Non Runners Running Group Is Born!
Today saw the first outing of the new Non Runners Group in Nottingham! Despite the icy weather seven hardy souls joined me at Holme Pierrepont to form a new kind of running group; one where you don’t have to run! I am not a running coach or a personal trainer but I do love to…

Throw Back Thursday – Chamonix Via Ferrata
Chamonix, September 2011 – Girls Adventure Holiday I’m not very good at sitting still; beach holidays just don’t suit me anymore.
