First long bike ride of the year

Here is today’s IDEAfit photo a day image for the topic ‘Fun’. My idea of fun today was a 65.5km (40 mile) bike ride with friends 🙂 Recently training has felt very difficult and I haven’t enjoyed it, so it was nice to go out for a ride instead of running! I’ve been just about managing to get on top...

Last long run before Brighton

Here is today’s IDEAfit photo a day image to fit with the theme of ‘gratitude’. I am so grateful that I’ve got the most amazing husband. We’ve lived together for almost 16 years and I still think he’s (almost) perfect. Plus he takes me on dates to the ice-cream parlour! I’ve been a bit negative recently, but I’m trying to...

Fresh

Here is my IDEAfit photo a day image for March 27th: Fresh. I toyed with the idea of joining the Lordshill social run this evening, but was so tired that I thought I’d be better off spending a bit of time organising at home and going to bed early. I decided that tidying up would help me to feel less...

My first visit to Brighton

Today I needed to go to Brighton to present at a conference. I’ve wanted to go there for so long, but I was expecting my marathon visit to be my first visit. The train journey was comfortable and uneventful and it was just a short walk from the station to the Brighton Centre. I didn’t get to see much of...

Goal

Here is today’s IDEAfit photo a day image with the theme ‘goal’: In January, I decided that I wanted to find an amazing brand to work with. I was utterly astounded to find that I had been chosen to be a brand ambassador for SOAS. Today, I received a fantastic parcel of kit from them. It’s so awesome that it’s...

No more marathons

Here is today’s IDEAfit photo a day image to go with the caption ‘style’: Reasons not to sign up for the next race I thought this blog post from Girls Gone Sporty on ‘Reasons not to sign up for the next race’ was particularly apt for how I’m feeling now. (link currently broken). Essentially, the arguments against signing up for...

Inspiration and Eastleigh 10k

Here is today’s IDEAfit photo a day image: The topic is ‘Inspiration’ and these two are some of the most inspirational people I’ve ever met. (N.B. The photo isn’t mine – I think it was taken by a member of the Embrace Sports team). I’m also continuing the theme of sharing one of the Team SOAS Brand Ambassador’s images each...

Goodbye to Paphos!

Water is the theme of today’s IDEAfit photo a day image: After another late night, I woke before 6am and decided that I might as well get up as I had plenty of things to do. I packed as many of my possessions as I could before putting on my running kit. When I walked downstairs at 6:25am, I was...

iPads, Coffee and Cake – presentation day in Paphos, Cyprus

20th March Here is today’s IDEAfit photo a day image for the theme ‘Bold’ – it’s the brave female triathletes who I went on holiday with in November. Note that the lads weren’t brave enough to get into the pool!!! I woke before my alarm went off at 6:30am, having had a disturbed night. I think I’m not used to...

Disappointed by the infinity pool

Thursday was my first full day in Paphos (Cyprus). I got up bright and early, ready to go out for a run with Fiona. I was excited about the good weather and the opportunity to explore… and was also enjoying the fact that there was no pressure on me to run fast as Fiona hasn’t run for a little while....
