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 …
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 …
