Hello, everyone! Did you have a good week? I did. Yesterday marked the end of this year’s 5×50 Challenge and despite injury, I’ve really enjoyed it. Here’s a short photo summary of my 5×50 adventures: 


I’m not quite finished with challenges, though, as we are mid way through Paths For All’s eight week step count challenge. 

To celebrate the end of 5×50, we booked our flights and accommodation for the inaugural Disneyland Paris Half Marathon this September. We have our training plan at the ready, and once my injury has healed we’ll get back out running. In the mean time I’ll keep up with the walking and PiYo. 

Here’s a little something that reflects my current feelings: 

 Kidding! Here it is, really: 


Have a wonderful week!

Hello, just a quick stop from me today- we had a wonderful weekend celebrating my nephew Liam’s First Communion on Saturday:

 Check out these crazy wee guys! On a less upbeat note, I’ve managed to irritate my sciatic nerve, so I’m off to the Docs tomorrow morning, just to check it out. Jacqui, my wonderful fitness guru has given me some stretches which have definitely hit the tender spot, so I’ll no doubt be doing those a few times a day for the next while. I’m hoping to keep up the fitness classes thought they may have to be adapted for now. 

Hope the sun is shining as brightly for you as it is for me today😀

Hello! How has your week been? The weather here has been stunning, if a little breezy at times. But, we’ve made the most of it, getting some runs and walks in as part of our 5×50 Challenge. In case you don’t follow me on social media, here’s the evidence:


 

  Tonight, we had a brilliant PiYo class, learning the basics of a new round. There are some moves that we haven’t done before, and it’s really challenging some muscles- which is great! It also reminded me of this, which I had pinned a while ago: 

 Whether the weather lasts or not, I’ll be getting on with day 31 of 5×50; bring it on!

Hello, did you miss me last week, when I was away gallivanting? @TheWelshWookie and I were off visiting the Harry Potter Studios Tour and it was awesome! Here are a couple of snaps: 

    
 If you get the chance to visit, you have to take it- to visit the actual set and to walk through the Great Hall, Diagon Alley and onto the Hogwarts Express was amazing! 

From a fitness point of view, we did lots and lots of walking in London and around about. We also visited Southend and walked the longest pier in the world, which is 1.3 miles long!  

 I’m glad to be back into a routine, though, and we were back at PiYo tonight, starting the next round, which is round 40. I think I’m going to love some of these routines and the 80s music is fantastic! I tried out my new mat tonight, but it isn’t sticky or grippy enough and I couldn’t grip properly, so I ended up swapping it for one of Jacqui’s. Any tips on how to make a mat more ‘sticky’ if you know what I mean? 

  it is pretty, though!

After a break, and with the summer looming, it’s easy to fall away from routine and to not stick to fitness goals. If that rings true for you, I hope this helps; it has helped me this week: 

 Have a great week!

First, let me start today’s post by congratulating all of those fabulous runners who achieved over the weekend. I know a few people who had big runs and races, and I want to say well done to you all! 

I didn’t run over the weekend. This cold keeps flaring up, and it definitely seems to be coming in waves, so I’ve been getting plenty of cross training done instead. This weekend I had some brilliant fun wine tasting with the girls, it was such a fabulous night 🙂

Here’s something to get is all started this week: 


Not sure if say obsession but this has given me pause.
