Recently I have mentioned the power in letting go a couple of times. It seems to be something that resonates with people. I wanted to explain a little more about what I mean by it, why I believe in it and explain how you can harness the power in letting go yourself. What do I…

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…

A Helping Hand
Having had a day off the exercise yesterday (yes, we all need them) I was back out running this afternoon. I had been thinking of going for a swim but then the sun started to shine and I couldn’t resist getting outside. It turned out the sun was being a little trickster as it disappeared…
Free Running
Today’s adventure was free running. Not the sort where you leap from building to building – although I would love to give that a go! This free running was the type where you don’t really know where you are going or how far; you just go. This morning it was pouring with rain and I…
