Things I Tried in December

It’s a bit later into January than I normally write this, but I’m still using illness and holidays as an excuse for my complete failure to start 2018 in an organised fashion. Besides, it’s not like these things are any less useful or relevant by the middle of the month so they’re still worth sharing,

#Janathon Day 11 – The I Hate Jump Squats Edition

I was going to go to the gym today. But today was the day we picked up our “new” car, and even though I can’t drive I didn’t want to miss the excitement of pressing all the buttons and jumping up and down on the seats, so I decided to skip the Gym. So, how

#Janathon Day 10 – The I Can’t be Bothered Run

The only way I was getting out for today’s run was if I just went before I had time to think about it. So that’s what I did. I walked the Pugs in my running kit, came back, switched on my watch and headed out of the door before I had time to decide I was

#Janathon Day 9 – It Feels Like Cheating

Did I cheat on Janathon today? Sort of. I knew today was going to be a pain. I hate running in the dark and today I had a train to London to catch at 8:30 am and I wouldn’t be home until after it was dark and I knew that when I got home I

#Janathon Day 8 – The Return to the Gym

Despite feeling a bit flustered with lots to do and not much time to do it in, I knew that I had to go back to the gym this week. So this morning I headed into town for the first time in 2 weeks to tackle the weights. The 2-week break wasn’t deliberate. I planned

This Week I…. (Did #Janathon Day 7)

Happy Sunday all! This is the spot where I normally tell you about all the interesting things that happened to me this week, like that time I drank some coffee or that time the weather was a bit weird. Today though there isn’t really anything to tell. I’m 7 days into Janathon, and all my

#Janathon Day 6 – The Annual Nose Bleed

The thing with Saturdays is it can be quite hard to fit any other exercise in once I’ve been to Roller Derby practice. We have off-skates training at 10:30 am, and I’m in no way dedicated enough to get up early and do Park run, and by the time I finish and get home it’s

#Janathon Day 5 – The Day After Scrim

Fridays are always a tired day because Thursday night is Scrim Night for Norfolk Roller Derby. We finish at 10 pm, and it’s an intense evening. I wasn’t even sure if me and my delicate belly should go last night, but, but we did, in an effort to ward off the dangerous pity party that

#Janathon Day 4 – Feeling Better

Well, I’m feeling a little better today. My tummy is still a little delicate, and I’m feeling VERY sorry for myself and a bit emotional, but we’re getting there. Tonight is my first night back at Roller Derby scrim, and my decision on whether it was wise to go or not was based largely on
