Before I expound on my Saturday morning exploits at the Lewa marathon event, I feel honour bound to point out that I completed the half marathon. To those (including my husband) who completed the full marathon, I salute your bravery, stamina and foolhardiness with a degree of awe! So, to an account of my 21km … Continue reading My Lewa Marathon for Tusk Trust
Tomorrow is the big day
Here in Lewa and getting nervous. We've had our race briefing where the excellent security & safety features of the event were detailed along with the rules. We are staying at the fabulous Lewa Safari Camp, as we did when David ran the marathon last year. They are doing a splendid job looking after us … Continue reading Tomorrow is the big day

91 days and counting
It's 91 days until the Lewa half marathon. So today I've started working on my speed training. Never was a phrase more inappropriate. Fast I am not. Good job my approach is more tortoise than hare. I'm aiming to increase the duration of my running legs so have found a 2.5km circuit and did my … Continue reading 91 days and counting
Novice runner training guru wanted!
So I've been thinking about race training for novice runners and after extensive internet research, I have decided that training appears to cause more injuries than races! That doesn't mean I'm considering not training at all, however it does mean that I need to seriously consider my strategy (after all completing the event at a … Continue reading Novice runner training guru wanted!
150 days to go
Today my fundraising page happily informed me that there are 150 days until the Lewa marathon event! Yikes! However I am proud that I have filled my circles (Apple Watch) each day since signing up. I've used the 7 minutes app to boost up my active calorie burn and activity count. It's not much but … Continue reading 150 days to go
A bit of a diversion
Last June (2015) my husband completed his first ever marathon; the Safaricom Marathon held in Lewa Conservancy, Kenya. I was fortunate enough to be able to take holiday to accompany him, along with our son who was aged 10 at the time. So why, over 6 months after the event, am I now writing about … Continue reading A bit of a diversion
Day One with Apple Watch
Having received my Apple Watch on launch day I finally got to open it about 10pm - after a day training and then a long drive home. So last night I basically went through basic set up - paired with iPhone, picked a watch face and chose apps to use. Took about 45 mins … Continue reading Day One with Apple Watch
Office 2016 Preview – Compare the Ribbon
I've been running Office 2016 for about a week now in my Windows 10 preview and loving them both. I'd be perfectly happy having these running on my main machine, but have learnt the hard way the previews are best kept to virtual machines. (In case you are wondering about the technical set up I'm … Continue reading Office 2016 Preview – Compare the Ribbon
Why on earth do you want one of those?
I'm getting an Apple Watch because I am easily influenced by the Apple marketing machine. And I admit that it's 'cos its a new gadget that will get folks talking. Plus I like having new tech first. But, I've also thought about this a lot and finally made the decision based on how I think it … Continue reading Why on earth do you want one of those?
