I'm just in a permanent sulk because I love running and I train hard to improve my endurance, speed etc - BUT - I'll never run as fast as the world's natural skinnies, given that I have the build of a miniature Chieftain tank - definitely a pit-pony rather than a thoroughbred. My BMI of 23 is "healthy" but the impedance…

Bit defensive wasn't that, exiled claret! I think teachers do a great job on the whole and I wouldn't trade places with one in a million years, don't think I'd have the patience to be nice to 30 children day in day out, not with how rude some of them are around my area! Point is though, there are (usually) 365 days in the…

Breakthrough Breast Cancer were fantastic. I passed the frantically cheering team round about mile 23, which gave me a much-needed boost. Heading to Tiger, Tiger bar, post-race I was greeted with cheers from the team, as I hobbled my slow weary way up the stairs. I had to choke back tears at that point. Friends and family…
