Happy Birthday to me! (Sing along everyone!) Today I turn 37, and I shall be celebrating by hydrating and generally being mostly sensible because tomorrow I have an early start for a big Roller Derby game in Hemel Hempstead.

If the weather isn’t beautiful then I hope it’s a beautiful day anyway, because you can definitely have a beautiful day without beautiful weather. It’s amazing how much happier a little bit of sunshine

I’m going to come clean right now. I don’t think I actually did any of last months goals. I wanted to improve my explosive strength and flexibility, but I didn’t do either of those things. In fact I’m probably more hunched up like a little old lady than I was in March. I didn’t even

I’m going to be honest with you. Right now I’m so tired, and maybe just slightly hungover, that my eyes are a bit blurry. I’m  a person who really values regular quiet time. Early nights with a book and a hot chocolate, quiet evenings in front of the TV, a lazy afternoon with nothing to

As I sat down to think back over March I realised I couldn’t really remember what on earth I’d done this month. I had to go fetch my diary and review all my assorted apps to remind myself what I’d actually been doing. I know I got a new fitness watch to try, which I

Good Morning! Blimey am I tired this morning. It’s been a long weekend already, and it’s not even over yet. I started writing this post at high-speed as I thought I had time to finish it before I went to the gym. As it turns out, my laptop disagreed and decided to hit go slow
