My writing energies are all used up by the pergola site. With the ebook on sale - one book sold last week! - I have to ramp up the promotion which means... Continue Reading →
I know, I know, you are dying to know how the 5k went after all that build up. So, to dispense with that - Alex finished in 22:40, I finished in 33:16 - we both thought the last hill was hell - however, I actually kept running (albeit more slowly) up the whole thing whereas is... Continue Reading →
