Good morning/good afternoon/good evening (please delete as appropriate!). I hope that you all had an amazing August and managed to make the most of the recent Bank Holiday weekend. I’m repeating myself, but I can’t believe how quickly the year is going and that it’s September today. Does anyone else associate September with the end of the summer holidays and the start of a new…
I hope that whoever reads this latest personal challenges update – hello Rob – is having an awesome weekend. I’m acutely aware that I’ve been a little quiet recently, so quiet that people noticed that I’d disappeared. The truth is that I’ve been struggling quite a lot, so I decided to take a break from blogging and from social media. I’m starting to feel better;…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this rants and raves post after spending the day in MS Teams meetings. I never thought I’d write this, but I’m starting to miss face to face meetings. I’m starting to miss my colleagues and I desperately need to stock up my tea bag and hot chocolate sachet tin. As always, all rants and raves and moans and groans represent my own…
I hope that whoever takes the time to read this latest personal challenges update is having an amazing week. I’m aware that I’m repeating myself, but I can’t believe how quickly the year is going, and we are now into the second half of 2021. I’m feeling reasonably confident that parkrun will return later this month. I can’t wait to volunteer. I’m feeling slightly less…
Good morning and happy(ish) Monday. As always, I hope that everyone who takes the time to read this latest random selection of training and life updates had an amazing weekend. I’m acutely aware that I sound like a broken record but my weekend had a couple of highlights; another tasty Bistrot Pierre lunch and getting to the end of Week 6 of the Couch to…
Good morning and happy Monday. I hope that everyone had a fabulous weekend. My weekend had two quite predictable highlights; successfully completing another week of my Couch to 5k training and yet another visit to Bistrot Pierre for lunch. The NHS Live Well website provided the following information about the three interval sessions in Week 5 of the Couch to 5k training plan. After finding completing the same…
Good morning and happy Monday. When this blog is published I’ll hopefully be halfway through an appointment with the dental hygienist. I’m sort of looking forward to having my teeth scaled and polished. As always, I hope that whoever reads my latest life and training update had a fabulous weekend. My weekend had a couple of highlights; another tasty but calorific lunch in Bistrot Pierre,…
I hope that you enjoyed the Late May Bank Holiday weekend. For once, the weather in Four Oaks was pretty much perfect and I spent most of the weekend outside. I’m aware that I’m repeating myself, but I can’t believe how quickly the year is going and that it’s June today. Now that I’ve started following the Couch to 5k again, I really hope that…
Good morning and happy Bank Holiday Monday. I hope that whoever reads this latest random training and life update is having/had a great long weekend. So far, my long weekend has had two highlights; getting to the end of the third week of my Couch to 5k training, and eating lunch on Saturday inside an actual restaurant with another person. I’m glad we weren’t eating…
Good morning. As always, I hope that whoever takes the time to read this review of the second week of my Couch to 5k training had an amazing weekend. If it wasn’t amazing, I hope that it was at least more interesting than my weekend. After the excitement of the previous weekend, the weekend just gone was pretty mundane and I spent far too much…
