After the 10Km, Steve and I went for lunch. Sunday lunches can be a bit of a challenge for me with most of the pubs serving roasts as I have to eat a gluten free diet and I have recently turned vegan so the menu choices can be tricky. But, we really wanted to be … Continue reading Winning Day 8
The weather was perfect for the Richmond Park 10Km. Cold, a little drizzle, but clear and not completely horrible. The race began at 10am and the first 3Km were pretty undulating. It takes a little while for my lungs to warm up as an asthmatic, so I found the first 3 Km a bit of … Continue reading My first medal of 2017
Today is race day. I’m doing a 10Km run in Richmond Park, a beautiful location – but a bit hilly if I recall. I have been woken up before my alarm clock, thanks to the morning hunger pangs of the little ginger fluff-ball. Eaten the breakfast of champions; a bowl of gluten free porridge with blueberries and … Continue reading 1st Race Day of 2017
Woo-hoo day 7. A whole week of exercising every day for my happiness, for my mind and body. What a great start to the year. I’ve been focussing on the running and the yoga as these are the key challenges I want to accomplish this month, but I am also aware that these alone are not … Continue reading Day 7 – one week complete
Yesterday was a long day. I woke in Torbay and immediately got up, changed and went out for a 2Km run. I mentioned before that I am not a morning person, but I actually did it. I got up and ran in the morning, before work. Who even knew this was possible?! I suppose that not being … Continue reading Day 6
I made it to yoga this morning. It was good, and then bad. I had done everything right regarding eating and hydrating before class, and the standing series was pretty good. As we got towards the floor series I began to get a headache. I was practicing under the glass atrium and the brightness gave … Continue reading Day 5 – ups and downs
Tomorrow I need to be in Devon for work at 8am. This is a 4 hour drive from my house and as such I will need to stay there tonight. There is a lot I have to do before I go, and I have realised this morning that this sort of travelling gives me quite a … Continue reading Travel
A bad nights sleep does not make for a good day. I was in the fortunate position to be working from home this morning and so I was able to get on with some admin and minimise human interaction which helped! I planned to use my lunch break to do a 60 min hot yoga, and despite my … Continue reading Brutal Day 4
Just a little post to express just how vile it is to not be able to sleep. Over the last month I have gone from taking the sedatives that caused way too much sleep, to getting back to my old insomniac ways. The doctor gave me a short term Zopiclone prescription to help with the … Continue reading Sleep or no sleep more to the point
I have just realised that some of you may only be tuning back in to hear about the pom poms, so I had better mention them before I head off to bed. Sorry to keep you in suspense! I bought 2 really nice cushions for our sofa a while back. They are exquisite bright colours and I … Continue reading Pom Poms
