Before my injury I had a plan for 2017. It was a good plan that was going to change the direction of my blog. My first year of blogging was about me. About refinding me in amongst the chaos of three little monkeys. In the last year I found me and more. I learned about … [Read more…]
I had a plan, like I have many plans. The goals were set, the tactics and sections all decided upon. The blog posts were about to be written and motivation was high (despite it being January). Then the plan went wrong. The wheels fell off in the first bend. Well maybe two wheels at first. … [Read more…]
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…]
