Mum and I took part in the London Winter Walk 20K for the first time in 2018, and it’s now become an annual must-do event. The £59 registration fee is a bit steep, however it’s nice to start the New Year with some fresh air and a bit of exercise, and mum very kindly offered… Continue reading London Winter Walk 2020

I’m a keen runner and a keen writer, so decided to put the two together and blog about my running adventures!
I have asthma, Runner’s Knee in both knees and scar tissue in my right calf from tearing it, so exercise can prove to be a bit of a challenge, but that’s why I enjoy it!
Follow my footprints and share the journey!
Thank you for visiting :-)
2019 in review
2019 – my favourite year of exercise to date. Just like 2018, 2019 got off to a flying start: I completed events continuously throughout the year, starting on 13th January. I maintained this level of motivation and enthusiasm right up until I completed my last event on 22nd December, and took part in the most… Continue reading 2019 in review
Kings Hill Sports Park Santa Run 5K 2019
Following on from the success of the brand-new Kings Hill Sports Park 1K, 5K and 10K in summer, organisers Nice Work decided to introduce another run in the same format and location, with a Christmas theme. Taking place in the same area as my place of work (West Malling), the Kings Hill Sports Park Santa… Continue reading Kings Hill Sports Park Santa Run 5K 2019
Santa Dash 5K 2019
I took part in the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity ‘Santa Dash’ event for the first time last year, and really enjoyed it. I’m a huge supporter of Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, and their annual Santa Dash 5K is great fun. Up £2 from last year but still very generous, the £22 entry fee… Continue reading Santa Dash 5K 2019
Movember MoRun 10K 2019
I took part in the London Greenwich Park MoRun 10K during 2014, 2016 and 2017, and thoroughly enjoyed all three events, labeling the 2014 run as the ‘best way to end a great year of running’. Signing up for round four didn’t take much consideration! The bargain £20.90 entry fee included chip timing, chunky bespoke… Continue reading Movember MoRun 10K 2019
Crowborough 5K 2019
Organised by Crowborough Runners, the Crowborough 10K and 5K returned in 2019 for a 33rd time, with Chip Timing provided by Nice Work. For some unknown reason I’d never considered taking part before, and had heard that the route was quite tough; but have just moved house into Crowborough town and thought that it only… Continue reading Crowborough 5K 2019
Race for the Kids 5K 2019
Mum and I took part in Great Ormond Street Hospital’s Race for the Kids 5K in 2017 and 2018, and we absolutely loved it. My sister was an unfortunate victim of medical negligence when she had cancer, and was transferred to Great Ormond Street Hospital who saved her life. They were also a tremendous support to… Continue reading Race for the Kids 5K 2019
