Daily writing promptWhat was the hardest personal goal you've set for yourself?View all responses Running a marathon. The marathon itself was fine. Yes, everything that could go wrong, did go wrong on the actual day, but I still hit my target time and finished with all my toenails so I take that as a win. … Continue reading Sunday musings

The Wildlife Trusts Hope Week 2024: Day 6 – Go for a mindful walk
My husband and I are actually very bad at this, in that we usually spend our weekends going for very long walks around our area. The bad thing, is that we rarely plan to do this and are often very unprepared - a 15km walk is very much standard for us, and then we wonder … Continue reading The Wildlife Trusts Hope Week 2024: Day 6 – Go for a mindful walk
Little personal triumph
I have mentioned it before in some of my other posts, but I am currently training for a marathon. The marathon will be in York and takes place on 20th October 2024. For the past 5ish months I have been working super hard to get through my training plan so I can give this marathon … Continue reading Little personal triumph
Floof Friday
Seems this area of my local canal is the bird hang out spot... I believe we've got a heron, some Canadian geese, a magpie (?) and a couple ducks. This also doesn't show the swans and cygnets that I saw a little further along, nor the many different groups of ducks that I saw - … Continue reading Floof Friday
Percy Pig piglets mini bags
Where would the UK be without Percy Pig? He is practically a national treasure at this point. I'm also pretty certain he is the main reason why Marks & Spencers (M&S) is still in business these days too. Previously, the only Percy Pig that was vegan friendly was the Veggie Percy, but it seems in … Continue reading Percy Pig piglets mini bags
Request – elcotrolyte recommendations
I am currently training for a half marathon and so am experimenting with the best fuel options. I am also set to run a marathon at the end of the year too so hoping that if I sort my feuling during this half marathon, I can think about it less during the full marathon. I … Continue reading Request – elcotrolyte recommendations
High 5 energy gel orange
One of my big goals for 2024 is to run a half marathon and a full marathon. I did complete a half marathon in 2023, but the one I am planning for 2024 will be my first chipped and timed race, so I am equal parts very nervous for it and also very excited to … Continue reading High 5 energy gel orange
ASCIS London 10km run
I have always loved running. I started running when I was an early teen but really fell in love with it when I was about 16 years old. I have spent most of my life going through periods of running lots and then having quiet periods where I do no running at all. But last … Continue reading ASCIS London 10km run
Floof Friday
A slightly different type of floof today... I went for a run the other day and spotted this absolutely massive black bird sunning himself on a branch on the other side of the canal to the one I was running along. He was probably the size of a heron (if not a little shorter) and … Continue reading Floof Friday
How can I be an activist?
This is a question that I have struggled with a lot, because it's so vast. For starters, what is an activist and how does it differ from being an advocate? According to the dictionary, an activist is 'a person who campaigns to bring about political or social change'. An advocate is defined as 'a person … Continue reading How can I be an activist?
