What a scary evening for many different reasons at The Spooky 10km at Nottingham’s National Water Centre. It was all supposed to be fun but spooky where 300 or so runners line up in either fancy dress or the technical illuminated long sleeved t-shirts and head torches all supplied courtesy of the race and run […]
Clowne Tow Path 10km
It was no laughing matter as me and my friend headed towards Worksop for the Clowne Towpath and Trail 10km on a dull May Sunday morning. After spending half the night up with a very sick cat I didn’t have high expectations for this. Did you hear about the cat who drank 5 bowls of […]
Wiggle 10km
Wig Wag wig wag your tail for the Wiggle 10km Cross Country at Catton Park in Tamworth, a 10km cross country and running with dogs (not cats despite it being Catton park). Mudtastic! This was my second time at this race – last year I came second too, lets see if I can come second […]
Percy Pud
It’s Christmassssssss….. well kind of as its percy pud time again – my 4th year in a row. Why do I love this race so much because I do and because I can. It is emotional for me in many ways, my first ever pb, my second pb, my third pb, home territory, yes its […]
Heanor Pudding Run
It’s the battle of the pudding runs as for the second year running I take part in the Heanor 10km pudding run, superseded by the Percy Pud 10km in a couple of weeks. Last year I was rocking, I had just joined the fantastic Sheffield Running Club and was enjoying my running smashing my previous […]
Sheffield 101010
This was my first race since May 2011 after being injured with the dreaded Plantar Fascitis (nasty evil plantar f&*^%ing Fascitis). I had been running on and off short distance for about 3 to 4 weeks prior to today so wasn’t expecting anything nothing nothing at all. I had entered this race knowing it was […]
Bupa Great Yorkshire Run
If you asked me a few days before the Great Yorkshire Run how I was feeling, and whether I would run the streets of Sheffield, I would have grunted like a pig and scuffled through the streets like a pig, and looked like a pig probably. If you asked me straight after the Great Yorkshire […]
Chatsworth 10km
Chatsworth House 10km all in aid of Helen’s Trust – nothing to do with me just something to do with a great charity and a great place to run in Derbyshire on a sunday morning, and why not? So let the race commence, ready steady run. This multi terrain course had a reputation for being […]
Asics British 10km
I am trying to jog my memory to when I last did some running, in the running world it was a long time ago, all due to a strained tendon on the knee which has a more technical term in the running world but that will do for me. Yet on one of the hottest […]
Wiggle 10km
Wiggle wiggle wiggle I wonder why I wiggle? The last day in April took us to Burton on Trent for something completely different – a Wiggle 10km trail / cross country route on a lovely Saturday morning. This was part of a larger all weekend event but we weren’t game enough to ride bikes in […]
