Prepare for bullet points and a dump of post-run photos. Here’s a bunch of run stuff I got done these last two months:
- New 10k PB! 1’00″58 – getting closer to under an hour, my current goal.
- CELEBRITY HILL DEATHMATCH – the name my run bud Kat has given her hellish hilly/step-filled 5k route in Pontypridd. It’s truly horrible. We ran past some kind of obelisk, looked down upon Ponty, and Rob hurt his knee. (Poor Rob.)
- Half marathon training progresses! My longest run is currently 7.75 miles. I ran it with run bud Jake the day after I went to a wedding. I learnt champagne and wine are not good pre-run fuel, but at least I made it through despite the pain. (Let’s ignore the times of the last two miles…)
- I have now survived the last few Wednesday Speed Run sessions with CDF Runners. Last week was 20 minutes of Burpee-tastic circuits and it took my arms about 4 days to recover.
- My uni friends and I went camping! It was super wet and windy, but the second there was a break in the weather I dragged them all out for a 2.5 mile run in lovely scenic Pembrokeshire.
I have a few races coming up! The Butetown Mile on Aug 28th & The Cardiff 10k on Sep 11th. Wish me luck!

Good Luck with up and coming races. We are off for a very lazy time in Scotland over bank hol for a week, after an energetic week in Switzerland a couple of weeks ago. although it was called The Lazy Alps holiday – it wasnt !
Then more laziness in Menorca at end of September. although it is a walking week. Getting some exercise in between , J has taken up Rowing – on water, not too energetic sort, and I may follow suit, giving it a go next Thursday. Good to keep trying different things. but gone back to Pilates and Piloga – its such a good all over body exercise, stretches all the joints and muscles, and strengthens the core, if do it enough (must do more !).
Keep having fun.
