"It was amazing to be running alongside a diverse but like minded group of people, with none of the issues that can come from running on the roads."
@Isabel_M_Mohan shares how parkrun built back in her confidence when running, at @MetroUK 👇 parkrun.me/7y5aw
Just remembered there's a social network over here that you can post stuff on for nobody to see!
Here's my London Marathon, mile by mile. On balance I think I'm better at writing about it than I was at running it.

So bored of trying to cancel my @DavidLloydUK membership. Our mortgage going up by £700 a month (!) doesn't count as a big enough change in financial circs - it has to DOUBLE! Is this even legal?
Now @DavidLloydUK have asked for a letter from a freelance client on headed paper confirming change in contract as an email won't do?! Not easy to ask for stuff like this when self-employed! JUST SET ME FREEEEE IT'S STRESSFUL!

Great article by @Isabel_M_Mohan in the @Independent today.independent.co.uk/health_and…
"The truth is, nobody is born obese, but small differences in lifestyle, upbringing and mental health can easily turn that bouncing baby into an overweight adult"
"Yes, those patronising words “just eat less and move more!” are technically true – but unfortunately that advice is incredibly hard to implement in the face of so much shame"

I am completely rubbish at remembering to plug my newsletter on here, but I want to celebrate/brag about hitting 500 followers this week - and then rapidly 550 thanks to some hugely appreciated love from @NotRollergirl!

Great read from @Isabel_M_Mohan. I didn’t work on Heat until much, much later - but I spent the noughties building endless galleries of celebrity sweat patches and cankles elsewhere. And wonder how much has gone into my subconscious self-esteem.

Pride + nostalgia + shame = what it was like to work on heat magazine as a shy overweight 20-something during the height of celeb body-shaming culture. A meaty little (long) read from me... keepitupfatty.substack.com/p…
I learned from the comments that I could get both laid and lynched in Middle England.

If only there was an injection to stop us being so judgemental: Wegovy jabs, food-free diets and running really, really far - the extreme measures we take to combat fat-phobia...

If PE makes a good chunk of people feel so inadequate, self-conscious and humiliated that they might never exercise again, then this is a failure of the system rather than a personal one. keepitupfatty.substack.com/p…
Idiotic man shouts mean thing to running woman. Three years later, running woman reclaims mean thing and starts a newsletter about it. Sign up!
Know anyone who might like to be the new Editor of Rock My Wedding? (Yes, "I do" is the correct answer).
It's part of The Cambium Group who I freelance for and they are very nice.

My dad’s reaction when I told him me and @TheNickyHawkins were going to see @csittenfeld tonight. And I absolutely loved daintily sipping my free wine in the Waterstones moshpit and getting my book, rather than my boobs, signed afterwards.
Today is a day when I feel the need to wade back into Twitter. I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS (about the misleading childcare headlines and that brat in Florence). But it's awful so I won't.
