So were into 2020 and I just wanted to reflect on 2019.
My Blogs
Since I started to write a blog I have received positive feedback from may people who have read them.
Over time I have also been asked to write for a few well known websites and blog sites.
In 2019 Run Ireland (www.RunIreland.com) asked me to write a few featured blogs about my training for the Dublin city Marathon in 2018, this was featured on their website in March 2019 and sent to all subscribers in their ezeen. I was delighted to be asked as they have a huge following and this allows their readers see and understand my message.
I was also asked to write a piece for Sundried (www.sundried.com) on how I train for my triathlons and my marathon. Below you will find links for all my blogs.
I was also featured on "what a pain" blog site, this is a up and coming site for people who suffer from autoimmune diseases and gets a lot of traffic through it, so it was a great honor to be featured here.
Please feel free to give them a read, if you click on the headings below you will access each blog.
