Scottish exile down south. Charity Comms Manager by day, childrenβs climbing frame by night. Training for @LondonMarathon 2025. πββοΈ It hurts!
What better way to spend a Friday evening than a 10k trail run through the stunning #WendoverWoods? #RaceTheLight was such a brilliant event - so well organised by @runawayracinguk and even better that it was in support of @ChilternsNeuro. Love my wild flower seed medal!
Who needs strength training when you can just play a game of twister?

I think in ten minutes Iβve worked more muscles (and probably done more injuries) than I did in all my marathon training. Itβs going to hurt tomorrow!
Did my first ever #triathlon today at a very wet and Windy Eton Dorney and it was so much fun! πββοΈπ΄ββοΈπββοΈ
Iβm not much of a swimmer but a nice flat course allowed me to pick up speed on the bike ride. Most importantly, I didnβt crash or have a puncture.
It started off as a nice cycle ride, as part of the kidsβ #triathlon training, but it very nearly became swim training as well. It was a little soggy out there! π΄ββοΈβοΈ
So proud of this little superstar for finishing her first ever #triathlon today and doing so well. She absolutely loved it and had a big grin on her face the whole time. ππ»ββοΈπ΄ββοΈππΌββοΈ
She may be too young for her own social media accounts but my daughter really wanted me to post her flat lay picture before her first ever triathlon tomorrow. She is so excited! ππ»ββοΈπ΄ββοΈππΌββοΈ
Such a fun morning at the St Albans Half Marathon with a few of my crazy colleagues! First time Iβve run it and it is definitely one of my favourite halfs - not too hilly and not too flat, great support along the route and a friendly group of runners on the course.
This article is a fantastic reminder of the difference volunteers make every day - not for recognition, but out of kindness and commitment.
Their impact is both powerful and far-reaching.

They are the quiet heroes who help hold our communities together.

Another beautiful day on the lake at Westhorpe Watersports! The girls are such amazing little paddle boarders although I think the youngest was having just as much fun jumping in and swimming!
Out for a bike ride so my daughter could test ride her new bike. She was very excited, although she was just as excited about the obligatory stop for some sports nutrition.
After yesterday's very hilly run my legs were a bit achy this morning so l didn't think today's run would go that well. As it happens, I absolutely smashed my #Parkrun PB! Happy days! ππ
I am definitely looking forward to getting my Garmin watch back though. Itβs been quite liberating running without it over the last week but I did feel a bit lost at Parkrun not knowing my distance, time or pace.
Back on the #Parkrun tourist trail today as someone rudely put a music festival on top of my local one. This time I was at California Country Park which is one of the nicest courses Iβve done - a mixture of trail and path through beautiful woodland.
After three years as the photographer, it was nice to actually take part in #RunPrestwood, although it was another hot day and the hills were brutal! The girls enjoyed their 2k race and did really well.
What a fantastic day we had at #RunPrestwood! Thank you to all our amazing runners, especially our mini-athletes, who were absolutely brilliant. Thank you to our awesome volunteers who help make these events happen. Thank you to Jeremy Swan Estate Agents for sponsoring the event.
No local #Parkrun for me today due to a rowing regatta so back on the tourist trail. πββοΈ
Very happy with my time (about 28 mins). It was a crowded course so difficult to keep a consistent pace and, after last week, my legs were starting to feel very weary towards the end.
