I am a sewster that runs.  Or tries to.  I have charted epiphanies in the battle against my motivation along the way & they can be found here:

• These crazy legs got serious
• Seaside Christmas Cracker
• Being a running tourist
• Coach yourself
• Crazy Stupid Running and Me
• My Crazy Legs

I’ve sewn some of my own gear.  As I post about them I’ll share the links here:

• A raglan sleeved dayglo running top
• A Kimono sleeved running top
• Tutorial for making your own running bows

Races I’ve entered – why not make yourself known if you’re also doing them!?

• Bath Skyline Series (completed)
• Weston Christmas Cracker (completed)
• Longleat 10k (completed)
• Wiltshire 10 mile (completed)
• Bath Half Marathon (completed)
