Postpartum April 2023
Five months ago I gave birth to our daughter, Mara. After a successful induction due to Mara being both 9 days past her due date and an IVF baby I had a natural birth.

Highland Fling 2018 Race Reflections
I had not intended to enter the 2018 Fling, with the West Highland Way race in the same year. Back in 2016 it took me 6 weeks to recover enough to even want to run again. I was scared I could not recover in time for the WHWrace, just 8 weeks later. Neil my Chief Crewman, … Continue reading Highland Fling 2018 Race Reflections
