At some point I’ll tell you all about my trip to Montenegro which was fab. But first I just want to say what a terrific day it has been today. I didn’t feel so well yesterday so I didn’t exercise at all, but today I forced myself to go for a run first thing. As … Continue reading Terrific Tuesday
So I have been taking some rest days, lots of them. On the Monday after the 10km race I did a 30 minute bike session in the gym. I really like doing a bike session the morning after a race as it loosens up my muscles and works out any residual soreness. I took Tuesday … Continue reading Rest days +++
On Sunday 4th June I did my longest solo run this year. 8 miles in 1:27:07. There was some walking in places but I was pleased just to get through it as I really struggle to go out on my long runs.

This week I’ve had some fun nights out. My happy life project is so much more than just exercising, and so I booked for me and Giles to see Kitty, Daisy and Lewis on Tuesday night which was superb. We first saw them play at Bestival about 5 years ago and it was great to … Continue reading The weekend

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
