Running shoes
I haven’t had many running shoes but I think I’ve found which works for me. BROOKS I got a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS in 2013 and loved them from the start, these really got me into running. I keep saying I’ll get some more but they aren’t cheap and not many places sell them….
28th November 2015
So I’m sat here with my laptop, on the sofa, under a blanket & next to a radiator, on this horrible rainy day. Today is my BIRTHDAY, I wish it wasn’t like this, today I turn 34! I have had a great day so far. Been out for breakfast, gotten some new clothes and bought…
It has to happen now…
So I haven’t been posting on here in a month or two. I have since moved flats (post to come soon), taken part in a 24hr slot car race and decided to not take part in my two running events. I have not lost weight for ages now and it will be my 34th birthday…

Black Wednesday reared it’s ugly head on our floor!
What a few days does to someones running. Wednesday I could barely run 1 mile but today I ran for 1hr and managed 5 miles! I don’t know why I find running on the treadmill so much easier than outside, maybe it’s the fact that information is right there in front of me and I…
