Croatia has been on my holiday wishlist for a long time and I don’t remember exactly what it was that first sparked my interest, but I can thank the location scouts for Game of Thrones for helping me convince Paul that it was the place that we should go for our honeymoon. After initially planning … Continue reading Honeymooning in Croatia – part 1

Hello, life
Oof, long time no see. I'm writing posts but not finishing them, leaving them languishing in the drafts folder until they gather digital dust and I can't remember what the point of them was... Since I last posted, I've been busy! My least favourite state, but this is a busy period of life. We managed … Continue reading Hello, life
On marriage, with 11 days to go
It is 11 days until my wedding day. After 28 years, I will cease to be an Adamson, and become a Wraight. I never thought I was so attached to my name; it’s not particularly special or rare, and there’s so many of us dotted around that there’s no chance of it dying out anytime … Continue reading On marriage, with 11 days to go

After last week's half marathon I was pretty sore, especially in my quads (thanks hills) and hips, as well as just general muscle fatigue, so I started the week with a couple of treadmill miles, followed by a fantastic 4 miles on Thursday. Some … Continue reading Marathon training – 6 weeks to go
Marathon training – 7 weeks to go and a race recap!
This week's training report comes along with a bonus race recap, as this morning I took part in the Cornwall Fire & Rescue Half Marathon. I say 'took part' as I don't think you can describe what I did today as 'running'...definitely more of an amble around the grounds of Lanhydrock! The week before last … Continue reading Marathon training – 7 weeks to go and a race recap!
