Awesome day and my first experience of this OCR goodness. Flashbacks of army days and may have spun a few dits for Oliver’s benefit too.
Lots of fun and what a great way to finish a challenging week and recognise
Thanks Castle Race Series for a great course.

Bit of a throw back and as I’m sat having just donated, a little reminder to you all too.

Throwback from when I donated bone marrow - get yourself registered, you might be able to help someone and change their life.

Secondly, whether it’s whole blood, platelets, and/or plasma, please see if you can donate to help make a difference.

If you have any questions, whilst I’m far from an expert, I’m happy to help if I can.

Yes I feel as tired as I look 😆
Got my ass down to the gym. The dad bod fight continues.
Well done to all of you that ran this weekend, been inspiring seeing the posts and obvious joy.

Last night I had the privilege of listening to Mark Foster present at Dauntsey's and talk about his life, career and impart some wisdom on the importance of:

Forming positive habits.
Seeking role models and do what they do.
There is no substitute for hard work.

Whilst this is not anything significantly new or profound (sorry Mark!). It has served as a timely reminder for me at a time when I needed a nudge and reminder I’ve fallen foul of the issue that affects many of us - too many bad habits and too many excuses!

I never got to interview Mark as part of my Instaviews (see profile for more), but from those swimmers i did - Becky Adlington Karen Pickering MBE OLY Sharron Davies Training and Dan Wallace
The theme was the same and the outcome too. I became more motivated and inspired (and always a bit in awe too!).

So here’s to the next chapter (again) as I continue to seek improvement and look to role models and better habits.

Sometimes things get a bit distracting and the simple task of a post race social media post doesn’t happen!

I knew this wouldn’t be a quick one as I went in injured, but f*ck me did I have to dig deep at times.

Beauty of a course - where else do pony’s join you for a mile!

Well done to all those who completed it and especially to those running for some incredible causes too.

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.
