My Biggest Running Challenge

October 20, 2019 thecakemum

In the last 12 months, I've gone from 10 km runner to running longer distances. 2019 is a big year for me. I ran a 10 mile race in February and my first ever half marathon in April. I had wanted to do a half marathon for quite a while and was thrilled to finally… Continue reading My Biggest Running Challenge

Eek – Trim 10 mile

January 21, 2019January 21, 2019 thecakemum

I'm a 5-10k runner, more 5-8k if I'm entirely honest. This year, I want to push myself and see what I can achieve. My goal is to do a half marathon in 2019, so I've signed up for a 10 mile race. I should point out I've never run 10 miles in my life, but… Continue reading Eek – Trim 10 mile

Running like a girl

February 19, 2018 thecakemum

My Running Journey

February 9, 2018February 17, 2018 thecakemum

I never thought that I would run. When our kids were very small, we used to go to the park early on a Saturday morning and I cursed the park run under my breath - the runners took up all the parking spaces and the coffee stand was crazy busy after the run. If you… Continue reading My Running Journey

My first 5 mile

January 29, 2018February 9, 2018 thecakemum

Looking at the times I do for 5k and the only 10k run that I ever did, I got the notion that I'd like to do my first 5 mile, in a time of 45-something. Nothing scientific about the number - but it had a nice ring to it. The run was busy, for the… Continue reading My first 5 mile

5 Mile Road Race

January 17, 2018January 17, 2018 thecakemum

Run 5 miles, on a cold day in January? You must be mad. That's what I said last year. I remember, watching people do the 'Raheny 5 Mile' and wondering what the appeal was. This year, I signed up. Voluntarily. Sometimes, I surprise myself.
