31/08/23 – Fab on tour guided run tonight with lots of new faces. Starting at Twechar Primary School we did a figure of 8 loop. First was a lovely 1km uphill although I was slightly confused as the trees that were previously there had been felled and I couldn’t see the ‘wish you were here’ …
02/09/23 – This is one of my favourite runs! I just loved it. I was supposed to be in Tiree this weekend for the ultra but parenting took precedent. Given I wasn’t now away for the full weekend I was given a free pass for today. Only parenting duty I needed to do before was …

12/08/2023 – Oh what a day crewing on the Devil O’the Highlands ultra. I’ve run this twice and decided this year to volunteer instead. Came up the night before and stayed at the West Highland Way Sleeper bunkhouse in Bridge of Orchy ScotRail Station. So cool actually sleeping in the station. 5am start! Aim was …

With Mary swimming, Vicky cycling and me running we all had the elements we liked. No chance I was swimming! The 1.9km swim started at 0645 at Loch Tay and Mary did a fab job. …
09/09/23 – New race for me today at Kyles 10 Miles. It is what is says it is 10miles. Road race starting outside the Royal An Lochan Hotel in Tighnabruaich. I headed over with Fiona and Morag from the Epic Crew, the whole way debating the weather…please sun don’t come out. Think none of us …

24/06/23 – Celtman Solo 0.5 extreme triathlon. Basically a half ironman but harder. Registration was the day before in the hall at Torridon. I looked at everyone registering and felt like such an imposter. I kept thinking that there was no way I’m good enough to do this. I felt comfortable with run and bike …
03/06/23 – Very impromptu race today. This weekend was supposed to just be the Milngavie trail race tomorrow but I had lots of the crew up at the Blair Castle trail weekend by Outsider Events. By chance, earlier this week, my eldest was invited to play in a hockey tournament in Perth today. That meant …
11/06/23 – Today it was Lochore sprint triathlon. 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run. I had to face my fear…open water swimming. This was my first open water triathlon (all others have been in the pool) and with Celtman solo only a few weeks away this was the test run at it. Mary has been …
