John ‘The Penguin’ Bingham described them in one of his books: runners who appear at a race wearing nothing but those scary I’m a Real Runner shorts, a tank top, and gloves! I’ve always felt this to be an odd combination. Why wear gloves when you’re dressed as if it’s hot. But I suppose they… Continue Reading

You can run, ánd you can hide!
‘You can run, but you can’t hide’ the saying goes. Indeed, as a mom you can try to hide, but those kids will find you anywhere! Even if you’re holed up in the bathroom with all the lights out, and the door not closed so it looks as if there’s no one in there. So… Continue Reading
Running clothes versus Cycling clothing
As a runner I’m not a big fan of cyclists. They are so silent, appearing out of nowhere, and taking me by surprise. And they often travel in packs, looking like big swarms of angry bees, with their bright and ugly clothes. I’ve often thought to myself: ‘I’m so happy I’m a runner, because runners… Continue Reading

I could really do with a climbing axe,… Continue Reading

Running clothes: not too ‘runny’ please
I care about how I look as a woman and a mom. And I care about what I look like as a runner. Not too ‘runny’ please One of my criteria, when I’m out there buying running clothes, is that they shouldn’t look too ‘runny’. Because if they look too much like running clothes I… Continue Reading
Trampolines: great for kids and runners!
We recently got ourselves a trampoline! Finally! I’ve wanted one for years, because I always hear parents saying how their kids love playing on the trampoline, and how they never get tired of jumping up and down. And trampolines are great for runners too: they provide a nice work out! If you want one too,… Continue Reading
