West London runner, mother of teenage sons, and BMF fan, sometimes found on the Isle of Wight.

I’m Rachel and I run a bit and go to British Military Fitness quite a lot.

Fairweatherrunner? I do run in the rain and snow from time to time and do lots of mucking about in the mud at BMF in all weathers, but when the going gets tough and its dark, cold, raining, before breakfast, after wine o’clock or I’m on my own, I get very very good at procrastinating and making excuses not to run. I’m afraid I don’t like it when it’s too hot either.

Fortunately I discovered Janathon and Juneathon (jog, log and blog everyday) and through the twitter and blogger running community found friends and motivation. My running mileage has increased and I have learned a lot. One thing leads to another and I ran my first marathon in 2012.

This blog is my running diary and record, my race reports and training, my rants and daily rambles of all sorts in Janathon and Juneathon and when I’m lucky enough to have the opportunity to try products, my reviews. It helps spare my non-running friends and family from the full details of highs and lows, pace, training plans, running kit, injuries and black toenails.
