Run Norwich 2016 #RN16

You know when you know full well that you are woefully under prepared for something but you do it anyway? That was me on Sunday at Run Norwich 2016. Last year I took part in the first Run Norwich 10k, and enjoyed it so much that I decided to run it again this year. These

Trowse 10k 2016

I find it hard to believe that 2016 is the 4th year I’ve run the Trowse 10k. It’s become something of a tradition now to get up stupidly early on Easter Sunday for the 9am start, then be in the pub by lunch time celebrating. In 2013 I ran in snow flurries, in 2014 I

Trowse 10k 2014 – My Slowest 10k Yet!

Ah, it must be Easter Sunday, because once again I’m up at stupid o’clock in the morning to run the ridiculously early starting Trowse 10k. It doesn’t even start at 11am like lots of races. It starts at 9am. They don’t send your number out in advance either so you can just bimble up at

Marriotts Way 10k 2013

This time last year the Marriotts Way 10k was my first ever 10k race, which I was really nervous about. Fast forward a year and I’m busy being nervous about my first Half Marathon. How things change! Another thing that changed significantly this year was the weather. Last year I loved the Marriotts Way run,

Trowse 10k 2013

Well, I made it back alive. I’ll be honest, it felt like touch and go at times! When I signed up for the Trowse 10k I had visions of a beautiful spring morning countryside jaunt. In reality of course it’s bitterly cold, in fact there were snow flurries part way round, and the clocks went

Adnams Southwold 10k 2012

Yesterday was my second 10k race. The one with the free beer as it was sponsored by Adnams around the Suffolk village of Southwold where Adnams is based. As promised Sunday was bright and sunny, if cold, so pretty good running weather really. Southwold is about an hours drive from where I live, but there

The Completely Wrong Way to Train for a 10k

So, Sunday is the Adnams 10k. The race I entered because you get free beer at the end, and I like beer. I have my race number, I have my timing chip (this time it’s a weird paper thing, not a plastic tag, exciting!) I have checked the weather (cold but sunny, good running weather)

Marriotts Way 10k 2012

Well, that’s my first ever 10k race over and done with, and I had no need to be nervous at all! I carefully laid everything out the night before. I have some new capris from Thoosa, but thought it best to stick with what I know on the day. I shall try out the new

Will Run for Beer

So, after rashly signing up to do a 10k in October, and being quite nervous about it as well actually, it appears that I have just signed up to run another in November. Why? Well this one offered me a free bottle of beer after the race. How could I say no?     The
