It’s been a minute!
I’d love to say the training I did so well at during that spring continued well into summer, but that would be far from accurate. Between the summer holidays travels, some niggles and life, I’ve managed to lose about the same % of fitness that I gained in weight 🤪

Obligatory flat lay, as I prep for tomorrow.
No time pressure, just a revisit to the marathon route I started this journey on ❤️

Good luck to all those running tomorrow, have an amazing time and I hope to say hi to a few of you around the course ☺️

Been away from insta for a spell - something I know many of you do yourselves and it helps to step out of the social media bubble and fully exist in the real world for a spell.

A big chunk of summer this year was exploring some of Australia for the first time. I confess, it was even better than I anticipated. Crocs being fed inches from me in the river in Darwin, feeding kangaroos in Brisbane, snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef of the coast of Cairns, walking through the Daintree rainforest with the Kuku Yalnji tribe, climbing the Sydney Harbour bridge, the list goes on.
The photos never do the landscapes justice, but you get an idea.
After a prolonged spell of fitness, over the last few months , I have thoroughly let myself go. An indefensible volume of curries, ice cream and snacks are to blame!

Whilst now back to reality, I’m lucky to have finally seen what so many told me about Australia and hope to emulate a more chilled attitude and zest for life that the Aussies have, day-to-day.

You can now look forward to me getting my fat ass back into shape and posting about the struggles of the fight with the dad bod 🤪

Visiting my eldest in Canterbury, so decided to go for a run-explore (hence the portmanteau of run-splore).
Could have done with more than the 4.5hrs sleep, but can’t have it all (thanks to the flatmates for the 5am alarm).
Nice and cool, mixture of city streets, trim trial and woodlands.

Just my thoughts for a Monday. A reminder for myself as much as anyone that needs it ☺️ ❤️

Something a bit different for a Sunday. Super event, weather was stunning and a truly incredible effort from everyone involved too.

Also, having not done an event in a while, my first wooden medal.

Thanks to Sonja Orme and the team and the Castle practice for letting me join.

Tempted as I was to blow out a few cobwebs and the frustration of another London marathon rejection, I was sensible enough to maintain a steady state after my 17miler on Sunday.
Training and the attempt at recapturing my fitness continues ☺️

Imagine my shock 🤣🤣 Annual rejection day didn’t let me down.!
That continues my 100% record for well over a decade now, of never getting a ballot place for the London marathon.
F*ck knows what I need to do to get in, or how so many people manage to get in first time or indeed multiple times 🤷‍♂️
