So, I hate to admit defeat with the Couch To 5k. I can’t do it. Not because of my ability but because it causes a lot of pain. I thought the pain was because it was something new, and the pain would get better with time. However, three weeks in and my ankle and calfContinue reading “Monday 29th March”

Sunday 28th March
Well, what can I say about today? Today was awful! Such a stressful day. It started with my drive to work when I almost got into an accident because someone didn’t give way to me at the roundabout. Then, work… stressful AF! Today was my shift, I was the duty manager today. Half hour intoContinue reading “Sunday 28th March”
Monday 22nd March
Today I hurt. I woke up unmotivated for exercise today. Tired and exhausted. All noted in my earlier post. Me and and my sister went for our run but it didn’t really happen if I’m honest. My sister has hurt her knee and so she had to stop, and I just wasn’t feeling it. Instead,Continue reading “Monday 22nd March”
No Motivation
Morning all! So I felt like I need to write this morning because I have zero motivation to do today’s Couch to 5k run. None at all. I feel completely exhausted. I feel like I have no energy whatsoever, and it feels daunting to do the run, then to go to work this afternoon. IContinue reading “No Motivation”
Sunday 21st March
Day off, chilled day – mostly a rest day other than cheerleading session. I didn’t sleep very well last night, it must have been about 6/7am before I fell asleep. I woke up around 9.30am but didn’t get out of bed until about 11.30. I just didn’t want to get out of bed. I hadContinue reading “Sunday 21st March”
19th March -week 2/run 2
Today has been a bit of a busy day. I started off with a counselling appointment which was so good. It felt really good to be able to have a bit of a rant and complain. It was refreshing. After counselling I went and did the couch to 5k run with my sister. Today wasContinue reading “19th March -week 2/run 2”
Week 2 Run 1
Today we did the first run of week 2 of Couch to 5K. And it went quite well. We’ve managed to get the local village hall to do our runs in for the time being. It helps my sister, she’s not anxious as there’s nobody around and it’s just us. It also helps me toContinue reading “Week 2 Run 1”
Monday 15th March – Run #3
Today was run 3, the final run of the first week of Couch to 5k. It was a really tough run today. We struggled quite a lot. It was cold. The lake we run around was really busy with people, and me and my sister became very self conscious. My sister didn’t want to carryContinue reading “Monday 15th March – Run #3”
March 14th 2021
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! And thoughts to those that have a struggling relationship with their mums, those whose mums aren’t here any longer, or just anybody that struggles with Mother’s Day in general; I understand it because I struggle with this day too. I’ve had a lovely day off workContinue reading “March 14th 2021”
5k so far
Today was the second run following the app. And since this is a new blog I’ll start with how we have found starting the runs. The first one was tough, especially for my sister (T). T hasn’t done any exercise in over 10 years, so this is harder for her than me, I have someContinue reading “5k so far”
