Life / wellness coaching
I talked to a wellness life coach recently and while I expected her to have all the answers, it turns out she was armed with the right questions and let me find all the answers for myself. Linda Formichelli had an offer for some practice sessions and I contacted her about two things in my […]

The digest part of the name
I seem to have acquired more than one blog. I have three more than one, two more than the two I had until this week and I’ll tell you why with a story that is one of my favourites from my running. I was at the gym, a few weeks before my first 10k, running […]

Some pictures from the Bristol 10km – 15 May 2011

Something with which I struggled in 2010
Physical mobility was my biggest challenge in 2010. Near the end of January I over exercised my right knee, while running with poor form, and I hurt / irritated the area. This was pretty bad news because I had just signed up for the London Marathon and I needed the training. On the plus side […]

Baby B: Carefree and Kicking Around
Ain’t thinking ’bout love today Lost in the sunlight Walking down memory lane I don’t think about running any more. I spend too long trying to waddle to work, find some comfort on the couch, sleep without pain, put socks on with some measure of grace, impossible. I dream about running instead. I wake from […]

Running, not so much
There is a sentence in my post-marathon write-up which kept coming back to me around the time of the Bristol 10km. “After those 10 miles it would be the last 10km and I could run that distance even feeling unwell”. Nearly a month after I wrote that, I am not so sure at how much […]
