I turned 37 on Sunday. It feels weird. I probabaly have a lot to say about how it makes me feel but perhaps not right now. I had a great weekend. On Saturday I went to a friend’s fabulous hen party in Bath. Saw my bro and his fiancé on Sunday at my Mum’s, and … Continue reading 37
I could have worked out on Wednesday morning, but after a late return home on Tuesday I needed sleep more. My flight to Dublin on Wednesday afternoon was at 15:50 and so I would get into my hotel at about 17:30; which meant I could either do a cross training (XT) session or interval training … Continue reading Last weeks mid-week report
The other day I drove past a funeral procession and thought to myself that it was probably one of the saddest days that family would have to endure. The same day I found myself getting irritated by someone driving slowly in front of me, and caught myself in the act. I thought to myself that … Continue reading Kindness

Today Steve and I ran our 1st half marathon of the year. It was our longest run of the year to date, and it was a brutal yet beautiful trail run around Bewl Water. After going out to see John Mayer last night I didn’t get into bed till midnight or so, and had to … Continue reading Half-Marathon

A 10 minute hill walk, 10 minute gentle run, 10 minute brutal intervals finished with a 10 minute walk. Tomorrow is the Bewl … Continue reading Professional Services

To this extent I have made some achievements, such as finally sending in the paperwork to get my parking permit and getting my new phone up and running. I’ve been carrying around the forms for blood tests and … Continue reading Another brick wall
10 miles in 1:49:28 That’s 5 minutes faster than the last 10 mile run – which means we ran each mile 30 seconds faster than last time! I’m so happy about this. The run wasn’t as hilly as last time and the weather was perfect – cool and dry. I actually, for the most part, … Continue reading 10 mile success
On Monday I did a 5Km run and a 90 minute yoga session. Tuesday was the horrendous interval training. On Thursday I did a 30minute LISS bike ride. On Saturday, I did a 90 Minute yoga class. I found yoga quite challenging yesterday; probably due to not going since Monday. Maybe I need to give … Continue reading This week and next week
I was in Bournemouth all day and drove back to London. I was booked into an 8pm yoga class but I need to do interval training this week to get my running pace up. After a brief chat with Steve I decided to cancel the yoga and head to the gym instead. I arrived home … Continue reading Intervals are hard
