    #Juneathon Day 20 – Sensible Gem

    Being sensible sucks. After being pummelled yesterday my back is much looser, but still very stiff. I did 20 minutes of Yoga this morning, and then spent the next 2 hours trying to decide whether I was fit to do Roller Derby practice today. Ultimately seeing as I can’t tie my shoelaces without help, I…

    #Juneathon Day 19 – Sports Massage Mk II

    Even I’M bored of reading my posts this Juneathon. Although daily Yoga is technically exercise, and therefore technically counts, well, it’s not very interesting is it? Hello, I did some Yoga, here’s a picture of my feet. Well, today I did do some Yoga, I felt pretty awesome this morning. Then I sat down to…

    #Juneathon Day 18 – Sweaty Skate

    Soo, obviously I started my day with Yoga, then I did more Yoga before Roller Derby practice, then I went to Roller Derby practice to get bashed around for 3 hours. I thought I’d write todays post late so I could get more interesting photos than my bare feet on a Yoga mat, except I…

    #Juneathon Day 17 – Running Through Treacle

    Not literally, that would be gross. I started today with the now traditional “ouch I’ve laid still all night better do some” yoga, and then, as my back has been feeling a little less stuff proceeded to spend the whole day sat still trying to catch up on some work. Leading to it now feeling…

    #Juneathon Day 16 – Motivation’s What You Need

    I was REALLY keen to get back to doing some proper resistance exercise today, like really keen. I swear I can actually feel myself turning into a lump of jelly after 10 days doing not much. Stupid back is still stupid stiff, especially in the mornings, but it shows no sign of getting much better…

    #Juneathon Day 15 – Double Hic

    I’m hiccing now, but I was not at all hiccy when I got up this morning. I’ll be honest I had an appalling night. I was awake for a good 2 hours after I went to bed. Trying every available position to sleep in and finding none of them comfortable I hurled myself out of…

    #Juneathon Day 14 – Preparing for #WeRunLondon

    After yesterdays exertions (oh yes, in yesterdays tipsy post I failed to mention my new PB of 28.5 laps in 5 minutes at Roller Derby, woo!) I woke up super stiff again, but 20 minutes of Yoga and some time with my spiky massage ball soon had me moving again, and I decided to go…

    #Juneathon Day 13 – Hic

    Yeah, I should have taken proper photos and posted this earlier, but I didn’t. I woke up stiff, but feeling a lot better, so after 20 minutes of *cough* yoga, I headed off to Roller Derby Practice Roller Derby practice on saturday always starts with circuit training. Todays was a little impromptu, 15 minutes of…

    #Juneathon Day 12 – Two Right Feet

    I WENT FOR A RUN! I made it through 3 hours of Roller Derby last night, and my back only started to get painful in the last 20 minutes or so, but it was pretty distracting and I was on the verge of tears when I got home. Half pain, half disappointment because my performance…
