I had intended to run to work today, but I thought I would take a gamble and see what time I woke up....mmm 10 to 8, too late! Having left my bike at work, I had to steal hubby's crappy old bike and head out through the freezing fog that had settled this morning. Not … Continue reading Foggy Fitness – Day 9 Janathon

Plodding along – Day 8 Janathon
So I forgot to mention that I did cycle home last night at near midnight, so did squeeze in another 7 miles on the bike yesterday. Busy bee this morning so didn't have time to make it to my planned Bioticfit class, but did clean the house, so that certainly burnt some cals.Anyhow another late … Continue reading Plodding along – Day 8 Janathon
Lead Legs – Day 7 Janathon
After yesterdays monster effort on the bike the legs were feeling pretty heavy today. Thank goodness for a late start at work so didn't have to run until after lunch. Feeling confident from heading out in daylight for a change, I thought I would take the scenic route, it's only a mile longer, so took … Continue reading Lead Legs – Day 7 Janathon
3000 calories smashed #BOOM! – Day 6 Janathon
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant day out! I know I was going to run every day, but I think a 55mile cycle takes care of that! Headed out with hubby and pal, Harry (our personal cycle guide😜) left Didsbury, out through Alderley Edge to the Cat & Fiddle. Lovely stop at the tea rooms for a delish … Continue reading 3000 calories smashed #BOOM! – Day 6 Janathon
Short but sweet -Day 5 Janathon
With a case of DOMS set in & some 'womanly' stomach cramps, Day 5 was going to be tough. I put it off long enough and at 4.30pm decided to do my own circuits session, involved about 3 miles of running, 15mins of skipping and a mixture of burpees, squats, lunges & press ups. Got … Continue reading Short but sweet -Day 5 Janathon
Feeling the burn – Day 4 Janathon
Sprang out of bed this morning ready & raring to go! 7 mile cycle to work to kick start the day. A couple of positives this morning, it was dry (yay) and the mornings are already getting lighter, 6.30am & the light was appearing on the horizon, I say light rather than sun as that … Continue reading Feeling the burn – Day 4 Janathon
Goosed on Day 3
1st day back at work, so to ward off Monday-itis I got started with a 7 mile run to work, it was a tough one, not sure if it was just heavy legs as a reminder of festive excess or the fact that I didn't want to go back to work! Day done, so a … Continue reading Goosed on Day 3
Hubby’s 6 mile birthday run
A big happy birthday to my hubby today, celebrated today by arranging his 1st ever sports massage to try and sort out some niggling pains (aren't I sweet😉?) A day of healthy eating culminating in a lovely 6 mile run around Didsbury & Chorlton Water Park. We might have to celebrate properly with a vino, … Continue reading Hubby’s 6 mile birthday run
Janathon has begun!
I have Janathon to thank for getting me out today! Day 1 complete with a steady 4 mile run, was a full on day with the day still in Holland with family being cooked a full breakfast to mop up the hangover, to Oliebollen (a type of seriously bad for you donut) with coffee, to … Continue reading Janathon has begun!
