Sorry Anne! Today’s running adventure was with a good friend. Chatting about my blog, Anne asked me what I my writing topic would be today. “Nature” I said, “I’ve seen a lot of wildlife on runs and rides this week.” Anne joked that I could write about our run and some of the things we talked about. Sorry…

Everyday Exercise – It Doesn’t Have To Hurt!
Exercise is a scary word for many people. It conjures up thoughts of pain and strain. Of having to do things you really don’t want to do. The truth is that exercise doesn’t have to be about breathlessness and aching muscles. If you get into the habit of everyday exercise you won’t even know you’re…
Sherwood Pines: A Run In The Woods
If you go down to the woods today… It was never going to be easy; heading out on my first decent run since being ill. So, I figured the best thing to do was to run some where pretty! Sherwood Pines is a Forestry Commission run area right in the heart of Sherwood Forest –…

A Restless Sportswoman

In Search Of Fitness Inspiration
Baby it’s cold outside! Winter is definitely in the air and I can feel a cold trying to get a grip on my body. I have learnt the hard way not to try to out-run a cold. So, other than a cycle to the shops, I am taking it easy today. Physically anyway…mentally I am…
A Walk From Newark and Kelham
Having grown up between Newark and Nottingham I have an affection for both towns. Newark, though, retains a certain charm which Nottingham sadly lost along with many of its historic buildings.
