Live life on the wild side

 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 

 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...

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...

Hey guys, Welcome back to the Blog!  This week's adventure sees us visit the ock street fair, usual work stuff, dinner, a show and a Sunday bike ride date for coffee.  The fair lasts just two days and runs the whole length of Ock street in Abingdon, officially called the Michaelmas fair it is the longest street fair in Europe. It comes round every year and being residents of ock street it is right outside our door, two evenings of fun fair food, treats and walks up and down, as well as late nights due to the noise and later morning starts to make up the sleep.  We usually go on the waltzers but this year I wasn't really feeling it so we mostly just took a wander, got some food and treats and chilled with some TV, the cold I spent most the previous weekend fighting off hadn't gone, and even as I write this now a week later its still not fully gone, but its nearing the end.  The rest of the week wasn't really much different to normal, in fact the only change really was...

 Hi guys Jess here,  This week I haven't really been up to anything too exciting, I've been working on sticking to a usual wake up routine as part of my recovery from brutal, and taking care of my plants. Dave needed a lot of TLC this week.  Most the week has just been the usual week of work, commuting with the chaotic traffic (although I have been really bad at taking the bus instead of walking), a run with my friend and just keeping up on general life.  I was super excited for this weekend with plans to go to Park run while Chris raced down in London and then a Sunday morning coffee date ride. However my immune system had other ideas.  As the weather changed along came the coughs, colds, and general sniffles, I don't normally get hit with these till later in the year (occupational hazard) but I think the over hanging fatigue of brutal knocked down my immune system quicker, so this weekend I have been fighting of a cold that's been threatening since about Wedne...
