7 shin splint beating tips: I’ve just run my 400th km of 2016
Last year in June, I wrote a bye bye shin splints, just run my 500th km of 2015 blog. Well, it’s not even April 2016 and I’ve already run 400km – nearly doubling my kilometres per month. Last year, that was a massive personal best – running short 6km and long 10km routes. Now my short runs are...

The EU referendum’s hit the pound. Should you buy euros and other holiday currency now for the summer?

Tiny – the littlest elephant in the world
Story time is one of the highlights of my day – yet mini MSE won’t let me get away with just reading them out of a book. I have to make up a story on demand (or often repeat an old one she was particularly fond of). Last summer, I wrote down her favourite, my the biggest...

10 January 2022This is my sixth annual steps blog. My well-documented obsession with the 'quantified self' is showing no sign of abating. According to my tracker, I did 9,284,614 steps (nearly 400,000 more than last year) – a ridiculous, hopefully healthy obsession. -
