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

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...

Merry Christmas and here's to 2024

As 2023 comes to an end and the Festivities have been in full swing, I want to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new year. This year has been filled with mini adventures, the challenges of pregnancy, the journey of navigating a new job role and fitting in general health and well being as well. As for 2024 well that is a whole new adventure! In my older years i have never really been one for new years resolutions but i do like the idea of making commitments and agreements with myself, and each year they are usually just things that i want to continue working on to continue to support and improve myself, so rather than giving up chocolate or hitting the gym every day I usually focus on things like, lets make sure i focus on my sleep routine, take on more adventures and make sure i move a little daily. These are normally my big three, there are may things I want to work on and goals come and go, things change and plans get adjusted, fo...

Lets start a new adventure.

This is only the second time I have had to face him crying as I left him. The first made sense, he was overtired and hadn't napped. This one was a different cry, this was a protest because he knew I was going to walk out the door and not be there. This one hurt me. I do however have the benefit of seeing it from both sides, there is a skill to dropping your child off at nursery the first few times, you have to remain calm, confident, make it quick. If you linger too long, look nervous or get upset they pick up on it. Quick drop offs help everyone, parents don't linger and get upset as long, babies are easier to settle and nursery workers get more time bonding. Seeing the sadness hurts though, the cry is different, it hits heart strings you never knew you owned, and you hold back the tears till you're out of view. I cried all the way into town and then some more whilst I ate fried egg on toast. Deep down I know he's fine, I know he will settle and get distracted a...
