2021 – The year of building better habits
I love a good planner, last year I had The Happiness Planner’s daily planner and loved it! Being out of work this year I couldn’t justify buying that again but found a comparable one on Amazon and have everything broken down into yearly, quarterly, monthly, and weekly goals. I think maybe I like the…

A New Year!
That’s going to be my 2017 in a nutshell. I’m taking it a little bit at a time to manage my goals. I’ve mapped out January and February in terms of exercise: Insanity Max:30 (thanks to Hubby for the Christmas gift!) should take care of most of my exercise (and help me get into…

Cancer Shmancer
On Father’s Day I participated in my local Race for Life to support Cancer Research UK. It was in Bath and I had decided months ago, when the registrations opened I would do it and I had plenty of time to train for it, even though it’s only a 5K, to give me a…

I’ll be back
Last week I got knocked down by a nasty cold while at Chevron 8.1 (a post on that coming soon!) and that meant my training had to be pushed back until I felt better. June is rapidly approaching – is it really mid-April already?! – so I can’t procrastinate any longer. Thankfully I’m feeling…

Holiday Haze
Remember earlier in the year when I was doing Insanity? My knee and shin just can’t take it and I had to stop a week into the second month. I can handle the first month okay, but the second does some damage and even when I modify I just can’t do it properly. So…

When the going gets tough, sign up for a 5K?
I didn’t mention this in my last post on Friday, but that day was pay day. We weren’t paid. It’s Tuesday now and still nothing. And we don’t have any idea of when we will be paid. Needless to say this is very frustrating and horribly stressful. I’m already stressed out enough, I didn’t need…

We Could Live Beside The Ocean
Following on from my previous music post I had a bit of reminiscing when Everclear’s Santa Monica played. It immediately reminded me of a hot day at the beach, with one of my ex-boyfriends and a few of his friends, driving around and singing it at the top of our lungs. I was still…

A New Challenge
OK. As I mentioned yesterday I made a decision. I decided I was going to enter a race for next year. I started searching for a suitable race to enter, a 10k most likely. Then I found the Bath Half Marathon. Then I decided I would run it. It takes place on Sunday March…

Overwhelmed
That pretty much sums up the month of September for me. Hubby’s parents decided to move to Spain, have already sold their house and now have to be out by the end of the month. Hubby’s Gran is also going with them! We had a friend and her two kids round for the weekend…
