Exercise and Kids
Getting your child to help you out at home can be challenging. I know that Adam really enjoys getting his toys out but is reluctant in putting them away! Adam is only three so I need to remind myself to not be too hard on him but having simple rules in place is essential for the future. +
Events
On Saturday I took part in a very tough, snow filled Durham parkrun. I was there to support Paul Smith, he was celebrating his 50th Birthday and 100 parkruns. +
12 Days of Christmas
…and what have you done? Another year over and a new one just begun. Great lyrics from John Lennon and I thought it would be a great start for my 12 Days of Christmas summary. +
12 Days of Christmas
With my challenge complete, I was delighted to see the local papers had taken an interest in my challenge again. +
Health
I’ve always had sensitive skin and in the winter months my skin is always very dry. I suffered with really bad eczema when I was a kid so I’ve always had a moisturising routine in place from an early age. +
Nutrition
I discovered I had a cow’s milk allergy a couple of years ago so I’ve been dairy-free ever since. At first, it was difficult. You wouldn’t believe the amount of things I was eating that had milk in it. I didn’t think I could do it until I discover the freefrom aisle in my local supermarket. +
12 Days of Christmas
12 days and 60 miles done!
It was my last run today and we completed 6.6 miles from the Drum Industrial Estate to my home to celebrate 12 Drummers Drumming. A very big thank-you again to John, Peter, Ross, Martin and Stephen for supporting me. Also thanks to Miller who joined us halfway. +
12 Days of Christmas
Couldn’t believe my eyes went I saw this on our doorstep mat this afternoon! Utterly amazing and I’m so grateful to the Durham Advertiser for featuring my story on the cover. +
12 Days of Christmas
11 days down, only 1 to go! 53.4 miles down, only 6.6 to go!
I can’t believe I only have one day left to run. Today’s was a lovely 2.5 miles from my home to the pipe stall in Durham Market. My support today was Ross, Val and my mate Miller. Thanks again guys! Chris (Miller) had planned to run the 2.5 miles on the 7th day but was ill so I was over the moon he could make it today. +
12 Days of Christmas
10 days down, 2 to go! 50.9 miles down, 9.1 to go!
I now have single figure miles to run and what a great feeling it is. Todays run was tough, very tough. Martin was fantastic today, he kept me going. I forgot how many banks were involved in this run and it sucks the energy out of you. We made our way to Lord Hire Centre in Durham to celebrate 10 Lords Leaping. We got our photo taken and then had to make our way back! +
