What Happened in Warsaw
Our long weekend started like any other running weekend away, only this time we had Vincent and Wendy with us. We headed out early for the airport, and it was pretty much smooth sailing all the way to Warsaw. Once we arrived we caught the bus to Central Station and, because it was still fairly…

Recap: Lisbon Rock ‘n Roll Marathon 2015
So, Lisbon! The Headliner of my Rock ‘n Roll tour this year. The one that earned me not only an amazing marathon bling but also the Groupie medal! Oh how I love RnR races. And no, not just because I’m a rock’n blogger, I truly, truly dig the whole organisation! With that… the recap: Ugh,…
Recap: Cologne Marathon 2015
So I think it’s fairly safe to say that training for Marathon Number Three was not optimal. I struggled sticking to the schedule and well there was summer holiday thrown in there and I was making excuses for drinking alcohol (something I gave up for Paris) and not sticking 100% to my diet. My last…

Liverpool – Rock n Roll Marathon Day! (Part II)
On Sunday we woke up early to hit the breakfast bar on time. It wasn’t totally ideal but we did our best with carbs (cereal, toast, danish) and sweet things like honey and jam. We also had our carb-loader drink and prepared another to take with us. Since we were VIP we weren’t too worried…
Rock n Roll Liverpool Marathon Weekend!
Before I start off with what a FANTABULOUS weekend the Hubs and I had, I want to add this little, yet important, full disclosure: As part of the Rock ‘N’ Blog 2015 team I and the Hubs received free race entries & VIP experience. However all opinions regarding my experience are entirely my own. Phew.…
The Marathon Recap – Paris, the Big Day (Part II)
After a fairly restful night’s sleep, the alarm woke us at 05:10 so that we could eat on time and meet up with the rest of the group around 6:30am < insert yawn here > to take the Metro towards the Arc du Triomphe. There were 6 of us running and coincidentally a pair of…
The Marathon Recap – Paris Edition! Part 1
I know a few weeks have passed now but honestly it’s been tough to actually put the feelings into words for my first marathon. When I initially started training I did have a time in mind for my finish. At some point I realised that time wasn’t really going to matter much, the point was…
