Getting over yourself

Hello Dear Reader, nice to see you again. It's been a week of getting over things. Limiting beliefs, expectations of other people, systems and emails and all those things which we let live rent free in our brains at times. For the first time, I told someone other

Had a week off and went for a long run

Hello Dear Reader, you may have noticed that I had a week off from writing last week. Instead I ran my second ever half marathon and learned a few things. The first thing I learned was, I run completely differently in organised events than I do when my partner and

Shoes, glorious shoes

Look after yourself before you look after others

My wonderful friend is a dumbass. Who gets told "go to A&E" by their GP and waits three weeks before actually going to minor injuries?? I love my friend and I find her endlessly frustrating. She is an awesome human, she wants to help everyone, and

I never thought I'd like yoga

I have liked sport for my whole life, watching, playing, running about like a loony. Rugby, football, netball, speed, power and agility. Competition, got to be the best, have to win all the time, never stop! As a scientist, I'm very logical. I've never really been
