Running for my mental health

April 30, 2018 by Louise 3 Comments

I don’t think I ever realised how my mental health was being sustained by my running until last year. Getting injured in January 2017 turned my life upside down. What I hadn’t expected however was my life to crumble as a result. It turned out that the short twenty minute miles I was squeezing in … [Read more…]

Feel like you’re working hard but going nowhere? Maybe it is time to stop, take stock and learn to pace yourself.

Turning disappointment into determination

March 8, 2018 by Louise 2 Comments

Let’s talk disappointment. When you are pushing to achieve your goals and working really hard, there is nothing worse than feeling like you are getting nowhere. Not to mention how demoralising it can be when you have made your goals and plans public and you seemingly have nothing to show for it. Oh the shame. … [Read more…]

It’s time to keep getting stronger

February 25, 2018 by Louise Leave a Comment

Almost exactly one year ago myself and Mr LMR went away for a night away from the monkeys. Tonight we are doing it again. A lot has happened in that year and the contrast is amazing. However reflecting on what was at times a pretty miserable 2017 has shown me how much stronger I am … [Read more…]

My first run of 2018

January 27, 2018 by Louise 2 Comments

Guess what? I’m injured and I’m not joking! Despite everything that went on in the last 12 months my first run was littered with rookie mistakes and now I have shin splints in both legs. Am I going to let it defeat me? Well no I’m not. I’m going to keep being Smart. The best … [Read more…]

Let’s get Smart in 2018

January 23, 2018 by Louise 1 Comment

It’s nearly the end of January and, despite my best intentions, I have not yet set out my 2018 goals and aspirations. Unless you count just pulling myself out of the fog of 2017 of course. Well I have had some goals and aspirations mapped out for a while now. The blog has been quiet … [Read more…]

Finding freedom in 2018

January 1, 2018 by Louise 2 Comments

This morning I found myself stood in my pantry (yes my house is that old) I couldn’t remember why I was there or what I wanted. Post Christmas it was full of disorganised junk and the door had slowly closed behind me. I took a deep breath because I was too tired to get frustrated … [Read more…]

Little Mummy baking bread

November 10, 2017 by Louise 2 Comments

I made my own bread! Ta dah! I have been working with my physio and a personal trainer to improve muscle strength and stability to help me recover from my injuries. We all know how unstable I am. I’ve been pretty impressed with my progress so far but I have to say that I am … [Read more…]

Spaghetti head

October 30, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

I’m a mess. My brain is like a bowl of spaghetti. A big jumbled tangle of thoughts and feelings all leading nowhere. I would love to separate them all out and straighten them one by one. Observe them and understand them. Then chose to keep or discard them. This is what I thought Mindfulness would … [Read more…]

Feel the fear and sit tight: World Mental Health Day

October 10, 2017 by Louise 5 Comments

Despite my writing about mental health publicly and always knowing that my mental health is temperamental, I have never before sought a diagnosis. I will freely admit that the reason has been fear. Fear that a diagnosis would be my undoing and the fear of the stigma. This year my injury lead to a major … [Read more…]
