The Original Crapa Pelada…..
Back by popular demand? Not quite. But I’m back anyways. Doing everything except running. That marathon adventure proper burnt me out. And while I haven’t asked for a divorce, I have asked running to try a trial separation. While he’s been living next door, I’ve been entertaining every [...]
I will rise now…
Every tweet/instagram/blog post has beautifully bee condensed into 8 minutes of emotional visuals. Love and Respect to Danielle of WonderLondon Films. The dust has settled. The medal takes up prize position on my fathers shelf. This part of the journey has come to an end. What is funnily enough never mentioned in those pesky training [...]
Waiting for the end….VLM2012 RACE RECAP
“This is not the end. This is not the beginning…” I’m all alone in the flat. Looking up at my London Marathon bling, I have to fight back the tears. I can’t believe I have fluid left within my sockets. Every time I think I am done, another text comes though and [...]

What more can I say?
I am sitting up in bed, when I should be on my way to a meeting with my solicitor. But walking isn’t really top of my list today. Why? I RAN TWENTY MILES YESTERDAY! I KNOW. LETS ALL (ME) TAKE A MOMENT TO REALIZE WHAT THAT IS. For me [...]
No fear of falling…
If only you could see the way my fingers are dancing across this keyboard. People have mentioned that the sound of my acrylics, hitting the black keys sound like rain. I like the rain. The post just smacked the doormat and within it is a hefty magazine from the London Marathon posse. I haven’t even [...]
My Athens….
Athens is the birthplace of the marathon. And the London Marathon is going to become the birthplace of me. It’s Mothers day! Shout out to my Ma who excused me from Sunday dinner so I could run 18miles. She doesn’t get it but supports me anyhow. I respect that. My mother had me [...]
