This Week I…..

Good morning! How are we all today? I’m writing this mornings post on my phone from a hotel bed next to 2 very sleepy pugs with a slightly groggy head after over doing the wine and under doing the water in my post game hydration yesterday. But more on that later on! The rest of

This Week I…….

Hi there Sunday folks, how are you? I’ve been a little (ok, completely) quiet this week, but that’s not to say I’ve not been busy working on the blog. This year I promised myself I would not put pressure on myself to get content out when things were overwhelmingly busy. I didn’t however, plan to

This Week (and a bit) I…..

Afternoon folks! The eagle-eyed who actually care among you will notice that there was no this week I last Sunday. This wasn’t because absolutely nothing happened in the previous week, it was actually because I was extremely distracted by spending the entire day watching the live feed of the Roller Derby World Cup. So I apologise

#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
