So, remember when I said I did the six mile run for sport relief? Well, I have spectacularly failed to run any miles since. I have no excuse, other than I am a lazy moo. Remember how I also told you that I am going to run the Great North Run for Parkinson’s UK in September? [...]

I was supposed to post this yesterday when it was still April. But I didn’t, mostly because I was feeling a bit under the weather and I had an early night instead. You’ll be glad to know I am feeling a gazillion percent better today so now you can all find out the results of [...]

With six months to go I am coming to realise that I am not going to complete my day zero list within the allotted time. This makes me sad, mostly because I should have known I was being over ambitious with some of my goals. Still, we have to aim high eh? Let’s see if [...]

Eight months ago, something really really strange happened to me. Having struggled for most of my adult life to do exercise (other than run around after small people or walk to and from the kettle) I started running. With no warning. I mean, it was a conscious decision – nothing was chasing me – but [...]

Today is the 4th April. Today it is snowing/raining/blowing a gale. Today is not a day for venturing far from my sofa. Today I made a start on my personal challenge. And in doing so, I invented a whole new game that I am going to share with you now. It is called ‘Name That [...]

Two years ago, just a week before moving house, and a month before Little M finally decided to get out of me, I decided I didn’t have enough to do so I made myself a Day Zero list. I have just eight months left, and have only completed 53.5% of my list. I’m beginning to [...]

Remember that saying – Another month, another personal challenge? No, nor do I. I just made it up… I find it very hard to believe that this time last year my personal challenge was to get ready to go back to school. That seems so long ago. This month I am setting a more creative [...]

Way back in the autumn, having started running a mere two months before, I signed myself up for the sport relief mile. For some completely unknown reason I decided to opt for the six mile one, because, well, y’know. At the time I could barely run 2 miles. I am mad. Anyhoo, I figured I [...]

So, here we are, March already. It’s a day late, but I’ll forgive it, especially if  it brings plenty of spring sunshine. I kind of need March to bring good weather for this month’s challenge. For those of you who have read my blog for a while and/or follow my witterings on twitter, I have [...]

I’m not sure I like the whole extra day in February thing. It has completely thrown me all day and I kind of feel cheated that I have to wait a whole extra day until my birthday. Anyhoo, I digress. A whole 29 days ago I set my personal challenge for February. And I know [...]
