May 2020 will live long in my memory. Not only because it was yet another month in a coronavirus lockdown in the UK, but also because it was the month I finally did “10K A DAY IN MAY”. When I first conceived the idea of running a 10k every day in the month of May, […]
When it comes to our health and fitness, it’s not a secret that we all know that in order to stay in shape and remain happy and healthy, we need to be exercising on a regular basis. Being physically active isn’t just about your weight and size, it’s also about your physical and mental health […]
There’s nothing like a global pandemic to make you feel like you are off track and a bit all over the place. When you have plans and you’re excited for the summer ahead, having to stay home and abide by lockdown rules can feel frustrating. Yet, this is something that we’re all going through and […]
Some 19 days ago I decided on a whim to run 10k (6.2 miles) every day in May to raise money for Versus Arthritis. Now, as I approach the two-thirds point of the challenge I thought I’d drop a little update. Before I launch into the trials and tribulation of running 10k every day I […]
Last night I found myself doing something I never imagined doing. I had to chuckle to myself as I plodded away, step after step. It was an experience but one that I deemed necessary.

The sub-20 minute 5K is one of the holy grails of running. Of course, it’s at the opposite end o the spectrum from a sub-3 hour marathon but it’s no less of a challenge for most runners. It’s a goal I’ve had on my mind for a while without ever really training to do it […]
It’s so hard to do anything with all of this uncertainty, isn’t it? We know that life will one day return to normal. But, we also know that it might be a slow process and that things might not be exactly as they were until a COVID-19 vaccine has been found. Until then, we’re bound […]
The initial buzz experienced during the first months of driving is one of life’s greatest feelings. However, it’s not uncommon for the love of driving to evaporate. When it does, finding ways to get it back should be high on the agenda. After all, you spend far too much time behind the wheel to be […]
Road trips with the kids really can be a lot of fun. In fact, they encourage them to all get along while they are in the car, and you can get to and explore some fascinating places along the way. Of course, to have the best experience, you will need to make sure you do […]
