Jarrow 10km – A Race Report

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 …

A Little Girl’s Running Dream Comes True

When I was a little girl I used to watch the London marathon with my parents. It was the time that the small telly was brought down from the kitchen and popped into my parents bedroom and a couple of primary school aged children would wedge their way between their parents, eat toast and watch …

The Man With The Plan

So, I was 2 blocks down. I’d ran Manchester Marathon twice and neither had necessarily gone absolutely to plan but, as with all marathon blocks, I’d learned a lot. My Dad had ran a Good For Age time which would mean he had a qualification for London Marathon at the 2nd Manchester Marathon I had …

Is Gratitude Overrated?

This is one I got thinking about today. It’s so often said that a gratitude practice can do wonders for your mental health and for the things that show up in the world.  “the world is full of miracles but we see them as ordinary things” is a Hans Christian Anderson quote. I’ve often said …

You Get What You Expect

It’s is one I talk about quite often to people.  You will get what you expect.  Obviously there are some caveats to this which I will come to later BUT effectively you will find what you’re looking for.
