This is my contribution to the series being run by the Climate Change Collective. The Climate Change Collective was born out of an exchange between Michelle over at Boomer Eco Crusader and Jamie Ad Stories.

But even that was on the back of a rather disappointing 2022 of running (especially in comparison with 2021). However, as I try to… Continue reading 7 things I miss about running

Before I go further, I want to be absolutely clear that I'm not a medical professional and our experiences shouldn't guide you in responding… Continue reading Coping with migraines in children
