Well, I promise you this isn’t one of those weeks where I say “Well, I didn’t really DO much” because this week I did LOTS of things. There are probably a lot of people out there who do a lot more things in a week, hell, one of the bloggers I was on a trip

Good morning! How are we all today? Often I start my weekly diaries by declaring I have basically done NOTHING, but I don’t intend to let that stop me talking about it, oh no. This is not one of those weeks. This week has actually been pretty busy by my standards. That means that this

Oh what a month. January has actually been quite good for me. Post Christmas I decided to spend a few weeks working on strength, particularly glutes and hamstrings, and on my hip flexibility.
