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.

A great 10k race on a sunny morning




I ran the Bath Skyline 10k yesterday in the glorious sunshine. I was a little nervous as I haven't run this distance for a while but once the race started it was more about enjoying the run and not falling over. It was an off-road 10k, part of a series of runs organised by Relish Running Races. See the route map below.

There was lots of mud, hills and narrow paths to negotiate and some great views of Bath too. Though I have to admit I didn't enjoy the views so much as I was concentrating on just trying to get round the course. The great thing with a more technical course is that the distance just seems to go by without realising as you are concentrating so much on the twists and turns of the paths and the slippy rocks. I loved this course. Loads of fun. Just my kind of thing. Thanks Susan for joining me.

The organisers mentioned they would be doing a Dyrham Park 10k in the summer and a route around Cheddar Gorge - possibly a half marathon or even a marathon. No doubt lots of Cheddar Gorge climbers could be interested in that challenge.
