...Your Pace or Mine? by Lisa Jackson. This one is a nice light, entertaining read! Lisa did not start running until she was in her thirties, and has since run many marathons and ultra marathons. This book is FULL of the joy of running, with no emphasis on going fast or being particularly competitive – she admits to regularly coming last in races, and really doesn't care, which I love! It is both her story and the story of all the wonderful and interesting people she has met through running.

I hope you are all keeping safe and enjoying your runs. I, for one, am finding it a soothing balm, keeping my anxiety down to a level that I can manage (just about!)

Happy running, happy reading, all.

You are welcome! I am doing well thanks. Though, I had a funny week a couple of weeks ago – had an epic fall whilst out running on the Monday, got myself a new job on the Friday! Swings and roundabouts, they say?! LOL! How are you?

I am very well, thanks. Working from home is actually better for staying healthy and lots of running. Congratulations on the new job! That’s fantastic news. Hope you are pleased.

It really is better! It will be hard when (if?!) we have to return to commuting and offices. 😱 Glad to hear you are doing well! I am over the moon about my new job. 😊

I've done a book post on marathon too, I knew someone had done some but couldn't find the posts until Abi reminded me! 🙈
