a journey in rediscovery
Helpless
War and conflict and violence ravage our world. We don’t label them as world wars like before. There are too many sides. Too many different conflicts. Too many causes. Too many weapons. Verbal, physical, political. Physical violence scares me the most. The though of those in unbearable pain. Images seen through a screen, too vivid…
Only questions
In a society hell bent on dividing us, can we see the humanity in one another? In a community that no longer relies on each other, can we speak with our neighbour? In a body seen for productivity, can we allow it to rest? In a mind so unhappy, can we change tact and lead…
A Rocky Luteal Phase
Understanding my infradian rhythm and adding in into my schedule is an ongoing project.

But I kinda enjoyed the cooler weather for running, the…

Week 5: a Series of Little Moments
There was a lot of green this week. I always thought blue was my favourite colour, I love blue sky and the blue sea. But now that my runs don’t involve running to or along the coast, I’m beginning to appreciate the greenery more than I have before. The UK countryside is BEAUTIFUL. One good…
Training Schedule Pt. 2
Some of you may remember me pondering the pros and cons of a training schedule a little while ago (hop back to it here). At that point in time I wasn’t following a training schedule at all. I needed to calm the hell down from a lifetime of continually expecting too much from myself. A…
