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,

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...
