Wrapping up the year and getting ready for 2023.

 Just a quick post to check in and wish you all a very happy new year!  The last few days have been focused on getting some moving and running in, having a good sort out ahead of the new year and getting some studying done for my SENCO course, I have also spent some time getting myself in the right head space and organised for some big changes in 2023.  Now I dropped the new year new me a while a go and I am not claiming 2023 as my year, because years come and go, and starting new things in January is a stupid idea, when basically it just makes sense to keep moving forward, and this is something I'm going to spend more time doing, just keeping on moving forward, because if you don't, you stop, and if you stop, you don't make progress .  So 2023 will see me continuing the following;  Working on my blog,  focusing on my routine to be the best i can be,  developing my running skills and personal skills  and continuing to work towards managing the ski...

It's been a couple of weeks.....

 Hi guys,  Jess here and it has been a few weeks since i have checked in! 3 weeks after the start of feeling Ill and I am in a much better place with my health! I mean I am still ill with a few symptoms and sniffles but I did actually manage to get out for a run today!  So this Blog is actually going to be a short one, the last couple of weeks have been resting, recovering and getting ready for Christmas, so I just wanted to take the chance to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year and I will check in with you closer to the new year after hopefully a week of adventures!  Thanks for reading,  Scribble back,  Jessie xxx 

Still ill.....but i got my new book!!

 Hi guys Jess here,  and as the title of this blog states, I'm still Ill. It is now sitting on my chest and in my sinuses, I'm hoping this means its the end, but as I have still be battling the symptoms it has meant another week of no running or cycling, or any workouts for that matter other that a short stretch.  This week started off with fatigue then quickly turned to lungs full of what felt like tar, generally the mornings are worse that the evenings, but the hardest battle is the pain in my throat and ears! I'm still on just about everything hoping to kick it and trying to get rest and take it easy, the down side is I'm also constantly exhausted, so where i should have had days off to do festive things i was instead just lounging around feeling sorry for myself, although we did go to the secret speakeasy party, mostly because we had already paid for the tickets and secondly because it wasn't a party party, it was a sit down and listen to chilled music kinds par...

The start of the festive challenge and a week of no running......

Hiya guys Jess here,  This week didn't go to plan, it was suppose to be a week of smashing out training, starting the festive challenge and getting to the Christmas work event, instead it was a week of a back injury and then a cold, flu lurgy type thing......  So the start of the week went well, till i realised part way though Monday that I have pulled a muscle somewhere in my back, either the top or the bottom, all i know is it hurt the whole left side of my back and triggered my sciatic nerve... that derailed the first half of the week, its mostly gone now with just the occasional twinge but i spent the last 11 years of my life battling on going back pains, aches and niggles, its just part of my life.  come the second half of the week and everyone at work is coming down with all i can describe as is the flu, that really snotty, chesty, lurgy that make you feel like utter crap! With most the team being hit by it and not feeling well we postponed the Christmas party in pl...
