I've no idea where these PBs keep coming from but I'll happily take them! 79.23 (17th assuming they remove the 59 year old who set a women's world record by a minute....) and 30 second #PB at San Francisco #halfmarathon 😁👐👐 @sfgiants Good course, aside from two lethal hills and a few km on gravel! Bring on Lyon in a month's time!

A slightly unusual pre-race goodiebag 'treasure'.... 🤔🤡 #sanfrancisco #giantrace @sfgiants

August: 4 months, 4 PBs!! 👐👐😊 Where the hell did that come from?! Pearls of wisdom (or not...) on my website: https://80runs.co.uk/2018/09/04/august-review-4-weeks-4-pbs/ 🏅🏅🏅 Link in profile!

Some people say I've changed since I was 18. I just don't see it. 💂‍♀️ 😂 The joys of packing and rediscovering your past... #18yearsold #moptop #hair #hairstyles #throwbacktuesday #imagoodsport

#dontleavemebehind 😂😂 😿😿 packing begins. #catinabox #catsofinstagram

5k #pb in 16.43 at Wimbledon 5k festival! 😁👐👐 definitely fastest track around South London! Only second time ever I get under 17. Last time was 3 years ago at...Wimbledon!

Looking surprisingly happy after 2,950m! 😁😃 #runninghappy (He beat me by 0.05sec.....😣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️)

Was about time for another #PB! It's been a while coming! 9.34, 10 second PB @3000m 😁😁

Namibia! What an amazing country to visit (and run in, obvs)! Latest write-up now live on website: surviving sandstorms (excellent way to exfoliate your teeth), lions, rhinos and WINNING a parkrun! 😁🦏🐯🦁🐗🐒🦄🦅🐘 Link in profile: ☺ https://80runs.co.uk/2018/07/29/run-55-swakopmund-parkrun-and-not-being-munched-by-a-lion-namibia-7-july-2018/

#couplegoals 👐👐 Sunny and windy 🌬🌬 Swakopmund (Namibia) #parkrun (excellent sandy conditions to exfoliate your teeth 😁) @messepip

Colour coordination is a gift I was born with. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ (though, on the plus side, it does help not be mistaken for anything edible...) #fashion #fashionistas #fail

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️😥 A month later, here's the (slightly long) write-up from @jtiramani and my adventure running 100+km along Hadrian's Wall from west to east of UK! • one of us dropped out injured. Who was it? 🤕🤒 • my resting heartbeat was twice the normal for a few days after. ☠☠ • one of us suffered from anal torture. What was it? Is this total click-bait? 💩💩 • we kept almost running out of water... did we make it? 🍼🍼 • and blabla 🌍🌎🌏 Link in profile! But full link here: https://80runs.co.uk/2018/06/23/run-54-a-roman-centurion-of-kilometres-hadrians-wall-uk-12-13-may-2018/

2 hours of very satisfying garden blitzing in Edinburgh later (after 4 years with no one touching it). 😎✂️🌲🌲Best viewed in very VERY low resolution.... #beforeandafter #gardening #booyah #mybackhurts

8 years later to the day... and #tbt to my first marathon (5h09). A few kilos lighter and almost halved my marathon time since then 😂🏃‍♂️(and seen a lot of the world, got married, etc etc and all those pesky other non-running things that happen around training sessions and races 😂) #throwbacktuesday My colour coordination remains 👌 (which everyone who knows me will know is blatantly not true...)

Day 1 (65km) of Hadrian's Wall path from Carlisle castle to Newcastle castle (~105km) ✔✔ Lessons learned: • it's Hilly. As. F*ck. I can see why you'd build a wall in some places but nature did just fine to keep anyone out in other places...⛰ 😥 • body tentatively seems... fine. Though tbc what it'll be like in morning. But so far a good lesson that I can cope over 42km (at a casual pace) 💪did last 3km at 4min/km pace too 😂 • honesty boxes along course are such s lovely idea and a life saver to refuel as not too many grocery stores around... 🍫 • cowdung-fly swarms are a pain. Flies don't taste too nice either 🐝🤢 • it can be surprisingly hot in Northumberland when the sun's out...☀️🔥☀️
