It was going so well until....

Welcome to post one, well two for this week. I'll be honest I haven't really thought about how often I'll post or exactly what I'll post or what it's going to look like 🤔 but I know that I'm generally going to be posting about my adventures through life, running and everything else......I'll probably aim for at least one post a week? But throw in other adventures as and when I do them.

So adventure one, my long run, nothing special really other than the fact I stacked it, literally hit the deck, came down to earth with a literal crash!

I mean the knee is the worst......

...although the hand looks bad...

But I managed to clean myself up on route...

And I'm all bandaged up now!

So what happened....if I'm honest, I don't actually know, but what I do know is about 30-40 seconds before impact I was in a good spot, everything felt good on the run, my legs worked, chest good, form feeling fine, literally in a good running flow! Then it's like the universe decided "let's put a stop to that" and yanked me back down to earth, literally.

I either caught my foot or tripped on something, the knee and the hand are the worst bits and I'll be honest I think the clean up was worse that the shower, but I'm patched up and dosed up on pain meds and all that's left is to ice the knee to reduce any swelling.

The run itself though was really good, nice pace great views and a good recon session for potential future plans, all in all (other than the crash) a good session. Although I still feel very unprepared for next week's adventure.....seriously brutal....but more on that next week.

Anyway, I'm gonna leave it there,
Thanks for checking in,
Scribble back xx
Love Jessie

Solo bike ride and Squirrels

Hey guys, Welcome back to the adventure blog! A weekly Blog where I share with you my adventures through sports, fitness, life and everything in between! This week I want to share my first solo bike ride, well it's sort of my first solo bike ride. Okay so background check, its not my first time riding solo on a bike, I use to do it to and from work, and I've been round the park several times on my own, and growing up back home I was always out on the bike, but this was my first solo bike ride that was just a bike ride, not a commute, but a self navigated bike ride, on a road bike, by myself. I am not as confident a cyclist as i was growing up, but growing up I always stuck to paths or trails and there were a lot less cars, where I live now is busier for cars and I generally try to stay off the path unless its a cycle path, this has meant working my way through building my confidence on a bike. Chris has taken me out on several bike rides, some long ones som...

Wind down week and keeping plants alive......

Double post this weekend guys! (only just got round to posting my Halloween one) This week has been a mostly chilled one with a week of lighter work outs and more rest before I kick start my first hard week of three, I'm going to be following a three weeks on one week off system, so 3 weeks of harder efforts and then an easier week, the easier week will still have runs and rides, just a lower intensity. This week I have also been working on my plants, I dropped a small fortune on plant care stuff, pots and an orchid but I finally have everything i need to complete my indoor gardener badge, so all i have to do now is keep them alive till January.... If you're wondering what i am on about talking about badges, I am working through the Rebel Badge book a book that gives you tasks to do to earn badges much like scouts or guides but for adults! Its a fun little book with a great community around it. So one expensive shopping trip and a huge mess later I have all...

Where did my baby go?

(contains amazon associates link) Hey guys, it's been a while! My last post was a little before my return to work, were are now half way through 2025! So where are we? Well little man isn't so little, at 16 months he is in full blown toddler hood, we walk, run, climb, scream, babble, and have super sass (gets that from me), we get frustrated at not being able to do things but want to be into doing everything! He has been at nursery for about 7 months now and has fully settled in found his confidence and loves every day! We have had our fair share of illnesses, accidents and art work and we are currently preparing for the transition to the next room. As for me, I've settled into being a Mama and a Teacher, I've reflected on my life and started making adjustments, I have also had my fair share of illnesses (though not as many as the boy) and I'm surviving, not quite thriving, but getting closer to the threshold. What have we been up to? Lately? trying t...
