#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…

#Juneathon Day 11 – Guess What I Did?!
That’s right, YOGA! Ha! How did you guess? I did 20 minutes recovery Yoga, and plan to do another 20 minutes of my regular pre practice session later on today. I am still stiff with an achey lower back, but tonight I will be skating anyway, but being aware of how I feel and I…

#Juneathon Day 10 – Finally Moving
One year I will do Juneathon and it won’t consist of me spending most of it explaining how I’ve done something that nearly consitutes exercise because I’ve damaged some random part of myself. In fact, it is now the 2 year anniversary of the day I had to bow out of doing my first Juneathon…

#Janathon Day 9 – Codeine, Bruises and Yoga
Well hello! This morning my back is covered in some rather fetching bruises from my sports massage that look no where near as dramatic in photos as they do in real life, so that’s disappointing. I am, however a little more mobile and could get out of bed without making enough noise to wake the…

#Juneathon Day 8 – My First Sports Massage.
So, today I booked in with a Sports Therapist as recommended by one of my team mates, and went for my first ever sports massage. It was a lot less relaxing than the one I had at Neals Yard once. He suggested my back pain was caused primarily by my quadratus lumborum, if I remember…

#Juneathon Day 7 – effort level 10
Well, yesterday, despite my stiff back was amazing. I watched from the benches as my team the Norfolk Brawds fought their way back from 40 points down with determination and grace to win the first game of their British Champs season by just 6 points scored in the last jam of the game by Political…
