I was on holiday in Turkey in May 2010 and someone approached me and asked me if I was training for a Triathlon. I said no, but I do a few little races like 10kms. We got talking and they suggested I should give it a Tri. Believe. Commit. Persevere. Repeat – Lisa Lynamy So, […]

Sheffield Half
Still deciding which pair of trainers to wear at 6am this morning, left ones or right ones? Pronators or Neutral, New or Old? I know which pair of pants I will be wearing, which bib, which vest (Sheffield Running Club of course), which pair of socks, (miles and miles to go) and which pair of […]
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 […]

Derby 10km
Taking someone else’s bib with beer stains on it I was in the “sub 60” wave of this race. I would have chosen to be in the “sub 45 wave” if it was my own bib, but then my own bib would have had tea stains on it and not beer stains. The race started […]
South Yorkshire 5 mile Road Race #1 – Oxspring

So we got taken over a bridge to the start line, even though there was actually no line. The run was just in Barn-zaar-lee, the guy starting the race was broader than […]
