Plean Parkrun

Near the end of last year, there was a Facebook post being shared within my local running community about the possible creation of a Parkrun in the Stirling area, the post was looking for volunteers to join the team to help make the event happen, it was still in the planning process with the park…

Sunday Run Down #12 Bruises, Bruno and a Breakthrough

I'm getting so bad at posting these on a Sunday. Oooops!  My race number arrived in the post on Saturday this is becoming very real! MONDAY I had my second sports massage at 5.30pm, Mondays are cross training days but Caroline advised not to exercise for at least 24 hours prior to the treatment so…

HOT Yoga

I've been to the odd yoga class here and there, I've tried so hard several times to properly get into Yoga and as much as I love meditation and stretching nothing I tried ever seemed to click, either I wasn't feeling the love for the space or for the teacher or I just felt really…

Sunday Run Down #1 Running and Stuff…

I've been loosely following a beginner marathon programme already for months but didn't want to bore you all to death with my running updates so now that it's 16 weeks today (what?!? )I thought I'd start my weekly marathon training updates, to keep me accountable and take note of my progress. Ironically, my first week…

Going sober

I've decided to quit alcohol. Today I woke up feeling fresh and ready to take on the day, as I type its currently 9.30am and I've already done 3 loads of washing, the same however, can't be said for last Sunday.  Last Sunday, I had a hangover, I felt rough, I was sick, it was…

Fit Friday -Week 4

I can't believe it is Friday again, already! This week was crazy busy.  I have end of month deadlines at work so the last week is always non-stop and caffeine fuelled. I've had to work late every night which meant I didn't manage to workout at all after work, even though we are currently having…

FIT Friday -Week 3

On Monday I started a 12 week  Challenge. Fiona has about 30 of her clients doing it.  Our challenge is to work out 4-5 times a week and eat clean. She had us email her photos and have to send progress photos every 4 weeks.  My photos were far from flattering but there is £100…

Fit Friday – Update

I've been loving working out the last few weeks, believe it or not I'm getting up every weekday to workout at 6am.  I wouldn't say I'm a morning person but I do feel much better if I start the day with a excercise. At the moment I have two gym memberships. One at my local…

Fit Friday -Week 2

I had great intentions of posting something non-fitness related midweek but Friday sort of snuck up on me quicker than ever this week...not that I'm complaining, It's the weekend!!! I'm really bad for not staying hydrated but Kevin's sister bought me this water bottle for the gym which I'm loving.  It's making me drink more…

FIT Friday -Week1

Happy Friday!! I have been much better this week with regards to my fitness levels. See, a problem shared is a problem halved! The mornings have still been a bit of struggle so I've been excercising after work during the week. I stuck to eating clean for all meals but struggled towards the end of…
