Mix and match

So the definition of a mixed day… Another mixed day – definitely a speciality of mine. Lots and lots of work: so much that I couldn’t make my lunch-time spinning class. I had to make do doing a solo spin after work. I went through my final fantasy soundtrack, but unfortunately my play list was […]

Sunny Saturday

But a good day overall… I tend to have quite a few mixed days that involve exercise and something really un-energetic or in fact downright unhealthy. This morning started with a run. I was planning to try and beat my target of 5 miles in under 35 minutes, so I set out attempting to run […]

Friday fun times

Feeling strong and on it… Back on the indoor exercise today, even though it’s been a warm day. At least that means I didn’t end up accidentally eating any wildlife like yesterday. The usual Friday spinning class, which I wasn’t feeling up to at all. I’ve been lacking energy all day, but my colleagues were […]

Busy bank holiday

Friday was the usual great spinning class, nothing new to report, other than I’m still feeling coldy (if that’s a real word). This weekend was a bit poor […]

Back to spin

Hopefully I’ll have the strength/energy to spin this week… Wahey! I managed to spin today. It wasn’t the usual instructor for Wednesday, it was the Friday instructor, which meant much more climbing. There were a few new people in the class, which is great. One of them was next to me: I noticed he kept […]

Miss me?

But hey, it’s Friday tomorrow… I’m back! I’ve been ill since Thursday/Friday (still a little ill now if I’m honest) but I finally managed to do some exercise. It has been rainy all weekend and until today: I was planning on going for a short run this weekend, even with the cold, just to keep […]
