I have songs on my playlist for different reasons. Slow ones to ease into the beginning of a race, hopefully encouraging me not to set out too fast in those deceptive, early kilometres. Some are so seriously inspirational that they really do make me run a wee bit faster. Well, …
No. I haven’t yet started line-dancing to this smashing song, like so many on Instagram. Yes. I have put this song on my running playlist, and on my grandly-style “race playlist” (says the woman who cancelled her 2 big races this winter… :P ) and also on my workout playlist. …
Where does one start? Tina Turner, a global, adored icon is gone, and we are all, collectively, diminished by her death. This amazing woman was a force of life, a fabulous singer and a woman who inspired millions of people. Her beyond iconic song “Simply the best” has been on …
