Bites and miles: recipes for runners

11 September 202302 September 2023 Kim2 Comments

Towards the end of August, I shared my journey towards becoming a runner.

It started with a Race For Life event for Cancer Research UK around 15 years ago and gradually progressed from there. I now take part in a race at least once a year as a way of showing my support for SpecialEffect, a charity that helps people with physical disabilities to experience the joy of video games.

Apprenticeship assessment: the final boss

04 September 202326 September 2023 Kim6 Comments

The last update about my apprenticeship was shared at the beginning of August.

This was written the day after the deadline to submit my work-based project. Having to limit everything I wanted to say to within 3,500 words was a real struggle and I’m sure I spent more time editing the report down than I did actually writing it. I was glad to see the back of it.

My first half-marathon run this morning! Why am I putting myself through this? Find out in a blog post tomorrow morning... #running Hard run today due to the wind. But making the most of it while it's not raining! #running It has been a bit of a weird week for us here in the Later Levels' household. A health scare for a family member has meant several trips to the hospital and late nights, so there has been quite a lot of stress lately. This morning's long-run was a chance to breathe and refocus. A huge moth came into our garden this morning. He was actually quite cute.
