#Juneathon Day 11 – Guess What I Did?!

That’s right, YOGA! Ha! How did you guess? I did 20 minutes recovery Yoga, and plan to do another 20 minutes of my regular pre practice session later on today. I am still stiff with an achey lower back, but tonight I will be skating anyway, but being aware of how I feel and I

#Juneathon Day 10 – Finally Moving

One year I will do Juneathon and it won’t consist of me spending most of it explaining how I’ve done something that nearly consitutes exercise because I’ve damaged some random part of myself. In fact, it is now the 2 year anniversary of the day I had to bow out of doing my first Juneathon

7 Ways Coconut Oil Can Make You Beautiful

In today’s spot I was hoping to post a lovely outfit post. I have some new things I’m just dying to wear, but unfortunately I have done something to my back and me standing like a little old lady do not beautiful outfit posts make. Last Friday I was bending down to get wax strips

#Janathon Day 9 – Codeine, Bruises and Yoga

Well hello! This morning my back is covered in some rather fetching bruises from my sports massage that look no where near as dramatic in photos as they do in real life, so that’s disappointing. I am, however a little more mobile and could get out of bed without making enough noise to wake the

#Juneathon Day 8 – My First Sports Massage.

So, today I booked in with a Sports Therapist as recommended by one of my team mates, and went for my first ever sports massage. It was a lot less relaxing than the one I had at Neals Yard once. He suggested my back pain was caused primarily by my quadratus lumborum, if I remember

Well, yesterday, despite my stiff back was amazing. I watched from the benches as my team the Norfolk Brawds fought their way back from 40 points down with determination and grace to win the first game of their British Champs season by just 6 points scored in the last jam of the game by Political

#Juneathon Day 6 – The Curse of Juneathon

Sooo, Juneathon is obviously cursed. In 2013 I made it 10 days in before I hurt myself, this year I have managed 5. Still, despite the fact I need help getting from a lying down to standing position I persevered with some yoga in the hope it would loosen up my lower back. It didn’t.

#Juneathon Day 5 – The Day I Got Stuck on the Floor in Boots

Last night at practice our A Team were practicing for their first British Championships game of the season (which is tomorrow, come along!) so they needed a “team” to play against in training, which was made up of unrostered A team skaters, those of us on the training squad and some boys from our brother

The Perils of Late Night Shopping

My favourite hobby used to be sitting with my phone on eBay late at night, searching “vintage dress”. I would bid on anything that was ending soon and still on 99p (it’s a great hobby, give it a go!). A few days later I’d come home to a flurry of missed parcel cards and drag
