#Janathon Day 15 – Breathing is Over Rated Anyway

I know you’re all waiting to hear the latest in the “Gemma can’t breath” story, mostly because I know my Mum reads this and it saves me having to ring and explain it all. This afternoon I went back to the Doctor, apparently my peak flow is in the perfectly normal range, which makes me

Retro Chick Reviews : Younique Moodstruck 3D Fibre Lashes

Today I will be reviewing a rather fancy mascara. This particular fancy mascara was a Christmas present that I was actually given before Christmas, it was technically a present from my Mum, but she bought it via my sister who is a Younique rep at Kellys Make Up Box. I’d heard quite a bit about

#Janathon Day 14 – The Day I Forgot my Pants

Last night as I drifted off to sleep I wondered if today I should go swimming as today is my last day with access to a pool, or head out and run again. When I woke up this morning to a dusting of snow my decision was made for me. I decided asthmatics with chest

#Janathon Day 13 – I Can Procrastinate Better Than You

I woke up this morning and there was beautiful sunshine streaming through my curtains. “Oooh”, thought I, “I shall go for a run, but first I’ll just get this done”, and then I had a look at something else, and then I made myself a Lemsip because actually they’re really helping, not by getting rid

#Janathon Day 11 – Lifting Heavy Stuff

Sunday is a gym day with the Norfolk Brawds fitness partners Style Health & Fitness and it’s the day we focus on strength and I LOVE it. I woke up feeling mysteriously perky this morning considering I drank quite a bit of beer last night, but also oh so very, very achey and sore from

#Janathon Day 10 – Back on Skates

HURRAH! Today I finally got back on my skates after a whole 3 weeks off over Christmas, and wonder of wonders I haven’t forgotten how to skate! We actually started with the Roller Derby Athletics Fitness test as we hadn’t done it since about August and apparently it’s good for us to have a baseline

#Janathon Day 9 – On the Road Again

After last nights accidental trip to the pub I came home and polished off the last of the Christmas Baileys. If I’m going to fall of a wagon I like to do it properly. Still, I woke up this morning and went out first thing to do another short run before I had chance to
