Don’t make me do the mums’ race… ever

June 8, 2016 By Ellen

Team Bundance in training I wrote this in 2012, but it’s sports day again this week… To my left a woman in running shorts – bare, muscled calves twitching to be off. Taller than me by a head.  On the right the short-haired mum has pulled off her floral blouse to reveal a running top […]

117/365 Things I have learned from training for the Glasgow Women’s 10K

April 27, 2013 By Ellen

I know the 10K is still a fortnight away. Yes. Just a fortnight! However, it seemed like a good point to do this post.  I did my first 10K in 2001 and then again a year later. I’m not a runner, it was more about seeing if I could actually do it. Super Sister and […]
