Welcome to 2023

 Welcome to January, and welcome to the adventures of 2023! There is a lot going around about 'new year new me', and 'lets make this my year', but this year I'm just going to focus on doing what i do best, working hard, living life, taking on challenges and enjoying the journey! 




2023 starts with some plant care and getting back into the swing of the morning routine and kicking in the workouts. I did my first early morning run in a while and got out to enjoy the peace and the quiet before the bustle of the day, first day back at work fell on the Tuesday too and despite the busyness it felt good to get back into a pattern, not that i really spent a lot of the Christmas break not doing things. 



 The rest of the working week went by, and so did the evening and morning tasks, I started some focus on my study days a new task as I progress through 2023 and did some work on strength as well as ticking off the days of Red January. Roll around to the weekend and I took on my last run session for a few days as i get ready to get a new tattoo added to the collection. A 5k time trial with a twist, i set a playlist for a little less that my current 5k time and then headed out with a plan to beat the playlist, setting it so it doesn't shuffle, making it easier to track the songs and turning off the replay function so when it gets to the last song it stops gave me a good target to hit in order to complete the 5k before the end of the last song. I managed to hit the 5k mark by about 36 minutes, pretty good for a 38 minute playlist! 

The rest of the weekend plans are to get a new bit of ink, take down the last of the decorations, work on some baking and cooking and complete my first yoga session as well  as some other odd bits. 

I have made some plans for badges and next weekend we are taking on an exciting challenge of our first race of the year! 

So I'm going to wrap it up there and check in next weekend, so....

thanks for reading,

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...
