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

Lead Legs – Day 7 Janathon
After yesterdays monster effort on the bike the legs were feeling pretty heavy today. Â Thank goodness for a late start at work so didn't have to run until after lunch. Â 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

Got … Continue reading Short but sweet -Day 5 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

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!
