I took yesterday (and today) off originally to move house... but that's not happening - yet! So, I decided to still take the time and to use it to recharge and de-stress. Life is super stressful at the moment - what with the imminent house move, changes at work, a few health niggles, some family … Continue reading A day to myself to recharge…
Just as I've become a bit of a part-time Bearcat Club runner, I've become a part-time blogger... not because I have no love for either, simply that life is busy and other things get in the way. But I need to finish the story that I started at the end of last year with my … Continue reading 4th Time Lucky: From PT to PB

It's been six months since I last blogged... While that might sound more like an introduction at a Bloggers Anonymous gathering, it's true that I've neglected the blog since I ran the Paris Marathon back in April... mainly as I've been preoccupied with summer, work and a building project on my flat.

Festive lights and decorations adorn the streets. We wore Christmas jumpers to work last week. And all the talk is of Christmas parties and holidays. So as is tradition at this time of year, … Continue reading 2014 – A Year of Two Halves?
On Saturday I took part in the Liddes-Verbier 29km trail run in the Swiss Alps, the baby race of the Trail Verbier St-Bernard family. In the lead up to the run, I've been following a 14 week training programme of around 500 miles, and definitely not enough hills! It was my friend Tori that first introduced … Continue reading Trails and Tribulations
Over the last few weeks, there's been a lot of talk about marathons... Running bore alert! It all started a couple of Sundays ago, when I went to watch the London Marathon with fellow BeaRCat runners. London was looking resplendent in the sunshine and the iconic landmarks of Big Ben and the Embankment provided a … Continue reading A tale of three cities…
While I've been following a strict running programme since January, my Bikram Yoga practice has suffered. On Monday night, after 10 weeks off, I finally plucked up the courage to head back to Bikram... It was gruelling. I had forgotten how much of a heart-pumping, limb-stretching, sweat-inducing workout it is! To try and combat the … Continue reading Back to Basics with Bikram
And I'm still learning. When I publish this post, it will officially become my 5,000th tweet! Given 'Ginger and Spice' first started out on twitter (just over two years ago) as a mini-blogette, it felt appropriate to mark this milestone with a post looking back at my twitter/blogging journey so far… And as Twitter has recently celebrated … Continue reading 5,000 tweets into the unknown…
