Running
Back in Andalucía and it was wonderful to wake up to a blue sky, even though it’s still a chilly (for here) 8 degrees. I missed a couple of runs this week, making it even nicer to get out. I was beginning to feel claustrophobic by the end of

The running torch / chest strap that Carmen bought for my birthday was great heading through St James‘ Park this evening. The sudden contrast from headlights, streetlights and brightly lit shops on The Strand and Trafalgar Square means my eyes don’t have time to adjust and it’s suddenly like

Running
Hurtling towards another big one. 58 today. Celebrating with a lovely run through Battersea Park, in the opposite direction to all the club runners flying by at sub 7 minute pace! 🚀 In all honesty, I’m so grateful that I feel fit and well enough to be running seven miles
Running
As awful as Sunday’s run was, today’s was lovely. Maybe it was the restorative chair massage courtesy of the team from Skyn Deep who visited Rise this afternoon. Perhaps it was missing a run yesterday. Maybe it was the need to ‘vent’ after being told (again) “fantastic business
Running
Feeling in need of some yoga. Right IT band is a tiny bit tender. Uneventful run in to the office this morning. Left a little later than I should have so the pavements were busy.
Running
This morning’s run was nothing short of awful! Spent a day in the car yesterday - London to Derbyshire and back to see my mother. I felt completely dehydrated, tired, elevated heart rate and even dizzy at one point. I’m definitely not on top form. Despite five weeks
Running
Commute run home from office. With my aging eyes, dodging the commuters (with heads down looking at smartphones) by zigzagging in the dark is more challenging than I‘d like! It’s hard to get any rhythm on a rush hour urban run (in the dark), but it’s always

Finally got the trainers back on, although I'm still snottier than a snail on a rainy day. This cold really hasn't wanted to budge. Temperature was perfect for running though. Nice breeze (from behind) and around 11 degrees. Would have been nice to see a little more sunshine, but St
Yoga
Needed that! My usual restorative practice with Melissa Krieger “Oceanside Restorative Yoga.” I always feel super refreshed after this session, although today I fear I may be going down with something. Feeling a little rough.
Running
Wanted to run 34 miles this week but missed Wednesday’s morning run, leaving me with 20 left to do over the weekend. That was a good thing because I had January half marathon in this month’s Strava goals, so seven yesterday and 13.1 today meant I’d
