Yesterday morning I got up early for a run around the city centre. So lovely to be in Nottingham as it was still stirring and rubbing its bleary eyes! #anadventureaday #anadventurousgirl #running #fitness #6amclub #sport #happy #Nottingham #lovenotts #canal #daybreak #lights #water #getoutside #enjoylife #winter

A Restless Sportswoman
I am a very restless sportswoman at the moment. Having finally succumbed to the dreaded, change of season cold, I am unimpressed. Optimistic Start Whenever I first start to feel ill I convince myself that, if I rest for a day, it will go away. So, last Monday, when my throat was a little sore, I…
