23rd Feb – 1st March | 2026
On Sunday 24th May I will be running the Edinburgh Half Marathon in aid of BEAT Eating Disorders UK. Not as a way to punish my body, but as a way to give back to an incredible charity, and to celebrate what my body can do. Any donations are greatly appreciated and will go directly to BEAT through my JustGiving link.
I was supposed to be running the Edinburgh Half Marathon in a few weeks. Instead, I’m dealing with a meniscus tear, months of ignored pain, and the emotional reality of stepping back from something I worked so hard for. This is about injuries, setbacks, recovery, and learning when to finally stop pushing through.
I never expected to find myself playing in a men’s hockey team—but here I am. This post shares what that’s actually like, from the rule changes that made it possible to the reality of stepping into a completely new environment, navigating confidence, pressure, and everything that comes with it.
From hating hockey at 8 to playing five times a week, losing it to an eating disorder, and finding my way back years later—this is my full hockey journey. How it shaped me, challenged me, and why I’ve finally started sharing this side of my life online after one unexpected viral moment.
I’ve rebranded my blog from Pepetoe to elenaoverfield.com, and it feels like stepping into something more honest, more personal, and more aligned. This post is a little re-introduction: why I made the change, what it means, and what you can expect from this next chapter of my content and growth.
Elena Overfield, author and creator behind what was once Pepetoe, is passionate about sharing tips and tricks on how to become your best self.
