London Winter Run 10k

February 5, 2019 ~ Suzi ~ Leave a comment

Before I get started writing about the race, I want to answer the Big Question, which is: should a vegan be entering a race sponsored by Cancer Research, who fund animal testing?  I've thought long and hard about this, and as you can see, I did enter.  I see it the same as taking part … Continue reading London Winter Run 10k

The Last Thing That We Need is Hope

January 24, 2019 ~ Suzi ~ Leave a comment

Hope, in reality, is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs the torments of man - Nietzsche  I completed my last Long Slow Run before the Olympic Park Half today.  19 kilometres in nearly freezing temperatures, to the Olympic Park and back.  I remember the days when just running to Stratford and getting a … Continue reading The Last Thing That We Need is Hope

Mile End parkrun

October 27, 2018October 27, 2018 ~ Suzi ~ 4 Comments

Mile End is the tenth closest parkrun from where I live and one I have been saving up for when it gets too cold to be getting on trains to Darkest Essex.  That time has definitely come: in fact the average temperature as per my Garmin dropped from 22c to 6c between my last parkrun … Continue reading Mile End parkrun

Wanstead Flats parkrun

March 3, 2018October 14, 2018 ~ Suzi ~ Leave a comment

This week the UK was hit by the "Beast from the East", an outbreak of unseasonably cold weather featuring high winds at thick snow. This, sadly, put paid to my plans to visit Folkestone parkrun. I decided to go it local instead. The parkrun cancellations came in thick and fast. Finsbury Park was one of … Continue reading Wanstead Flats parkrun

Brighton Half Marathon 2018

February 26, 2018February 26, 2018 ~ Suzi ~ Leave a comment

In the end I went with Plan B (just get round) but really I should have stuck with Plan C (drop out halfway) or even Plan E (fuck it all off and go to the pub).  It was a shocker.  I'm feeling pretty down about the whole thing so please excuse the negative tone of … Continue reading Brighton Half Marathon 2018

Chelmsford Central parkrun

January 21, 2018January 21, 2018 ~ Suzi ~ Leave a comment

Shortly after my first parkrun (last March), I happened to be in Chelmsford for my Other Hobby and took a walk through Central Park.  I was struck by what a lovely park is was and was very jealous of the people of Chelmsford having it as their home run.  I wondered if it would be … Continue reading Chelmsford Central parkrun

Dulwich parkrun

January 7, 2018January 7, 2018 ~ Suzi ~ Leave a comment

This weekend's parkrun marked a return to my usual form of A Bit Slow rather than Completely Useless.  I picked Dulwich this week because a) descriptions of the course on the parkrun Facebook group made it sound appealing b) I was staying at my mother's house in Beckenham, and she offered to drive me there. … Continue reading Dulwich parkrun

Long Run, Take 2

December 16, 2017December 16, 2017 ~ Suzi ~ Leave a comment

A quick entry to record the fact that three days after my disasterous "long" run, the snow had thawed and the temperature had reached a balmy 5C, so I decided to give it another go.  What a difference five degrees makes!  This time, the run felt effortless and joyful.  The sky was blue, the birds … Continue reading Long Run, Take 2

A Run of Misery

December 12, 2017December 12, 2017 ~ Suzi ~ Leave a comment

I am not usually someone who struggles with motivation when it comes to running.  I have spent so long being injured and unable to run that I count every run as a blessing.  I count down the days to my long run, I wake up brimming with excitement as I get my running kit on.  … Continue reading A Run of Misery

I Hate Weather

November 30, 2017December 3, 2017 ~ Suzi ~ Leave a comment

Snow in London today (ok, about four flakes, but still) and absolutely freezing cold.  I was very glad that I'd got my long run in yesterday and that today dwas a designated "rest day" (by "rest" I mean "12 hour work shift", there is no real rest in my life.) I am very fussy with … Continue reading I Hate Weather
