Have you ever booked an early doctors or dental appointment and then regretted it? My latest attempt at Juneathon started with a 06:30 alarm and a peaceful morning walk to collect some retainers from my dentist. Perhaps not ideal for a weekend, but it meant that I managed to tick off quite a few ‘adulting’ tasks. It unfortunately also meant that I didn’t make it…
Good morning, I hope that everyone who reads this is having an awesome Saturday. So far today I’ve collected some replacement retainers from the dentist and have missed parkrun. Hopefully my day will get better! I’m posting on a Saturday because it’s the start of June which can only mean one thing; the return of Juneathon. I last completed Juneathon four years ago, I was…
I hope that everyone had an amazing Bank Holiday weekend. I think the highlights of my weekend were volunteering at my local parkrun – I also had a go at writing the event report – completing a pain-free run, clearing out a load of junk, and catching up with some family friends. Thanks to a few manic weeks at work and the fact I’ve been feeling…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this post after treating a relative to breakfast at the local farm shop. Because I have a full-time job, nine times out of ten I end up treating people. I sometimes wonder how I’m ever going to save enough money to get on the property ladder. I’m going to have to learn how to say no. As always, all moans and groans and rants and…
I hope that everyone is having an amazing week; at least it’s almost the weekend. I think I’ve just about recovered from a slightly traumatic interview yesterday lunchtime. I think the expression ‘By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail’ quite accurately described what happened. I don’t want to put some sort of random ‘injury curse’ on myself, but after almost two months of…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this post after having a stressful day at work. I lost count of the number of times my computer crashed and I ‘lost’ what I was working on at the time. I’m also feeling a little tired after spending a little too much time out in the sun. As a result, I have a feeling that although I’ll do my best to…
If I didn’t have a knee injury, I’d definitely be taking part in the second running – apologies for the terrible pun – of the Ciderthon on Sunday May 5th 2019. As a cider lover, hopefully it will be a case of third time lucky and I’ll be able to take part in 2020. What’s the Ciderthon all about? Who said you can’t drink cider…
Happy Friday, the weekend is nearly here. I’ve got something a little different for you all today. As I can’t run, I’ve decided to write and share a ‘Day in my Life’ type post. I personally really enjoy reading these sort of posts, I love reading about how other people spend 24 hours. I hope that a typical Tuesday in my life isn’t too boring.…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this post after spending the morning at the dentist, again. My debit card has taken a bit of a battering. I’m also still not completely recovered from the lurgy and Wolves have just lost. As a result, this blog may be even more moany than usual if that’s possible. As always, all moans groans and rants and raves represent my own views.…
Good morning and happy Thursday. I hope that everyone who reads my weekly updates had a great weekend. Mine didn’t exactly go to plan. At least we’ve got most of the week out of the way, it will soon be the weekend again. The final week of my half marathon – taper week and race – recommended I completed an easy 20 minute run on…
