#Juneathon – The Half Hearted Round Up
Well, the curse of Juneathon put me pretty much out of action from day 5 with persistent back pain. I’m wondering if I dare sign up again next year or if on Day 1 I will be hit by a meteor while running a mile around the block. Still, seeing as I’d started it, and…

#Juneathon Day 25 – The Smell of Failure
Well yeah, I know it’s not really failure, I can’t help being injured, but why is it always so hard to take a break? After last Friday’s repeat episode of my back seizing up and my insistence on still running the Nike 10k a couple of days later I finally decided to take the advice…

#Juneathon Day 21 – #WeRunLondon (and Day 22)
Well, I know this one is technically a day late, but yesterday was a long, long day and I figured it wouldn’t hurt to combine 2 days into one! After being sensible Gem on Saturday and resting my back a little, I headed off to London to spend the night in advance of taking part…

#Juneathon Day 20 – Sensible Gem
Being sensible sucks. After being pummelled yesterday my back is much looser, but still very stiff.

Ultimately seeing as I can’t tie my shoelaces without help, I…

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…
