Perfect Autumn Day

Out running at 1.32pm. I try to always ensure that I’m outside for at least an hour each day.

Shopping is not my thing

I don’t like product placement in blogs (naming a lip gloss here, perfume there or woollen cap wherever is so not my thing). I like to read (or see) about the person and their life, rather than their shopping habits (although I do love a good book recommendation). However, Stella McCartney’s latest collection for Adidas has entranced me so much that I hope you’ll indulge me (just this once). I don’t make my own exercise clothes, but if I did, I’d love it if they looked like this ...

Run and Become

There are many raw transformation stories out there, but Matt’s is a particular favourite of mine. His story and site so inspired me that last year (or was it the year before?) I went out and bought some running shoes and socks. I had flexibility and strength but cardiovascular fitness was my weak point in the sports triad. Instead of ignoring this I faced it head on. I’d never thought of myself as a runner, but if the raw vegan diet is life-changing then running is too. Even with the smallest of baby steps I have ‘run and become’ someone else entirely.
