Day 31 - Done!

Monday 31st Mar Another 17.35km this afternoon took me over the finish line! Another post later 💜 but for now... Feeling pretty proud of myself 🥰 Share

Day 30 - Done!

Sunday 30th Mar Had an amazing weekend away with some of my favourite people. Lots of food and drink and games and chill time. But very little sleep! So gym sesh immediately after getting home from Wales before I crashed out and did nothing for the rest of the day. Now up to 111 miles and I have the day off tomorrow so I'll gym during the morning and get that smug sense of achievement nice and early! 💜 Share

Day 27 - Done!

Thursday 27th Mar Tomorrow is the beginning of Geekender Six so I've been shopping to get stuff ready for that so the timings were all wrong for the gym. So we did two laps of town and that gave me 2mi so I've now reached 100mi! Crazy that if I hadn't changed my goal I would've completed it tonight. But, that means 20mi left. I can totally do this by the end of Monday. Keep pushing baby! Share

Day 24 - Done!

Monday 24th Mar Back from Silvers practice Exped earlier than I thought so made the most of it and went to the gym. The only target today was to do half an hour. That's another 6mi added to the tally and I'm now at 98... Only another 22 to go! Now shower and dinner and sleep! Share

Day 21 - Done!

Friday 21st Mar Day off school today so went to the gym early to avoid everyone haha. Tough session to get through but another 14mi on the tally. Share

Day 20 - Done!

Thursday 20th Mar Dragged myself back into the gym today after a few days off. Not the best pace, but added some miles to the counter and got sweaty 😂 Looking forward to having energy again once my B12 kicks in over the weekend. I've been literally exhausted and brain foggy so just existing after work til bed time. But day off tomorrow so will hit the gym when it's quiet and catch up a little and then get my jab in the evening. I can sleep the rest of the time! Hopefully these few days haven't tanked the new goal 😬 Share

Day 16 - Done!

Sunday 16th Mar Today was the definition of not wanting to - but doing it anyway. I'm super tired. Looking at my calendar I've realised I'm due my B12 injection on Friday so I shouldn't be surprised or top annoyed with myself for feeling sluggish. Now up to 67 miles... I'm changing my goal to 120 miles. I'm half way through the month and I've remained committed and I think I can make the full distance now. Share

Day 15 - Done!

Saturday 15th Mar So I took a few days off cos the Brain Weasels weren't being kind and made me feel tired and rubbish about everything. BUT! I got up early today to drop Rich off as he's megagame control today so I was in the gym by 08:15, snagged a bike, and that was it. There was a treadmill available this morning but I needed to make some miles up due to the missed days... It was a difficult session today and I had to take a 30 second pause. I told myself I could quit at 15km if I wanted to but then I had some texts from Tom and that managed to distract me enough that 15km came and went and by the time I was paying attention again I had about 15min left on the clock so figured I ought to push to the end. So snagged 23.12km before 09:30 and now I can go about and do all the other stuff I need to do today without worrying about when to fit the gym in! Overall tracker says I'm at 58miles... That 120 goal is getting louder and louder. Share

Day 11 - Done!

Tuesday 11th Mar Something is better than nothing! Short and sweet sub-30min 5 miles this evening. Hoping to do the full hour tomorrow, Thursday and Saturday! 💜 Keep on keeping on! Share

Day 9 - Done!

Sunday 9th Mar I felt guilty for not hitting the gym yesterday so told myself I HAD to go today AND that I HAD to cycle to bank some distance. Anything I said about the bike on Friday was a lie! 😅😂 I am SORE and I am sweating and I am gross but I am so GD proud of myself right now. I cleared 21.35km today! That's another 13.26 miles in the bag and on the counter. Apparently I've registered 39 miles so far this month. That's crazy to me considering I haven't been in a gym for like 2 and a bit years now? Heading home to get a shower and then I'm just going to exist for a while 😂 Share

Day 7 - Done!

Friday 7th Mar Straight to the gym after work. It was busy, as expected, so I had to get on the bike. The bike is only good for distance but I got a decent burn as well given I only did half an hour. 11.31km and 253 cal. Now to relax with pizza and Avowed. Happy Friyay indeed 💜 Share

Day 5 - Done!

Wednesday 5th Mar Yeah, Day 4 didn't happen... I got some timings mixed up and couldn't get to the gym. But for back on track today and ticked off another 6.18km / 3.84mi Feeling pretty good that I didn't let one day derail me completely. Hubblet got me some running socks and omgggg they make such a difference! My feet aren't sore at all, not even my heels 😍 Tomorrow is a planned day of no activity but back to it on Friday and into the weekend. Share

Day 3 - Done Did It!

Monday 3rd Mar Gym was busy when I went today and all the treadmills were taken. Uh oh, now what? I didn't plan for this... So I told myself I'd do 10km on the bike and then get a treadmill later, they'd surely be free then... Right? Wrong! But that's another 11.17km to the total bringing me to 23.78km across the three days. I had planned to walk/run the whole thing but a weekly cycle might be good too, it puts the pressure on different parts of the body so I don't feel the same pain tonight! Heavy and doing it anyway! 🤘💜 Share

Day 2 - Done!

Sunday 2nd Mar Shorter distance today, really pushing yesterday followed by sitting in a weird position with my laptop for 6 hours meant I was feeling headachey and pained. Back of my left foot is hurting so think the blister has come through properly now, I'll have to pop a compeed on for tomorrow. But - it's not all doom and gloom. I came out, I set my playlist, I pushed through to complete the hour even though I wanted to stop a few times. Resilience is a key part of the Award and is something I have an abundance of (if I wanted to praise myself!). 2 days down, I'll decide ready for Day 8 whether I'm sticking to my original 100 mile goal or if I'm going to push for the 120. Share

Day 1 - Done!

Saturday 1st Mar I need to work on speed as treadmills turn off after an hour! So I had to do it in two parts (with like a ten seconds break to reset the machine and finish the last KM) I feel it in my hammies but looking forward to going in tomorrow. Share

Today's The Day

Saturday 1st Mar It's 1st March. I've got my playlist ready, I've charged my headphones, and I've got my gym membership.  Share
