Today, Saturday, is day 14 of my running challenge and the 13th day of my hot yoga challenge. I am out the country for work at the end of the month and as such I need to time my hot yoga challenge so that my last class is on 29th Jan. This means that I … Continue reading Double Day
Initially I booked annual leave for Friday 13th as I was due to get my tattoo finished. I had to postpone as it’s advised that you take a few days off Bikram yoga after getting a tattoo to prevent the risk of infection. Rather than cancelling my day off I decided to take it anyway … Continue reading Annual Leave, Sleeping Marathon
Snow? In London? You’re having a bubble! (as said in my best cockney accent. Bubble bath- giraffe- laugh!) So yeah, snow. Chilly. Today was a light exercise day with the 1.25 run to yoga which required wrapping up warm, then a 60min class. My intention when I started this blog was to write everyday and … Continue reading Snow way
Yesterday marked the 1/3 point of both my 30-day hot yoga and the Run Every Day in January for Mind challenges. My day began with a 05:30 start with a busy working morning. I had visions of getting home around lunchtime and making it out for a run before hitting the yoga studio later in … Continue reading 1/3 Complete
I had a really busy working day yesterday and needed to plan my day carefully to get pieces of work done by their deadlines. This postponed running and yoga to the evening and I could only allocate about 90 minutes to both in total. The plan was to run to yoga as a warm up. … Continue reading 10 is Zen
After the 10Km, Steve and I went for lunch. Sunday lunches can be a bit of a challenge for me with most of the pubs serving roasts as I have to eat a gluten free diet and I have recently turned vegan so the menu choices can be tricky. But, we really wanted to be … Continue reading Winning Day 8
The weather was perfect for the Richmond Park 10Km. Cold, a little drizzle, but clear and not completely horrible. The race began at 10am and the first 3Km were pretty undulating. It takes a little while for my lungs to warm up as an asthmatic, so I found the first 3 Km a bit of … Continue reading My first medal of 2017
Today is race day. I’m doing a 10Km run in Richmond Park, a beautiful location – but a bit hilly if I recall. I have been woken up before my alarm clock, thanks to the morning hunger pangs of the little ginger fluff-ball. Eaten the breakfast of champions; a bowl of gluten free porridge with blueberries and … Continue reading 1st Race Day of 2017
Woo-hoo day 7. A whole week of exercising every day for my happiness, for my mind and body. What a great start to the year. I’ve been focussing on the running and the yoga as these are the key challenges I want to accomplish this month, but I am also aware that these alone are not … Continue reading Day 7 – one week complete
Yesterday was a long day. I woke in Torbay and immediately got up, changed and went out for a 2Km run. I mentioned before that I am not a morning person, but I actually did it. I got up and ran in the morning, before work. Who even knew this was possible?! I suppose that not being … Continue reading Day 6
