9th June ‘25: blogging? Really??!!

I’ve been reflecting on what topics to cover in future posts; whilst the golden thread throughout will be my personal journey to the Gralloch, I’m keen to explore some broader aspects too – from mental health, diet and parenting, to holidays, village life and careers. So pretty much anything which comes to mind – but I hope that, regardless who (if anyone) reads this, it will act as an outlet, and a form of therapy, for me – especially when things feel tough.

I did manage to drag myself out for a run this morning – just 4 miles and the legs are feeling it… but it did leave me with a feeling of smugness (with a dose of sleepiness) for the rest of the day.

It’s late and I’m off to bed; where I’ll be contemplating how on earth I’m going to fit in 10hrs of training each week…. 😱
