reasons why I have this blog; 1️⃣ my own personal journal of my journey/adventures 2️⃣ I’ve always said “if I can inspire, help & support just one person then that’s super positive” I am passionate about keeping an open & honest narrative but have realised this week that I …
Probably quite a niche one! I am gluten free. I’m not diagnosed as coeliac (I don’t want to go through the pain to get all the tests) but I know that it doesn’t agree with me. I was getting the most horrendous stomach cramps, like being in labour and since cutting out gluten these don’t …
Don’t it always seem to go. That you don’t know what you‘ve got ‘til it’s gone? Being injured as a runner sucks! You see people everywhere running. Everyone’s a bloody runner. It doesn’t help all that much when you work in a running shop and you are passionate about helping and supporting runners all day long and want to inspire and motivate …
The first outing of a new Run Through event in the north-east the Jarrow 10km looked like it was going to be a goodie. Run Through do events well! They are well organized and always a bobby dazzler of a medal and fantastic goodies at the end. I entered Jarrow 10km a little while ago …

It’s taken me 24 hours to write ✍️ my “I got in” post. At the start it felt a million miles away. I have entered the London Marathon ballot since 1998, just missing the 5 attempts and you’re in rule that used to be in place. I missed 2 years when pregnant and 1 year …
I have a touch of unease as I close of this week. Unease that everything is going v.well and that I’m feeling incredibly fresh. Unease that something might just sneak up on me. I know what the aims for this year are and whilst they remain the front & central target for between now & …
As a mum, a business owner, a wife, a daughter, you know ~ all the things (all those hats we wear day to day) it can often be the case that there’s always something to do for other people. One day this got me mulling today the concept that we often view the things that …
A big question really for an article. Can I (or even should I) do all the things? Again, like so many questions the obvious answer is it depends. We are probably the first generation where there’s been a dialogue about having it all, doing it all and being all the things. It might be that you …
