Good evening, one and all! @TheWelshWookie and I are home from our road trip, and we sound something like this:

We’ve had a fantastic weekend in Coventry, keeping up with the Joneses. Good food, and brilliant company. We’ve also had a few refreshments along the way:

Margaritas! Yum!

So, I’m now going to catch up on sleep, get prepared for the working week ahead, and get planning for our weekend away- again- next weekend. As it’s the RnR Dublin half marathon next Monday, I don’t have too much running planned for the week ahead, but I’ll keep you all posted.

Favourite driving track of the day: Perfect Ten, The Beautiful South

Today’s Life Lesson: all the crazies drive on the Motorway on Sundays….

What are your running plans for the coming week?

I thought I’d share some of my phone pics from the past 10 days or so, that didn’t make it onto the blog. Most are from my trip to London for The Color Run UK.

Enjoy! 😉

This chalkboard was in the ladies’ loo in Brewdog, Camden. Love it!

And this was the tip jar at The World’s End pub… it made me smile 🙂

We had a little drink here, in The Hawley Arms, which was a pub that Amy Winehouse frequented.

On our walk back from Camden to London Bridge, we came across this set design store- full of all kinds of weird and wonderful objects!

I’m hoping that you can name all three of these London landmarks…

Proof that we hired Boris’ Bikes, and cycled around Hyde Park 🙂

And, when I arrived home, the garden was blooming!

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Good afternoon: has everyone had as lazy a day as I’ve had, or is it just me?

Just chillin’

So, for the first day in a long time, I have no exercise planned. None. Whatsoever. Am I doomed?



I’ve had my morning protein smoothie, this one is with mixed berries, melon, pineapple with Greek yoghurt, chia, flax and chocolate protein powder:

I promise, it tastes better than it looks!

I’ve been catching up on some TV that I’ve missed, including Revolution (which is fab!)

I also tried out Quark Pancakes today, from www.nicsnutrition.com . They were really easy and quick to make, and were really delicious! The recipe suggests using wholewheat flour and backing soda: I’ll need to buy the flour, so substituted for self raising, just to give them a go. I also added some cinnamon, for flavour and sweetness, and they were great!

They were amazing! Thanks, @nicsnutrition ! 😀
