Saturday 18th January A few weeks ago I was’t going to do this event. My knee was pretty painful just walking up a few steps, let alone trying to run a hilly half marathon course.

Week 16: Period Power
After the whole peanut butter drama of Sunday, I still wasn't feeling great on Monday, but managed to at least show up for my training, even if I didn't quite have it in me to complete the swim set.

Week 9: Making Connections
This last week has been a bit of a whirlwind and I can’t believe I’ve had to get up extra early on Tuesday morning to try and get this done as I totally lost track of the days. I feel that so much has happened this week, but also so much hasn’t. There are lots… Continue reading Week 9: Making Connections
