Eeekkk… the reality has just got real…. It is THIS year that I am running the London Marathon! Super excited and totally motivated to continue with my training. What an awesome start to 2025….. I played padel for 1.5 hours. Followed by a quick coffee before I play tennis for 1.5 hours. I then completed […]
Don’t get too excited…. I wasn’t running in Los Angeles. It would have been lovely though if I was, however, I was on the treadmill. I find it easier to do my interval/speed sessions on a treadmill as I don’t think I would push myself as hard if I was pounding the roads. The aim
Boy oh boy what a lazy morning I was having but that is probably because I am playing catch-up on sleep as I went out for dinner last night at The Lantern Inn. I had such an amazing time catching up with old work friends from my Youth Offending Team. Although we do not see
Wahooooo…… I think this evening has to be my favourite run so far!! I loved loved it. I worked 10-6:30pm today and then I headed straight out of the door for an Easy 30 minute run around the streets of London. Tonight’s run was so much easier than running on the treadmill. It was great.
Tonight’s entertainment was an evening catching up with Julie before the theatre and then going to see The Tempest… A massive thanks goes to my dear friend Richard for organising a wonderful evening as per norm.
What an awesome day….. I started the day with a really lazy morning before I cooked Roast Beef for a lunch date with Jorge. Then I headed out of the door to play 1.5 hours of padel! Once Jorge I had finished work.. I picked him up so that we could go for our run.
Today’s run was about building up my long runs…. Last week it was 30 minutes and my average pace was 12:38 min/mile. Tonight I pushed myself way too hard…. I started running at a speed of 5.5mph. Why you may ask yourself why? That is the same question that I have asked myself. The reason
Another Easy 30 minutes relaxed run…. I am supposed to keep the pace really relaxed and try to think about breathing consistently throughout.. It says if you ned to walk some of it… there is no shame in that. I think I shall remember this later on when the training gets tougher and longer but
I was supposed to do this session yesterday but I decided to change the days around as I was worried that it would have been too much after playing padel for 1.5 hours and then having to drive home to Kent for the annual Panto campout! The first exercise… I really really struggled with….It is
Wahooo…. it’s the first Friday of December and that can only mean one thing… It is our annual overnight camp for Panto Tickets… Oh no it isn’t… oh yes it is. We have had our Chinese which was really yummy this year!! We set up our first little camp before we can move into our
Boy Oh Boy…… I soooo didn’t want to go for a run today. I was up at 4:20am to go to work… I had an awesome day at work but I just didn’t fancy putting on my running shoes… Have a word with yourself Gregory… It is only week 2 of your official training programme
I wasn’t going to start my official marathon training until after Christmas but I have changed my mind!! I know it will be tough and I was worried that I would over do it if I started training to soon but I am also a little bit worried if I do not start soon I
What an absolutely amazing day I have had today. I was motivated by Charlie’s post about his mum doing strength and conditioning… this is something that I have avoided as I know my legs are so weak… It’s a silly reason why not to do something when it is an area that I definitely need
Wahooo….. I have finally finished my CPD for my Social Work re-registration… I told myself at the beginning of the week, I was not allowed out to play until I got it done apart from going to the theatre on Friday night as that was booked ages ago. I have felt a little bit guilty
Today is my first run since I was nearly eaten alive by the escalator at London Bridge. To be honest, I am not 100% sure if it is too early to go for a run as I still have a bit of swelling behind my knee and my back and side still ache a little.
What a great start to the weekend. I collected my mum and we head to our favourite Deli for brunch…. The Green Door Deli in Herne Bay. This weekend they will be celebrating their 10 year anniversary. I forgot to take a photo of what we had but it was lush!! It is so nice
