Why, hello there, stranger!

Did you miss me?

I know that I had said I’d do a couple of posts while I was in Tenerife, but it didn’t happen. I didn’t have much access to WiFi, and I used up my phone data quite quickly! Ooops! 😉

And, on top of that, my web domain expired while I was away – I had completely forgotten about it! Ooops again! 😮

So, I’m very sorry for the accidental blogging break. But, I’m back, and I’m really looking forward to catching up on your blogs over the next couple of weeks, and seeing what I have missed.

Here’s a little something that sums up the past couple of weeks for me:

So, what big news have I missed?

Happy Monday! Did you miss me, as I’ve been AWOL the last few days? 😉

I’m afraid that I’ve been nursing a bit of an ankle injury. Well, erm, I haven’t actually injured it yet, but it has been feeling a little tender, just how it did before I damaged the ligaments two and a half years ago.

I’ve been very lucky, as I’ve been injury-free since then. But, with a holiday to Tenerife starting this weekend, I really don’t want to take any chances. The last thing I need is to be hobbling up and down hills on holiday!

So, my marathon training has been paused, though I’d much rather take a few days off from running now, than be forced into weeks of RICE. 🙂

I did do gardening and weeding this weekend, leaving me with some mighty DOMS: surely that counts as cross-training, right?

Here are four very simple, but very powerful words:

Be it training for a marathon, recovering from injury, or anything else, this is so true. Don’t you think?

 

Are you having a good Monday?

We’ve had glorious sunshine all weekend, and today, and it’s set to continue over the next few days. Hurrah!

Did you celebrate World Gin Day on Saturday? I did – I’ll tell you more about it later in the week 😉

Yesterday, I got in my first run (at home) in a vest – summer is definitely on its way!

Here’s something that jumped out at me recently: I really do think that it is true….

Just remember, when you’re in the midst of the chaos, calm waters aren’t too far away.

Are you enjoying summer weather where you are?

Hello, everyone! How has your weekend been?

I’ve had a fab weekend, running my section of the GB Relay 2014. It felt fantastic to be part of something that 1000’s of runners are involved in over the coming couple of weeks 🙂

Today I’m having a rest day after yesterday’s 8 mile walk & 8 mile run.

I found myself asking ‘Am I mad?’ a few times yesterday, which brought this quote to mind:

Clearly, I must be bonkers……….. are you? Have a crazy week!
