2016 – Year in Review – running4meblog
https://running4meblog.wordpress.com/2017/01/03/2016-year-in-review
2016 – Year in Review. To say 2016 was full of hills and valleys would be an understatement. Not the rolling kind either, there were drop-offs and steep climbs. The year started with a streak – 54 consecutive days logging miles. The streak ended abruptly when I tore my calf muscle, and was on the shelf for 52 straight days. And there was this:. Yes, it took all year, but I made it! Here is 2016 by the numbers:. I ran on 177 days, an average run of 5.65 miles per day. November I geared up for the Goal 5K ...

Turkey Trot – 5K PR – running4meblog
https://running4meblog.wordpress.com/2016/11/25/turkey-trot-5k-pr
Turkey Trot – 5K PR. I have been looking forward to running a 5K on Thanksgiving all year. As the date got closer, I had more reasons for the anticipation to build. The first half of the year was spent getting injured and then recovering. That was followed by marathon training. A disappointing marathon left me needing a great 5K to salvage the Season. Oh, and the whole “giving up on the marathon distance thing…” Starting to reconsider. Stay tuned. November 25, 2016. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are co...

Work in progress…. All posts by poorepurr. Running on holiday…. March 10, 2017. I always take my running kit with me on holiday and, because I am married to a man who is very definitely not a morning person, I can often fit a run I before he’s even awake. However, on our recent trip to Skye I had running planned as part of the holiday. It was a perfect day for a run, fog, strong wind and horizontal drizzle! I did as much of the threshold session as I could, until the point where I got blown off the road ...

My Wanderaffair with Afghanistan – Ultra Runner Girl
https://ultrarunnergirl.com/2015/04/11/afghan-wanderaffair
Running (tripping and falling) my way through life! My Wanderaffair with Afghanistan. April 11, 2015. Some people have wanderlust: literally, a desire to travel and explore. Me? I don’t have wanderlust. I have full-fledged. Wanderaffairs. And they are everything you would imagine affairs to be: intoxicating, exhausting, and a little bit dangerous. Last month, I took my much-needed week of rest and relaxation from Gaza and returned to Afghanistan for the second time since l eaving there in 2013. Communica...

My efforts to overcome shin splints and become a runner. How can I possibly summarise what has happened with my running this year? Today’s run was on the island of Anglesey where we are celebrating New Year. Although the pace was slow, the scenery was much better than my usual routes 😀. Whatever your achievements have been in 2016, I congratulate you. If you’ve suffered setbacks you will overcome them in 2017. Happy New Year. Measure twice, cut once. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

How to choose your first race… | Running slowly
https://poorepurr.wordpress.com/2016/06/07/how-to-choose-your-first-race
Work in progress…. How to choose your first race…. June 7, 2016. This is a piece which I wrote a couple of years ago, I’d been running for about 6 months and wanted to take things a bit further… It seems like a good place to start my blog with. What criteria do you need to consider as you look at the race listings? I now know that is not the case, but it truly was how I felt). I was running 3-6km twice or three times a week (timing my Saturday morning runs to avoid the local Parkrun) but considering ...
