Ok so I have failed to blog everyday, but you’ll be pleased to hear I haven’t totally failed my 66 day challenge. Just need to do a quick update. On 24th April I travelled to France for a work trip that is basically 3 full days work with 2 full evenings of entertaining. This involves … Continue reading Day 4/66
I did 2 rounds of sun salutations this morning which set me up nicely for the busy day I had doing various admin and appointments before heading to France for the rest of the week. My flight was postponed by 3 hours which I knew about in advance but then was delayed another 30 minutes … Continue reading Day 3/66
Yesterday I forgot to update you on my 66 day challenge. I had a good day. At the gym I did a leg and glute workout followed by 30 minutes of hill walking on the treadmill. My motivation to get to the gym, having worn my gym kit all day, was that I was feeling … Continue reading Day 2/66
I’m doing a project to try change my mindset. Everyday for 66 days I will do some sun salutations and either a run, a yoga class or mediation to get into the habit of doing something physical or self caring everyday. Apparently it takes 66 days to form a habit. So today, day 1, I … Continue reading Day 1/66
I’ve really been winning at life recently, regularly running and practicing yoga consistently. I’m generally being an all round overachiever; a motivated superhero if you will. Do you think that could work as a mantra? Because the reality is that I have been the complete opposite. My mind-set NEEDS to change…. something has to change. It’s mid-April and … Continue reading Spring forwards
In an attempt to get myself running more I booked in a half-marathon which was on Saturday just gone. It was a good plan on paper, but it didn’t lead to any incentive to run. This year has been quite the struggle. I had plenty of intention to go to the race, and the day … Continue reading Back in the game
A few thoughts from me on International Women’s Day…… 1. I’m pleased to see fewer men on my timeline this year demanding to know when International Men’s Day is. I hope that this means that people are learning that momentarily drawing attention to one faction of society in particular, does not take anything away from … Continue reading International Women’s Day
Last Sunday, while the vegetables were roasting, I went and ran 8.05Km from home out over the Thames and back. I ran at 6.25 minutes/Km which is an alright pace for me. That’s 51:36 for the distance. I achieved my 3 yoga and 3 run plan for the week which I am really happy about. This week just … Continue reading I am here
I am not going to dwell on how shit my exercise has been so far this year and that last week, despite rigorous planning, I only managed a 15 minute home practice and a 60 minute hot Pilates class (which was brutal by the way). But, as they say… there is no point looking backwards when you … Continue reading Progress……at last. 2018 starts here!
All I could have hoped for in 2018 was to learn from last year. That I would recognise my failings when it came to my training, and address the procrastination and lack of consistency that held me back in 2017. This has not happened. In fact I think it’s got worse. In my last blog … Continue reading Underachieving 101
