Well this January has been quite the opposite of last years. Last year I was doing a 30 day hot yoga challenge and Run Everyday January; this year I have just been sick. I am only just over whatever monstrous virus I have had, I’ve not run since Christmas day and my last yoga class … Continue reading Seriously slow start
I began to feel unwell on Christmas Eve night, ran the terrible 5Km on Christmas Day and then have basically been near enough bed bound since getting into bed on the evening of 25th. I was technically working between Christmas and New Year, but thankfully working from home and with just a few administrative items … Continue reading 1 year complete and a Happy New Year to focus on
On Saturday morning Steve and I met up to run our last race together this year, an 8mile virtual race round London’s Hyde Park and Battersea Park. The last time I ran was the snowy 10Km on 10th December so I was really anxious about approaching 8miles (12.88Km) with no decent prep, yet again. The … Continue reading 8 miles, Christmas holidays and a little reflection
After crashing my car I had some minor aches and pains and so I essentially stopped all my exercise for the best part of the week. On reflection it wasn’t really necessary, but once I stop I find it really hard to get going again. All my best intentions for a healthy and fit December … Continue reading Snow and Setbacks
I’ve not loved November. I feel like I lost my way a bit with my exercise project. I’ve had an on-going issue with severe pain in my feet for months, which has been much worse over the last several weeks and has caused me to cut my running right down. When I last blogged I was … Continue reading So long November
The last few months of this year are rapidly passing by and my exercise & blogging have unintentionally been on the back burner. At the start of November I was in Ireland for a week. I attended 2 flow classes and on 1st November I made it to a 90 minute Bikram class in Galway … Continue reading 150 etc.
Soooooooo, it’s been a while. Let’s catch up…… After the half marathon I had my trip to Sheffield and those two amazing yoga classes, but running seemed to fall out of favour somewhat. I practiced yoga at home on the 28th; the morning of my friends mum’s funeral. There were many beautiful moments over the … Continue reading Long time, no blog….
I arranged my work travel to Sheffield in the early afternoon on Tuesday so I could work on the train and not waste hours of my evening travelling. Having searched online to see if I would be able to go to a hot yoga class in Sheffield so that I could continue working towards my … Continue reading Zen
After my Eureka moment a week ago I have had a lot to think about and mentally process. I am trying to be more aware of how I perceive myself and am consciously making my internal monologue more positive. It’s not always easy but I feel as if I am making progress; just being more … Continue reading Rest days, a half marathon and changes to be made
In January, when I was participating in the Run Every Day challenge for @mindcharity I found myself in this hotel gym with a ghastly oblique side-view mirror-treadmill combo. The repulsion I felt towards myself as I saw myself jiggling away, red and sweaty made me feel so much self-loathing. I utterly hated my body. I … Continue reading EUREKA
