Before setting off for work today Mr LMR burnt a hole in our living room rug. The joys of having an open fire. I spent 20 minutes discussing how Middle Monkey could not get dressed because the only part of the room he wanted to dress in was too cold. I was also engaged in … [Read more…]
I know I only posted the other day but I have been trying since the new year to hibernate healthily. How am I getting on? Well, if I lived alone and could go out when I wanted and no one else ate my food, then things would be better. Still it could be worse. It … [Read more…]
Here we are again. January. My least favourite month. Despite a lack of official diagnosis, I am fairly confident that I suffer with Seasonal Affective Disorder. I wrote about this in January 2016. I can find myself overwhelmed at this time of year. Lethargic and feeling worthless. This is definitely time for some well planned … [Read more…]
This morning I ran my final mile in my #rwwinterrunstreak. I made it!!! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure I would. Unlike the summer runstreak this one came with bigger challenges. A real mixed bag of weather, festive frivolity, limited to no sleep thanks to, well, god knows what. Teeth…persistent cough…snotty nose…your guess is as … [Read more…]
Due to Christmas frivolity, too much chocolate and cheese and a toddler who has given up on sleep, it has taken me a couple of weeks to get this written. I really wanted to try and do it justice though, as this race has been the final goal for 2016. At times this year I … [Read more…]
Just a quick one to let you know that despite the festive season and Little Miss almost completely giving up on sleep, the #rwwinterrunstreak continues. Despite storm Barbara, Santa and overwhelming exhaustion, I have put in my mile a day. I just haven’t had time to write anything or think either. In fact I’m writing … [Read more…]
Today I was on my own again. I had a lot of Christmas jobs to get done which can be a bit of a struggle because I am always tempted to do more than I have time for. So this morning’s #mile for #rwwinterrunstreak was a good head clearer. I am loving that I can … [Read more…]
Having finished work last week for Christmas, I am enjoying the opportunity to pace my life a little slower. Top and Middle Monkey are still at school until Thursday and Little Miss is still in nursery for her usual sessions. I am therefore making the most of my time. Finally able to get a grip … [Read more…]
After an amazing full on weekend of weddings, races, early Christmas dinners and secret Santa, I took a leisurely mile this morning. All for my #rwwinterrunstreak. I am now off work in order to try and make some sense of Christmas before the weekend. Sometimes this time of year can be completely overwhelming and stressful. … [Read more…]
Day 24 of my #rwwinterrunstreak. I’m going to be quick because I am at a wedding. Child free and a little bit squiffy. It was a cold mile this morning. But I did a lap of the park. I marvelled at the fact that tomorrow I will run the same lap three times and finish … [Read more…]
