Pint Sized Runner: Active Knowsley 5km 2015 Race Report
http://pintsizedtorpedo.blogspot.com/2015/06/active-knowsley-5km-2015-race-report.html
Thursday, 25 June 2015. Active Knowsley 5km 2015 Race Report. This was my second race within a couple of weeks, and another race which I'd completed before, so knew what to expect. Set in the luxurious grounds of Knowsley Hall (the ancestral home of the Earls of Derby) this 5km race was the first time I'd competed as part of a team. Having cooked up some interest in work we had two 4-person teams entered, with my team including one of my best friends who I’d completed the MerseyTunnel 10k. I pushed on us...

Pint Sized Runner: December 2014
http://pintsizedtorpedo.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 26 December 2014. Running in to the new year. For the last couple of years I've really wanted to run in to the new year; that is start a run on 31st December, and finish it 1st January. It just sounds so. cool. Unfortunately, due to some form of injury or another I've never quite managed it, and the romantic notion of it has never slipped my mind or left me (or how back to the future-esque it MUST feel). Vest to race even once, I've learned to appreciate the little things. Sunday, 7 December 2014.

RACE RECAP: Adidas Thunder Run 2014 - Naturally Leah
http://www.naturallyleah.com/exercise/race-recap-adidas-thunder-run-2014
About Me – The Long Version. Disclosure & Policies. July 29, 2014. RACE RECAP: Adidas Thunder Run 2014. And yet, since I have become a runner – which is typically seen as a solo sport – I have found myself thriving in a team situation. There was no better illustration of teamwork than what I experienced in the weekend just gone when I took on the Adidas Thunder Run as part of the “Thunderbabes” (as we affectionately named ourselves – original huh? David and our team leader Becs. I admitted to my team tha...

Pint Sized Runner: July 2015
http://pintsizedtorpedo.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, 5 July 2015. A tale of two races. For me, racing is the best part of running; it's the culmination of all your training and hard miles you've put in and for the chance to push yourself against like-minded individuals. On occasion they can be the worst part of running, as I discovered this weekend. In the last two weeks I 'completed' two races; a local club organised 10k road race, and an independent company organised 10k tough mudder type race. Expect a race to start on time, and to ensure I get ...

Pint Sized Runner: Race Report: Liverpool Spring 10km 2015
http://pintsizedtorpedo.blogspot.com/2015/05/race-report-liverpool-spring-10km-2015.html
Monday, 4 May 2015. Race Report: Liverpool Spring 10km 2015. It's always nice to get a bit of déjà vu when writing a race report; it generally means you've run the race before, and, chances are, if you've run it before and are willing to run it again, it was a good 'un. The weather on the morning was abysmal; heavy driving rain, the kind which makes you want to put the fire on and snuggle up on the sofa with a massive cup of tea and your. After several kilometres a running club buddy saddled up beside me...

Pint Sized Runner: July 2014
http://pintsizedtorpedo.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 22 July 2014. Insert deep and meaningful title here. Its been a little while, such a little while that I'm not quite sure how to go about this first-post-back, so I'll keep it simple. I've been running again for around 6 weeks now, easing back in to it to build up my stamina and getting my body used to running (I have never felt so unfit in my entire life! So far, so good, but about damn time if you ask me! I have plenty of targets in my mind but for now, it is amazing to feel like a runner!

http://pintsizedtorpedo.blogspot.com/2015/05/enoying-good-aches.html
Saturday, 30 May 2015. Enoying the good aches. And hating the bad ones. When you're flying with your running, you forget how long it took to get to that level of fitness and focus; the long runs in the sweeping rain, the tempo runs in the boiling heat, the aching joints afterwards. They were nothing, something that came with the territory, and only added to the feeling of invincibility having completed your run despite those conditions. There's one segment which I'll complete pretty much every time I lac...

Pint Sized Runner: February 2015
http://pintsizedtorpedo.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 13 February 2015. HRM - you and me need to talk. My watch of choice when running is the Garmin 305; despite it looking like you may be able to land a helicopter on it I absolutely love it. Today I went for the 'wear it high' approach. If you don't know what my 'wear it high' approach insinuates, well, basically, I wore it AN (above nipples). Now, for all I know that could. So, HRM and I will have a chat, and if it doesn't behave, it's going back in the box. Monday, 9 February 2015. Anyway, everyt...
