Shall I? Shall I not? I shall, I shall not. I just don’t know, I may, let’s see how I feel. I have broken a finger nail, I can’t. Oh hell its only 30 minutes from home and under £20 – why not? Stop Procrastinating and Do! Stop caring what other people think. Just do […]
South Yorkshire Cross Country #2 – Graves Park
After doing Parkrun the day before, I decided then to take part in the second South Yorkshire Cross Country at Graves Park in Sheffield. It was local, and I had got such good company from little Emily only a few months old, and the only baby I know to have run 50 miles, Laura – […]
South Yorkshire Road Relays
Today I ran for the very last time around Don Valley. Shed a tear or two for this iconic Stadium. Bye bye Don Valley. I had no expectations of what I would achieve with this little event; the Yorkshire road relays which actually involved no real road but should be named the Yorkshire concrete path […]
Silkstone Shuffle #1
It was a lovely spring saturday morning, No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. A little muddy, with a slight chill in the air and still a little bit of snow lingering in the corners of Barnsleys’ Silkstone as myself and Deb’s (and family) made our way to the dark side of South […]
South Yorkshire Vets Cross Country
The old fogies cross country races at Wentworth Castle; I didn’t even know what it was apart from there would be more grey hairs than any other colour hopping about the fields, as long as we weren’t to go backwards as there would be more receding hare lines than you could mention.It was apparently the […]
Sheffield Half Marathon

South Yorkshire Cross Country #4 – Doncaster
This was my first cross country league of the season due to being injured previously, clashing of other races and just not having the confidence to run. However I was feeling good today so decided to give it a go. So off went a full little Clio of girls, running gear, cake, cake and cake. […]
South Yorkshire 5 mile Road Race #4 – Worsborough
The fourth and final South Yorkshire road race series took place at Worsborough Mill just outside Barnsley on the 11 May 2011. A lovely run on a very sunny evening. I’ve started so I’ll finish, this the fourth in the series of 5 mile road races in South Yorkshire. Although my times for all previous […]
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 […]
