Today I am in such a rush to get stuff done as I am going away for the weekend camping. At 2pm I thought I better go out quick. So off I went. Turns out that even if you’re only running a mile you should still put your proper running pants on and not
Buying vintage lingerie is a bit of a minefield. For starters, we don’t all feel comfortable in someone elses old undercrackers, and if you’re lucky enough to find some deadstock, then what are the chances you’ll find it in your size? There are some fabulous reproduction companies out there, but today I’m going to share
I went out for another short run today. No real pain from my thigh, but my achilles has started to feel sore, is this one of those “all the bits are connected” things? Who knows. Maybe the running gods just hate me this June. I carefully took photos of my feet and sweaty post run
Woo! Yeah baby! It might have only been a mile, but I am functioning normally, ish. I’ve never been so aware of every muscle twinge as I was today, terrified of hurting myself further. But I was ok. It was however hideously humid, which always affects my breathing as I’m asthmatic, so the mile was

By the afternoon it had settled into warm, but with grey skies, but it was with a typically British sense of distrust that I headed out wearing those crazy high raffia wedges that I’ve been waiting to wear for ages, carrying an umbrella
Well, I’ve been being sensible. The leg is much better, though I can’t bend it behind me more than a 90 degree bend without pain. So I am taking short walks and gently stretching it. Roller Derby is out for Monday, but I might try a short and slow run later in the week. Disappointed
Yeah, yeah. I imagine you all waiting around with baited breath to hear how long a plank I did today and how much I smell of deep heat. The answers. 80 seconds and a lot. I can walk without limping today, which is progress, but can’t bend my leg backwards, like you would for a
