Who knew adult life was partly about getting excited about having deep cleaned the whole house, cooked dinner, attended a laser clinic appointment AND done a 10km tempo run all by midday on a Saturday morning.

Then again, if only I was this organised every Saturday...

Let this sink in: 20 minutes of DOING something is better and more valuable than 20 hours of THINKING about doing something.

A few minutes getting up from your desk is better than sitting down all day.

Something is better than nothing (most of the time...there are exceptions).

(Working on that front squat: Changed the grip today, which stopped the back arch I usually get when I increase weights. Depth is another piece on the list!)

All set and ready for tomorrow’s long run. Can’t wait to run to this week’s bakery of choice 👀 . This week’s been a really good week: hit some training goals and my clients have been making so many cool forms of progress beyond the surface level kind.

Now let’s see what tomorrow’s run holds. Fingers crossed the weather holds out please

Carbe diem 🙏🏻

I 100% believe that burpees were 100% purposefully designed to discriminate against tall people.

And let’s not forget about American kettlebell swings.

Oh, and squats.

Heck, let’s just say CrossFit in general. But we keep on showing up 😅

Any other tall people feel the same?

Another long run route favourite in the bag for this bank holiday weekend 🤟🏾.

This time, I used @wearelupa and @trainm8 ‘s half marathon session to help me maintain my pace on the route. I found it really helpful having someone telling me when to run faster, throwing in random pop culture facts, and also some mindfulness exercises on the run.

Have you used @wearelupa yet? What’s been your favourite session?

“Describe your perfect date”, he asked.

She said: “that’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot and it’s not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.”

Bonus points to gryffindor if you can name the film 😉. Bonus points to @brooksrunninguk for also creating a really lightweight and breathable jacket for these slightly warmer days 👌
(Is it acceptable to use that quote a day late? 🤔)

Home is where it’s warm and cozy and brings up that fuzzy feeling.

Step outside home, and you feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar.

Dig deep, this is where your growth is. Discomfort = growth.

Let me tell you I was way out of my comfort zone with this barbell complex. SO rusty and tekkers laughably non existent.

The more consistent you are with being in that discomfort zone, you’ll grow and soon it’ll become an area of comfort, a part of home.

Excited about finally getting my eyebrows done by someone else other than me.

Though one thing I’ve not missed is the conversation with my eyebrow lady as I’m called up for my turn:

Her:“....and upper lip?”
me “no I’m good”
her: “...are you sure? 👀 “

Not just me... I hope?

I know this week was another 4 day week in UK, but did anyone else feel like it was the longest week ever?!
