You Know You’re At Parkrun When…
In case you don’t know, Parkrun is a free 5 km timed run every Saturday at 9:30am in parks around the world. The idea is you register yourself on http://www.parkrun.com / .ie / .co.uk, etc, once registered, you print off your barcode, bring it to any Parkrun & it will be scanned at the end […]
The Shinbone’s Connected To The Knee Joint…
I’ve not written anything in a while, so here goes… After the half marathon in August I just kinda gave up on the whole running thing. It’s not that I didn’t want to run, it was just that I didn’t want to run, confused? Well see I did want to run, I wanted to continue […]
Ice Ice Baby
Yesterday I woke up in no mood of running, this happens from time to time, regardless, I got up out of bed at 7:45 am, got ready & drove to Dublin for Marlay Parkrun. When I arrived, I sat in the car trying to find excuses of why I should run ‘you’re tired, you won’t […]
My First 10k In The Bag…On The Feet?
This weekend my dance card for full of running, firstly on Saturday morning at 9:30 am, I had a fabulous Marlay Parkrun 5k. I’ve said this over & over, but this free timed run really is fantastic. When I first ran last year, I began with a couch to 5k app. Each week I walked […]

Pavements & Cartwheels
Well yesterday I went for a run with my buddy Marcus, we decided to just run around 5k & it would be just a nice fun run with no pressure to beat our previous times or distance. We had been talking about going for a run together for ages but we just never got around […]
More Than A Feeling
Yesterday’s run was back to Marlay Parkrun, but I didn’t go alone this time. This time I bullied my friend Jim into joining me! Yay for positive bullying! Jim had never done a Parkrun before but he started on a great day, the sun was shining, no rain & no wind…unlike the previous week. The […]
Work It Harder, Make It Better, Do It Faster, Makes Us Stronger
Ah yes, I’m a happy girl, It’s been 5 whole weeks since I took part in Marlay Parkrun, but today, well, it was my comeback! If you’ve been reading my blog, you’ll know I’ve still been running, I’ve just not been able to get to Marlay Parkrun. I live 60 kilometers from Marlay Parkrun, but […]
