About Me

I'm not a serious runner, and I'm certainly not that competitive. I'm someone who has two children, reached her 40's and simply wants to stay fit and feel good. I am writing this blog to share my thoughts, experiences and hopefully inspire others to take up running and explore green spaces in a city and further afield. I work as a freelance journalist and a part-time school librarian, and write this blog purely for love. Please feel free to comment and I'll do my best to reply and continue to write an entertaining blog.

Half Term Hols - Croyde Bay Run

So I haven't blogged for a while as I have been away for the half term hols in the camper. Managed to do just one run while I was away. Roughly a 5k run from the campsite in Croyde to Baggy Point and back. The route included running through sand dunes (a good test for the recovering shin splints), a steep climb up Middleborough Hill, weaving between caravans in the sea-front holiday park and part of the South West Coast Path. Probably not my favourite coastal run as I had to negotiate running through Croyde on a busy day, but it was great to get on the coast path - once I found it. I asked a guy in one of the surfing schools where the coast path was and he didn't have a clue. Couldn't believe it! Thankfully his colleague had more local knowledge. Didn't see anyone rock climbing at Baggy. Probably too early for most climbers.

Need to get back into regular running now I'm back in Bristol. Just came across Juneathon. Could be a good way to up the running.
