#MedalMonday from a whirlwind weekend at the Mezza Maratona d’Italia 🇮🇹
Left the UK Friday after work, landed in Italy, and by Sunday night I was back home with another half marathon in the legs. I am so rock-n-roll.
Traveled with two amazing friends from my run club @ohladiesrc and we were able to have everything work out, from bib pickup on Saturday, then straight to the Ferrari Museum before lunch and an afternoon nap.
Race day started early on Sunday (complete with the clocks changing). The first bit of the race was on the Ferrari test track (!!) and wound through their campus — it was unreal. I’ll admit… I stopped more than a few times for photos 📸 🏎️
The course itself was super chill — mostly main roads, not many crowds, and the towns were eerily quiet (still not sure if that was the race or just a sleepy Sunday morning way of life).
I felt strong hitting 18km when I spotted the 2:30 pacers — kicked it up a notch and brought it home in 2:26 💪 Only 30 seconds slower than the Cambridge Half earlier this month!
That final kilometer through the streets of Modena though… brick and stone underfoot had my body FEELING it.
Overall, I am really happy with my result and have ticked another country off of my goal to run in every country. Feeling consistent, strong, and like that this is my base level now.
Next up… Race to the Stones training begins 🏃♀️⛰️

If you want to actually succeed on a medicated weight loss journey, it’s not just about the medication — it’s about how you support your body alongside it 💚
Since starting last April, I’m 10+ kg and 57 cm down, and these are the things I’ve focused on consistently (aside from fermented food. My palette prefers sweet):
🫘 Protein – to protect muscle and stay strong
🌾 Fibre – for gut health, fullness & digestion
🦠 Ferments – to support your microbiome
🫒 Healthy fats – for satisfaction & nutrient absorption
💧 Water – makes a bigger difference than you think
🏋️ Lifting weights – to lose fat, not muscle
It doesn’t have to be perfect — just consistent. I started off slowly with one more glass of water, one more 20 min weights session and added on from there
If you’re curious about medicated weight loss with Juniper and want to start with support (and a discount), DM me and I’ll send you my discount code. I am always happy to share what’s worked for me and answer any questions you may have.

Another weekend, another flight abroad. This weekend, we visited James` family in Luxembourg. They live in the suburbs with a 2 year old and 6 month old. We played, read books, visited a dinosaur park in Germany (as you do) and went to a farm exhibition in the city centre (complete with farm animals and big tractors). Plus I managed two 6km runs. All in all a good weekend.
After @mezzamaratonaditalia next weekend, my training continues for Race To The Stones. 100km over 2 days in July.
Congratulations to everyone who raced this weekend. Show me your medals!

First run since Cambridge Half. Felt good but my friend, Sylvie, is super fast! She and I (plus another mate) are running @mezzamaratonaditalia next weekend so we will keep moving until we get to the start line.
My plan is a 10k on Saturday and then spin classes next week. I`m feeling pretty good with my recent experience at Cambridge half so let`s hope for a similar performance in Italy.

POV: your dog becomes your art muse 🐶🎨
Meet Maple — my 6-year-old deaf rescue who specializes in cuddles and begging for treats at Slumbering Hound. @slumberinghound
For my birthday, my mom gifted me a lino print class there with Dee (the amazingly talented owner — and former puppeteer!). She provides all the materials so you can just show up and create.
Week 1: draw the design + start carving
Week 2: printing!
I struggled a bit getting the ink right, but once I used the pressure tool… voilà!
Honestly the best part was how calming it was. Research shows just 45 minutes of making art can lower cortisol (the stress hormone) in about 75% of people. Creativity = therapy.
I had so much fun I signed up for the pencil drawing class next… which confirmed I need a bit more practice with freehand 😅
So tell me the truth… do these look like Maple? 🐾
If you’re in Hertfordshire, support an amazing female-owned small business and book yourself into one of Dee’s art workshops at Slumbering Hound. Your brain deserves a creative break.

Yesterday, I ran the @cambridgehalfuk which was 13.1 miles (or 21.1 km) in and around Cambridge. We got to run through some of the colleges and near impressive buildings too. With 15,000 runners joining me, it was a massive event.
Originally, I thought this was my first race since the Tokyo Marathon in 2024. I actually ran a 10km in Budapest in October 2024 so this is my first one since then.
Big thanks to @ohladiesrc for keeping me motivated during this training block. My next half is in 3 weeks @mezzamaratonaditalia , helping me tick Italy off of my country list.
Well done to everyone who raced over the weekend. Let me know below which race you did.

My next ski trip is only 2 weeks away and I am starting to pack to make sure everything fits in the limited luggage I have booked.
On my previous ski trip to @pilaaostavalley I was able to test out the new @ospreyeurope Mountain Bound ski boot bag. It is a significant upgrade from my old boot bag that was only 35L and fell apart after one trip. 35L wasn`t enough to hold my ski boots, helmet, headphones and a book. The headphones and a book are essential for flights so when I was researching a replacement, the 45 L Mountain Bound ski boot bag stood out.
What else to I love about the Mountain Bound?
🔵 durable, highly water-resistant NanoTough™ fabric
🔵 Padded carry handles and a padded main compartment
🔵 AirScape™ technology keeps your back from getting too sweaty
🔵 There`s a added shoe changing mat for taking your ski boots on or off at the car
🔵 Top and side access plus to top compartment can be kept separate for organization or opened up for a big more room
🔵 Is the right size for British Always carry on bag
🔵 Everything I want in my carry on fits in it! Although it took a few attempts to get my helmet in there
🔵 Chest and hip straps make it much easier to carry. It got a bit heavy for me because I could fit more things in it 🤣
My one wish is that it came in a variety of colors. Hopefully the range will continue and we will see options with the 2.0 version.
Big thanks to @ospreypacks and @springproutdoor for the #gifted item. All opinions are honest and my own.
Do you check your ski boot bag or bring it on the plane with you?

Saturday was a 5+5 run. 5km at Highbury Fields parkrun followed by a run to celebrate @besmartgetfit running around (literally) Barbados. 🇧🇧
I was so inspired by Ray taking on this challenge running 100km to celebrate his heritage while also fundraising for @cr_uk It was a lot of fun watching his daily progress and seeing the beautiful scenery. I need to get there asap (and run a race while I am there, of course). 🏅
Saturday`s celebration run started at the @bhclondon and ended at a new Bahan restaurant in Shoreditch, @eatbarbs. I made a few new friends and enjoyed the spiced rum cake provided by @blackcouplesdorun . The cake was washed down with rum punch, of course. 🍹
Thank you, Ray, for inviting me along! It was great to see you and learn more about Barbados. 🎉
