Crisps Are My Weakness

Feeling A Bit Under The Weather
Today is one of two rest days that I have scheduled in for myself this week. I could have easily run today but I thought I was a good idea to take the day off to allow my body to have a bit of time to recover as I haven't had a rest day since … Continue reading Feeling A Bit Under The Weather
Week 2 Summary – Getting The Hang Of It
Week 1 was a very difficult for me even though it was only a short week. Coming back to work after having time off is always difficult as you are not used to getting up and ready as early but this is even worse after Christmas and new year and all of the additional things … Continue reading Week 2 Summary – Getting The Hang Of It
Everybody Needs A Rest Day
I have been doing really well this week with running more consistently but today I had a few meetings which would have made it difficult for me to go for a run and eat lunch.
