Champneys Health Resorts are offering a ‘Running Camp’ day at their Champneys Springs resort at Ashby de la Zouche, Leicestershire on 6th Feb. I signed up as soon as I saw this but noticed that they reserve the right to cancel if they don’t get much interest in it. So calling all runners – come join me at Champneys ‘cos I’d hate for it to be cancelled as I’m really looking forward to it and meeting some like minded runners! UPDATE – 6th Feb was cancelled – am now booked in on the 24th April instead – fingers crossed for this time! read more…
Well, I’m pleased to report that 3 weeks into my new stretching routine my hamstrings are less tight – I can now get my foot level with my rib cage which is a definite improvement. In addition to the changes in my original article I’ve also started to stretch the hamstring for 15 seconds and release for 5 seconds repeating 5 times every morning. This is great news for me and my back – I’ll keep you updated! Read the original article here.
About 7 years ago before I became a nutritionist I decided I was too heavy but I couldn’t work out why I wasn’t losing weight.

Hmmm…. now where did I put the rice??
I’ve been running for about 5 years now and thought I’d pay homage to my long suffering husband for putting up with my strange running habits. From getting up in the dark, running in the rain and many hours at the gym he’s been there through it all. He doesn’t even understand running when there’s a perfectly good mountain bike sitting idle in the garage. I dedicate this article to all non-running partners…
