Lose Your Excuses to Find Your Success. I love this quote. It’s just so on point. It’s not mine, I borrowed it from Joe Wicks (The Body Coach). I’m sure he won’t mind. Love to run You all know that I love running. Recently I’ve also gone back to adding in weight training and HIIT sessions […]
Here is my monthly review of the photos I have taken continues with a selection from July 2018. This month all the photos have been made exclusively on my Galaxy S7 smartphone and processed using Lightroom CC on the same device.

I went for a run on Sunday. It was in the afternoon and the heat was stifling so I didn’t take the dog with me. Instead, I took my eldest daughter, Lydia. I didn’t start running until I was 31 and I fell in love with it. Since then I’ve often looked back on my […]

Distance this week: 10.9km Number of runs this week: 2 Distance to goal: 1949.2km I started this week with a dogged determination that I would run and get rid of the knee injury. I was sure it was just an injury and maybe running it off was the way to beat it. So, with my knew […]
Distance this week: 10.0km Number of runs this week: 2 Distance to goal: 1960.1km Well I ran, that’s the main thing! Monday morning and I was out early and ready to start the week with a good run. Except this was where it all went a bit wrong for the week really. You see, my left […]
Distance this week: 18.8km Number of runs this week: 4 Distance to goal: 1970.1km A better week than last week – I actually ran! The week started with a short evening run with both dogs. Dottie is retired from running but I took her to make sure I didn’t go too fast as I hadn’t run […]
