With the excitement of parkrun returning in England this weekend (sadly, we have to wait a little while longer in Wales), my book all about parkrun has been reduced on Amazon Kindle to 99p for the next few days.

The latest book in my Unlikely Triathlete series is HALF PRICE at 99p for a limited time.
Perfect read for anyone missing parkrun.

When I first had the tear in my cartilage, the physio told me to limit my steps to under 5000 a day.

Whilst I may still be on minimal training, my beloved Phil is training hard. This means he needs on the go nutrition and wanted something savoury rather than just the sweetness of gels. So I have been a good... facebook.com/158492395841246…

Such sad news coming from Ironman South Africa today. Two competitors lost their lives during the swim. My deepest condolences to the families. I can’t even begin to imagine the heartbreak.

I love it when I hear inspiring stories. This ten year old Olympic hopeful was on the Radio this morning. What a committed and dedicated little girl and what a bright future she has.

Sometimes you need to make tough decisions. Newport half marathon. I’ve been struggling with a knee issue for a little while. At just over 3 miles in I knew it would be foolish to continue. I’ve DNF’d. I’m ok but my knee was giving me too much pain.
