What would you miss in your life if you couldn’t do it anymore? When someone asks me that question the first thing I always think of is roller derby. But, it wasn’t until I found my inner Zen that I was able to enjoy my favourite hobby confidently and without crumbling. There are hundreds of

Things I Tried in January

Well, here we are, finally February. Janathon is over, but I still went for a run today, so yay me. Mostly January has been about me struggling to balance my blogging work with my actual life, and the extra client work I have. I’ll be honest, I’m struggling to find my balance already this year,

#Janathon Day 31 – The End (WHEEEEE!)

Ok guys, if you ever see me make a stupid suggestion like “Hey, lets try and earn 500 fitness points on my TomTom watch every day” in the future. Tell me to stop. I picked that as my goal because TomTom counts 500 points as “improving” and that’s what I wanted, to improve my cardio

#Janathon Day 28 – The Hangover Run

There has to be at least one of these every Janathon, and this was it. Feeling very slightly groggy from a few too many glasses of wine on a Saturday night I was really dreading pounding the pavements today, even it was only for a mile and a half. Mr LLL also wanted to come

#Janathon Day 27 – The day it took 3 hours

Ok, so it’s definitely getting harder to earn those points. Today I wore my watch to Roller Derby practice and apparently it took me nearly a W hole 3 hours to earn those 500 points. I think today’s session suffered from the same issues as weightlifting. Working on jam starts means short sessions of high
