My new iPad
My iPad 1 is being sold tonight on eBay and has been replaced with a new iPad. I’m not going to review the new iPad here, I’m sure there are plenty of sites doing that tonight. I want to talk about the experience I had buying it, unboxing it and finally getting my hands on it.
Spring is coming…
Ah yes, the buds are swelling on the trees, the daffodils are bursting through the ground and the birds are singing their hearts out. Spring is on it’s way…

For the love of running
With 2011 almost over and my last race of the year finished, I’ve been reflecting on my love of running. Just why do I love it so much? Enough to make me buy a headtorch and run on cold winter’s nights. Enough to get myself back up again after falling flat on my face and finish that run. Enough to get up early, drive to a race and run til I’ve got nothing left to give and then some. Coping with bad weather, sore toes and cold noses is just part of the runners winter skill set. I’ve pulled muscles, am about to lose a toe nail and grazed myself in places you can’t even imagine with a fall. Yet I still love it – why?
BHF Santa Jog
Yesterday, I ran 8k around Willen Lake in Milton Keynes with a bunch of unlikely runners all dressed up as Santa Clauses! It was a cold and windy run and I was glad for the extra layer that of the Santa outfit (provided as part of the race entry). The race was 1, 2 or 3 laps of the lake and I’m pleased to report that I was the first lady Santa to cross the line at 4k and 8k. I decided to quit while I was ahead and not run the other lap just so I could say ‘I won’!
Dirt Half Marathon
It was the Dirt Half Marathon yesterday – the event I’ve been training for since returning from the Alps in August. I’d seen a running coach, trained hard, avoided illness and injury and arrived healthy and fit on the start line. What would the race hold for me? I had no idea how fast I was, how hard it was going to be on my body or what the course was really like. I woke up yesterday morning and thought ‘Yikes’!
