It’s not often an advert gets my attention. But this one certainly did. It is awesome on so many levels that I just felt I had to share it. It is produced by Sport England and is part of a campaign called THIS GIRL CAN. (Follow the #ThisGirlCan hashtag on social media.) It’s […]

Weight Watchers + Gym = WitWitWoo Vista
For those of you who have been following my Race for Life training progress (and perhaps getting very jealous at my *cough* brilliant running technique,) you may have noticed I’ve been unusually quiet. All a bit ominous, right?! My name is Kate and I haven’t run (again) for ten days.
Pretty(ish) In Pink
I may have mentioned from time to time that I happen to frequent a certain café most days, (ie. every day.) It’s my office … (that just happens to make awesome coffee,) and it’s where I come to do most of my writing. I spent most of my degree here – writing essays on Shakespeare […]
Race For Life: Training Resumes
I’m pleased to report that this week’s training for Race For Life video doesn’t come from the café this week ….. instead, from the mean streets of Medway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xWeM4Fuv1g So … how did I manage to finally get my booty of the sofa and go running? Couple of things happened this week that spurred […]
Race For Cake
So … my running update this week comes to you via … my favourite café. Yup, suffice to say, training last week didn’t go well. As in, I ran once … and that was back to my car before the Traffic Warden got there. This is known in the business as an ERF … an […]

On Easter Sunday, when I should have been eating Creme Eggs in bed I […]
Race For Life – Eeek!
It’s ironic that I’m writing this particular post from the confines of my sick bed. I’m still laid up with a crappy neck (medical term.) It’s extremely painful, I’m drugged up to the eyeballs and I feel like chopping my head off … just to get some relief. So what better time to sign up […]
The One Where I Stopped Running
For those of you who follow my blog, you’ll know I’m a fledgling runner. I’ve talked about how tough I’ve found it but also how it’s finally paying dividends and the weight is slowly but surely coming off. I’m not a lean, mean running machine (yet) … but it’s a start.
Scone Withdrawal
I miss my office. My café office that is. I miss the coffee, the customers staring at my laptop wondering what the hell I’m doing, the staff and especially the scones. Oh the scones (*stares dreamily off into the distance and dribbles slightly*) “My name is Kate and it’s been ten days since my last […]
