The Diminutive Runner: October 2012
http://diminutiverunner.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Short legs. Lofty goals. Thursday, 4 October 2012. What’s a runner without any races? For me, my busiest racing period ever was the 8 months from September 2011 to May 2012. During that time I ran:. 17 Sep 2011 – Dublin Half Marathon. 13 Nov 2011 – Poppy Half Marathon (Bexhill). 20 Nov 2011 - Old Deer Park 10K (Richmond). 07 Jan 2012 - Southern California Half Marathon(Irvine). 19 Feb 2012 – Brighton Half Marathon. 04 Mar 2012 - Regent's Park 10K. 27 May 2012 - Edinburgh - 4:49:28 (PB).

The Diminutive Runner: December 2011
http://diminutiverunner.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Short legs. Lofty goals. Saturday, 31 December 2011. The highs and lows of 2011. I feel like I must be old for saying this, but 2011 has really flown by. I'm sure that it was only yesterday when I was thinking, "I hope I can run without injuring myself again! And now it's nearly 2012 and I can't believe what I've been able to accomplish in a year. The highlights for me in 2011:. Running again after my injury. PBs in both the 10K (56.43) and half marathon (2.01.43). Hitting my highest weekly volume ever.

The Diminutive Runner: February 2012
http://diminutiverunner.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Short legs. Lofty goals. Tuesday, 21 February 2012. Reflections on the Brighton Half, or How I'm feeling after missing the sub-2 mark- AGAIN! Rowenanews called me a "small ball of fury" this morning. When I told Hubs he laughed and said, "Sounds like she knows you well! My disappointment on Sunday was replaced by fury yesterday, when the Brighton Half officially acknowledged the distance error. Or if I had blown away the sub-2 mark even at the longer distance? Or if it had been my first half? In general,...

The Diminutive Runner: Review: Youth vs Girls' vs Women's - which tights are better for a petite runner? Part 1
http://diminutiverunner.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-youth-vs-girls-vs-womens-which.html
Short legs. Lofty goals. Monday, 5 December 2011. Review: Youth vs Girls' vs Women's - which tights are better for a petite runner? Running tights or leggings have always been awkward for me. They are usually about a foot too long and often with zippers at the ankles, not very easy to alter. Luckily, the weather in Southeast England is temperate enough that up until now, I've been able to get by just wearing capris during the winter season. So I decided to go on a mission:. But then I got thinking. Youth...

The Diminutive Runner: My Training Plan
http://diminutiverunner.blogspot.com/p/my-training-plan.html
Short legs. Lofty goals. Currently on a career break, I'm trying to take this opportunity to get in the best shape of my life! I'm also still trying to break sub-2:00 in the half marathon. My training plan for the Brighton Half is from 'Run Faster' by Brad Hudson and Matt Fitzgerald. I felt this plan would help me not only to run faster, but also increase my overall running volume in preparation for the Edinburgh Marathon in May. Hard run (fartlek, intervals, hill repetitions, threshold, progression).

The Diminutive Runner: Yes, I’ve been scared to run!
http://diminutiverunner.blogspot.com/2012/10/yes-ive-been-scared-to-run.html
Short legs. Lofty goals. Tuesday, 2 October 2012. Yes, I’ve been scared to run! I love running.so why have I been so scared to do it? Once I withdrew from the London Tri, I should have just run for fun whenever I had the time. Randomly during the week when I could and on weekends, definitely. No pressure, right? But instead I avoided it. Partly because I knew that I was out of shape. But mostly because I was scared. Yes, scared to run. How do you guys do it? I have finally accepted that any running was g...

The Diminutive Runner: January 2012
http://diminutiverunner.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Short legs. Lofty goals. Monday, 30 January 2012. Night owl to early bird. I have always been a night owl. When I was about 3 years old, my parents let me stay up one night as an experiment. Just to see how long I'd last. When I was still happily playing at 2am, they finally gave up and put me to bed! It just fuels my nocturnal tendencies! As a result of this I have NEVER been a morning person. I hate getting up early (especially for flights)! Did I just say that? I know I shouldn't freak out or whine ab...
