What I’ve been doing

Busy, busy, busy! I’m still managing to exercise, but it’s so difficult for me to find time to blog, which is very frustrating. I thought I’d do a quick summary of what I’ve been up to recently. It includes marshalling a race, attending a Giant store workshop, parkrunning and more. Sunday 22nd January No running for me today. Stuart, baby...

Big round up

It feels like ages since I’ve had a chance to blog. Christmas was hectic and baby M takes up an awful lot of time (who knew it was possible to sit doing nothing but watch a baby for hours!) The good news is that I’m getting back to running after having a baby and it’s fine! Penrose parkrun On Christmas...

Miles of Smiles

The last couple of weeks have been quite busy. Last Monday, I went to STC swimming training as usual. There were quite a lot of us in the session and we had some long sets to swim. I’ve not done enough swimming this year and I’m finding it quite challenging, but I managed to get 2000m done within the hour....

Catching up, CrossFit, Ironman Dublin 70.3, Marafun, stir-fry and Santahampton.

I’ve been so busy recently that I’ve not had enough time to blog. I hope that I can find more time in 2015 – I think that perhaps I need to be more productive in my lunch breaks. As I’m struggling to find enough time, I’m trying to add more frequent social media updates: Twitter: https://twitter.com/tamsynsmith Instagram: http://instagram.com/tamsynmsmith/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fatgirltoironman...

What a glorious feeling, I’m happy again…

We’ve had torrential rain here for the last few days, but things are starting to look positive. There’s even some sunshine on the weather map for tomorrow 🙂 Monday morning The day didn’t start well. Car problems meant that I missed out on the strength and conditioning session that I had been looking forward to. I was so gutted about...

My next project…

This week has been so hectic. On Monday, I was hoping to be able to go running, but I ended up having to get my phone fixed, which took a lot longer than I had hoped. Fortunately, I was able to make the 8pm swimming session. There were just two of us in the slow lane, which was nice. Unfortunately,...

Running – one step at a time: “If you want something doing, do…”

Today’s guest blogger is James from ‘Running – one step at a time‘. I’ve known James for several years now. I met him through parkrun and have witnessed the impact that he has had on my local running community. He loves a new challenge and never seems to sleep! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? I’m almost...

A Triathlete’s Adventure – “Growth occurs beyond your comfort zone”

OK, so I’m trialling a new feature on my blog that I’m hoping will be an equivalent of a Twitter #FF (Follow Friday) – every week, I’d like to highlight someone else’s blog that I read regularly and that I think people who read my blog might enjoy. Please feel free to give me feedback on this idea as well...

I chose to add some extra hills to my bike ride!

On Saturday, I was Run Directing at Southampton parkrun (again), so I didn’t manage to fit a run in. Lots of people have said that the new Route has got great PB potential, so I’m looking forward to trying it out next week. (However, it does feature two hills – well, one hill twice – which I don’t love as...

What have I been doing since my holiday?

I’ve been so busy in the fortnight since we’ve been back from Portugal that I’ve not been able to update my blog as much as I’d hoped. Here’s a quick rundown of what I’ve been up to. CC6 The Sunday morning after we got back was a cross-country race out in the New Forest. It was hard getting up in...
