Otherwise known about ‘The IronMan Diaries’ This year, I have decided to be fitter and eventually compete in a Half IronMan. The Half IronMan is in early March 2024 and as I progress through this year I will track how I’m getting on. I know that it will be reasonably slow progress…but I am okayContinueContinue reading “Fitness Goals 2023 [Edited]”

Fitness Training: ParkRun
This morning was muggy and I was literally dripping with sweat even before the run had began – however, I managed to get through the entire 5km by doing a sort of walk/run interval thing. I did splits of 2:00 mins / 0:30 secs – So, 2 minutes of running/jogging, and then 30 seconds ofContinueContinue reading “Fitness Training: ParkRun”
Fitness Training: ParkRun
I started the year off slowly…I have had Covid and am still getting over a sprained ankle from November. So I have been feeling delicate. I walked the first loop and then, as James was running, decided to only do half of the second loop. I didn’t want him to have wait for ages forContinueContinue reading “Fitness Training: ParkRun”
Dirt Duathlon 3
This weekend James and I took part in our third Dirt Duathlon in the dark. It started at 7pm and we kept going until about 11:30pm.

Dirt Duathlon 1
This weekend James and I took part in our first Dirt Duathlon. It was hard! Having never done anything like this before, we weren’t really sure of what to expect (or how to do an adventure race at all really…), and it was very hard, but we made it through (well mostly). What is aContinueContinue reading “Dirt Duathlon 1”

Things I am loving this week
I have had an average week. My real life (as opposed to my internet life) has been very busy! Work has been full on and deadlines are looming. This past weekend was a combination of sun, wind and rain. James and I were out landscaping the garden! We’re having a bit of a drainage problemContinueContinue reading “Things I am loving this week”
Health and Wellbeing
Just recently I have been flagging a bit when it comes to my health, fitness and general wellbeing goals! Any of you who regularly read my blog will remember my post earlier in the year, A Cows Milk Allergy!? Where I discussed how I had been diagnosed as being milk allergic. Since then I’ve beenContinueContinue reading “Health and Wellbeing”
