It’s been a while since I blogged and I am not really sure I remember everything that’s happened, but here goes…. I took a rest day on 1st September because this would have been my sisters 39th birthday. Lucie, my sister, died 17 years ago and every year since I am aware of certain dates … Continue reading Sadness in September
On Tuesday I went for a run in the evening. On my schedule I was due to do a tempo run, where I would have to pace each section of the route; something I am not that good at on the road. Yet I didn’t really want to go to the gym as it was … Continue reading The end of the month
Today was super hot weather …. I am really so ready for Autumn. I don’t enjoy the heat unless I am by a pool or the sea and it’s just been so stifling today!! I woke up in a sweaty mess this morning and after visiting my friends cat to feed him while she is … Continue reading Bank Holiday Monday
I didn’t go to yoga on Wednesday evening after my journey to Ireland as I was tired and wanted a relaxing evening at home. On Thursday morning I got up and did 4 rounds of sun salutations before heading out for a run. On my training schedule I was aiming for a 45 minute easy … Continue reading Recent activity
I went to the gym and ran my intervals and I really enjoyed it – again! Maybe this is my ‘thing’! I did a 5 minute walk at 5 min walk at 5.5Km/h, then ran for 5 min at 9.2, and another 5 minutes at 9.5. The interval section was 7 x 1 min run … Continue reading I think I’ve found my thing

In yoga they say that it is the posture you dislike the most or completely avoid, that is the one you need the most. If I was … Continue reading Highs and Lows
I was due to run 7 miles on Wednesday (11.3Km), and I was also going to go to hot flow yoga. I felt shattered when I woke up, maybe the last few days of activity was taking its toll. My legs were tired and I just felt exhausted all day. On the plus side I … Continue reading 7 of 11.3
At yesterday’s yoga class I saw one of my friends and we decided to go to yoga together this morning too. It was a challenging 90 minute class and another reminder of how I need to do more exercise in the mornings so that I don’t feel like such a lump of concrete. I text … Continue reading Tuesday
Steve and I ran a 10Km race the Saturday before last and managed to get a PB for the distance for this year. 1 hour and 57 seconds. It felt great that we got a PB but it was hard. I was running faster than I would have comfortably gone, but that is kind of … Continue reading PBs and Exams
