ksweeswee: We did it!
http://ksweeswee.blogspot.com/2011/03/we-did-it.html
Thursday, 10 March 2011. After months of training, fundraising, tweeting, blogging and more training, Team Bangs on the Run finally pounded the streets of Paris on Sunday. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my certificate to prove it. My time: 2 hours 3 minutes 21 seconds. The race was amazing. But that wasn't the case the whole way through. Here are the highs and lows (I'll update with pictures as soon as I can):. The beautiful (if chilly) weather. The amazing crowds (especially the adorable kids).

ksweeswee: September 2011
http://ksweeswee.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 28 September 2011. Not just any Tuesday. A standard weekend haul for Run Dem Crew. I haven't written much about Run Dem Crew. I'm going to keep it that way, because nothing I can write will capture what it's like to be part of that family. Yesterday was medal presentation day for the crew members who completed Run To The Beat and the Berlin Marathon this weekend, and graduation day for the Run Dem Crew Youngers. Links to this post. Labels: Run Dem Crew. Monday, 26 September 2011. I finally sto...

ksweeswee: May 2011
http://ksweeswee.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 18 May 2011. Operation Abs: 6 weeks in. I can't believe it's been six weeks since I started Operation Abs - it's whizzed by. I must confess, I've fallen off the wagon a little lately, giving into those nasty little chocolate cravings when I know I should just be riding them out. But other than that, I've stuck to the plan. No rice, pasta, bread, potatoes or coffee. I learned early on that talking about my diet to people (especially when eating out) only results in one of two reactions:. Lunch ...

ksweeswee: March 2012
http://ksweeswee.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 20 March 2012. So, you know when you have a lovely little blog about running and training, then have a bad experience. At a race and that knocks your confidence for a bit so you fall out of love with running and stop doing it for a little while and have nothing to blog about? And then you're bullied into starting training for that half marathon you signed up for. Because all your friends had but had no intention of actually running because you hate running now? Hi you guys, I've missed you.

ksweeswee: The test
http://ksweeswee.blogspot.com/2011/09/test.html
Thursday, 22 September 2011. Yes I know everyone's sick of these, but I like this one, so there. If you've spoken to me about my training. I wasn't excited about the races. I've been bleated and whined 'But I don't waaaant to! To anyone who was kind enough to ask me how training was going. And I meant it. I did. Not. Want. To. If I could, I would have gone back to my May self and stopped her signing up. Tuesday. Run Dem Crew. To declare I'd have to pull out of RTTB, I was gutted. Want the option, y'know?

ksweeswee: Anyone for a catch up?
http://ksweeswee.blogspot.com/2012/07/anyone-for-catch-up.html
Thursday, 12 July 2012. Anyone for a catch up? I've been missing my lovely little blog of late, missing thinking up blog posts to make the morning run go faster, then writing it up and sending it out into the ether. But before I start again, I'll explain why it stopped - then we can get back on with the fun stuff. And saw to it that I ran track. If you haven't ever been to a track session before, let me warn you - you will. A new PB and 9 minutes off my Paris time. Running when the plan says. That's Tues...

ksweeswee: Back in training
http://ksweeswee.blogspot.com/2011/07/back-in-training.html
Monday, 11 July 2011. It's been a little over four months since I ran the Paris Half Marathon. With Team Bangs on the Run. Four months is a long time to give up running regularly. I know this because I'm finally back in training and it ain't easy. If you follow me on Twitter. You may know that I'm currently training for not one, but TWO half marathons. Two. Half. Marathons. Luckily, I've picked two of London's most exciting half marathons. First up, on 25 September is Nike's Run To The Beat. 19:00 - I tr...

ksweeswee: 63 days later
http://ksweeswee.blogspot.com/2011/09/63-days-later.html
Monday, 12 September 2011. I know this has nothing to do with anything I'm saying,. But I'm hoping it'll make you forgive me. Is there a blogging version of Social Services? If so, you guys should have reported me for abandonment. Apparently I took an nine week long summer holiday from my blog without telling you. For shame. I won't bore you with excuses or the mundane details of the last 63 days, but here are a few highlights:. I joined Run Dem Crew. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love it.

ksweeswee: July 2012

Tuesday, 31 July 2012. Form, form form. Flickr image from katclay. I was prepared for the tight calves, the blisters, the familiar burning feeling in my lungs as I dragged myself round the parks and streets of South London. One thing I hadn't prepared for was my complete loss of form. I need to do something about my running form sharpish because I can't keep running like a baby elephant. Here's some of the stuff I've pulled out of the depths of my memory:. I remember when I first started running, I had a...
