I love water. I carry round a CamelBak Chute 1 litre water bottle so that I can keep suitably hydrated all day. Usually I drink about 3-4 litres a day and I keep my electrolytes up with additional coconut water and with adding pink Himalayan salts to all my meals pretty much. I’m fairly obsessed with … Continue reading Hydration
This week has been hectic. It transpires that the running and yoga challenges are all well and good when you are working from home, near the yoga studio, but as soon as travel is involved it becomes SO MUCH HARDER! On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I had to be at my work head office and normally … Continue reading 16-17-18 Oh My!
I went to a 90 minute yoga class tonight but definitely hadn’t eaten enough after my run as I just didn’t have enough energy. I told myself I just had to get through it, and I did. Part of this challenge is about having no expectations, just accepting what my body will allow me to … Continue reading Day 15 finished
On the half marathon training plan for today was a 60 minute run. But the rain was relentless all morning! I’ve noticed this last week how much I avoid getting on with whatever exercise I have planned, pushing it back hour after hour. Sometimes into the late evening. Last night I went to bed with … Continue reading Halfway
I weighed myself this morning, halfway into my January challenge. This year to date I have completed 17.5 hours of hot yoga and run just shy of 50Km in total. I eat an entirely plant-based diet and drink 3-4l of water per day and have had a grand total of one glass of wine. Over … Continue reading Step away from the scales
Today, Saturday, is day 14 of my running challenge and the 13th day of my hot yoga challenge. I am out the country for work at the end of the month and as such I need to time my hot yoga challenge so that my last class is on 29th Jan. This means that I … Continue reading Double Day
Initially I booked annual leave for Friday 13th as I was due to get my tattoo finished. I had to postpone as it’s advised that you take a few days off Bikram yoga after getting a tattoo to prevent the risk of infection. Rather than cancelling my day off I decided to take it anyway … Continue reading Annual Leave, Sleeping Marathon
Snow? In London? You’re having a bubble! (as said in my best cockney accent. Bubble bath- giraffe- laugh!) So yeah, snow. Chilly. Today was a light exercise day with the 1.25 run to yoga which required wrapping up warm, then a 60min class. My intention when I started this blog was to write everyday and … Continue reading Snow way
Yesterday marked the 1/3 point of both my 30-day hot yoga and the Run Every Day in January for Mind challenges. My day began with a 05:30 start with a busy working morning. I had visions of getting home around lunchtime and making it out for a run before hitting the yoga studio later in … Continue reading 1/3 Complete
I had a really busy working day yesterday and needed to plan my day carefully to get pieces of work done by their deadlines. This postponed running and yoga to the evening and I could only allocate about 90 minutes to both in total. The plan was to run to yoga as a warm up. … Continue reading 10 is Zen
