I managed to leave work just before 5 today – a nice change from 5:45 every day previously this week! The roads were ok too (so clearly people are interested in more than just the England game? Or maybe I was just lucky), so I was home at about 6. Lots of time for a …
Ah, I’ve slacked off this blog again. But at least I haven’t slacked off the training. So Tuesday night saw an 18 minute run. It was really hot outside, and the run was pretty tough… but I made it. Something like 3.24k in just over 18 minutes. And I didn’t feel too rubbish at the …
My first run of over 15 minutes in my training program. Once again I wasn’t feeling all that up for a run (you’re perhaps noticing a bit of a theme here), but my training program is pinned to my kitchen noticeboard, which makes it a bit more difficult to ignore. So I got my kit …
Oops, forgot to write this yesterday! I went to BodyPump in the morning for the first time in at least 2 weeks. I still thought that it would be a good idea to up my weights though! Really wasn’t up for a run in the afternoon, but again it was only a 15 minute run …
With 2 days off, and a slightly late finish at work I wasn’t really in the mood for a run. However, the sun was shining and it was only another short run – a 15 minute jog. I was hoping to go at least 2.8km today. I went a slightly different route, just to keep …
I finally succumbed to the idea that a training schedule may actually be a good idea to prepare for my 5km race in just under 4 weeks. So, yesterday, I scoured the net and found a training program which seemed to be manageable, and which I could adapt to the 4 weeks I have before …
I’m off on a camping trip to France over the summer with my boyfriend. We will be going to places we’ve never been before. We don’t have a sat nav. Time to buy one I feel. I was aware of a couple of brands, but thought that there were probably more. I did a quick …
It’s been a cold and snowy winter. A lot of the roads I drive on a daily basis have suffered. They are now a patchwork of potholes, previously filled potholes and some original tarmac. It’s akin to driving on roads in some Developing countries. I can’t help thinking that a number of websites are like …
I love burritos. In fact I love pretty much any Mexican food. So, I was delighted to visit The Mission Mexican Grill (they know burritos) in Reading over the weekend. The smell of the place, the sight of other people’s burritos – it all whet my appetite. When I got up to the counter to …
I’m off to the o2 Arena on Saturday night to watch a gig. It’s a pretty awkward place to get to if you live Westwards outside of London. Taking the train will probably take considerably longer than driving, what with all the changes and waiting around. But what about parking? My first port of call …
