#juneathon Day 9 – Er, Ouch.

Oh dear. I am hurt. Todays intention had initially been to head out for a 10k. But the ache that started as that stabbing pain in my thigh on Friday night was still there so I downgraded my intentions to 4 and a bit miles. We drove out to the lake we used to run

#Juneathon Day 8. The Day a Fly Flew Up My Nose.

So today I had to have my run done before I leave the house at 12:30 as I won’t be coming back till tonight. So I sat in bed and procrastinated until 10:30 and then got up to run round the block in a panic. My legs feel quite heavy and tired today, maybe because

#Juneathon Day Four – Because I’m Stupid.

One of the advantages of being self employed is that if you’re having a bit of a bad day, feeling a bit grumpy then you can just drop it all and go for an afternoon run. Yeah, in your face stupid bad day. That’s what I thought this afternoon anyway. I intended to do 4

#Juneathon Day 3 – Time to Try Roller Derby

3 days into Juneathon and I’ve decided to adapt my own rules slightly. Ok, I’ve decided to completely change my own rules, just because I can. Yesterday I had the chance to go along to a Roller Derby try out session and learn how to skate. I say “had chance” it’s a weekly rolling recruitment

#juneathon Day 2

Ugh. Last night I went to fabulous party. It was organised by Mr Chick and some of our male friends, and all the ladies were treated to an open air screening of Moulin Rouge. Complete with punch, cava, spiced rum, spiked hot chocolate and absinthe. Oh, and the glass of wine and two rum cocktails
