A CRUK, Slimming World Parkrun

July 16, 2016 by Louise Leave a Comment

This morning BM and I took part in the Tees Barrage Parkrun. I have run here before but this time was different. Local Slimming World groups in association with Cancer Research UK came out in force to take part. A fundraising event for the additional runners or walkers, arranged alongside the local Parkrun volunteers. A … [Read more…]

The importance of having a plan

July 11, 2016 by Louise Leave a Comment

After finishing my recent RWRunStreak and having a well earned rest, everything appears to have gone to pot. Some new teeth for BM the fast approaching summer holidays, my imminent return to work, I’ve got a lot on my mind.

Little Mummy Resting

July 5, 2016 by Louise Leave a Comment

I know I said in yesterday’s post (My Summer Runner’s World Run Streak) that I would carry on running. But today I am resting. I have chosen to listen to my body. My legs are fatigued and my brain is a bit tired. Today the runner’s high was just not worth chasing, because sometimes you … [Read more…]

My Summer Runner’s World Run Streak

July 4, 2016 by Louise 1 Comment

Today is the 4th of July 2016. The final day of my Summer Runner’s World Run Streak. 36 days of running a minimum of one mile per day. It was a challenge that emerged at a time when I needed to address my sudden lack of “me time” and regular running. I would like to … [Read more…]

Race 7: Back to School for a Race for Life

July 3, 2016 by Louise Leave a Comment

Today I ran my seventh race. The Durham 5k Race for Life. Like so many of the people I ran with today, my life and that of my family have been touched by cancer. I have seen first hand how, in an incredibly short space of time, this disease can destroy a life. When I … [Read more…]

Today in the Monkey House: A 2 minute Silence (sort of)

July 1, 2016 by Louise 2 Comments

Parents, have you ever felt that by 9.00am it should already be bedtime? That so much has happened since you were pulled from your sleep that your body clock is way out of sync with the rest of the world? How much would you welcome a moments silence. Well this has been my day so … [Read more…]

It started with a sandwich

June 18, 2016 by Louise 1 Comment

How cool is a sandwich? It can be simple or complicated. Hot or cold. Plain or elaborate. It takes no time to make, depending on it’s level of complication. I love a nice sandwich. More so since a sandwich was the cornerstone of my recovery. In amongst the raindrops during my Raindrops to Rainbows story, I was … [Read more…]

Inspirational? If you say so…but Superwoman I am not.

June 15, 2016 by Louise 4 Comments

Since starting this blog, the word “inspirational” has been used a lot. In a week where I have unintentionally set out on the school run in my slippers; left my house and car keys hanging out of my car door next to my front door; told my baby to p*%s off at 5am (more than … [Read more…]

Little Mummy Running on Holiday…yes, really!

June 10, 2016 by Louise Leave a Comment

I’ve been quiet over the last week because I have been on holiday with the Monkeys. Four nights in a mobile Monkey House. Thankfully Mr LMR upgraded our booking to include 20% extra width. Very important when you are planning to spend time in an enclosed space with a pack of raucous monkeys. Holidays are … [Read more…]

Race 6: It’s all about goals

June 5, 2016 by Louise Leave a Comment

Today has been a great day. Race 6 of my 12 5k runs in 2016 and it was a belter. We ran the Alister Brownlee 5k Riverside Run and it was amazing. The last couple of weeks since my last run have been so difficult. The Monkey House has been overwhelmed with illness, and we’ve … [Read more…]
