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

Birthday bike ride and a declutter

Hey guys, Welcome back to the blog, this weeks adventure was a weekend adventure, mostly around the boys birthday! This week Chris and I celebrated with a birthday bike ride, a short coffee ride before a chill day and the a meal with family. Simple but good fun! We also spent the weekend working on some sorting, for me it has mostly been working through my clothes, keeping what fits and what I wear, and then removing or repurposing what doesn't, it also gave me chance to check what I might want ahead of Christmas, a new coat has gone on the list. Sunday started with a morning run, then the usual cleaning, and tatting about the house while the slow cooker did its thing and then a few hours of Sims. Sims is by far my favourite game because you can just do what ever you want with it, I'm currently working my way through a legacy, I think I'm on the 5th generation of the family? Maybe the 6th, either way it's going fairly well which is pretty good! I suppose th...

Adventuring out for some time in the park

Hey guys, Jessie here, todays blog is a look back over our short adventure in the park for a coffee date with my little man! Living in the flat the first challenge was getting out, not an issue with the use of the sling but with the pushchair it is a whole different ball game. Hubby was on hand but as he is due back at work soon I needed to trial getting me, baby, bag and pushchair all down two flights of stairs. Cue comedic tunes. With a bit of trial and error for where to place the front wheel that needs to come off to fully fold it down and trialling the best way to carry him and it we made it down in one peice! (And following the coffee date back up in one peice) We headed out for a walk around the park followed by a stop in the shade to enjoy some time outside, I picked up this handy little travel picnic blanket on amazon for camping and wanted to test it, it's good for what it is and I can't complain for the size and price. Whilst he rested in the pushchair...

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...
