Let’s just say that I have been on a 25 week hiatus. Lockdown has not been a place of creative writing and wonderment for me. I’m getting by just fine, but I feel like trying to catch up on everything that’s happened this last 6 months isn’t a good way to get me motivated to … Continue reading How to get back to blogging
So I haven’t blogged in months. Fair to say that things have been utterly crazy in every way imaginable. Let me fill you in. In November, after 10 years of being together Giles and I mutually agreed to end our relationship. It was an incredibly tough decision for us both but one we agreed to … Continue reading Let’s catch up

On Tuesday I woke up … Continue reading Eighteen Kilometres
On Sunday I slept in until 9:30am which I think is the first time in a long while that I haven’t been up at 7ish. I started working on some university work sitting on the sofa in my PJ’s. It was a lovely sunny day and it felt good to relax at home after several … Continue reading 10 mile training run
Although that recent 10-mile race was horrendous, it has been a phenomenal help to get motivated. I am running a trail half-marathon race on 17th November and I’ve been able to keep up a decent amount of yoga, running and weight training over the last few weeks since the race. As it’s a trail half … Continue reading Motivated
