the 'ol algo might hate me for it, but it's my feed and I'll post text if I want to 😅 ...you know the end of the year is nigh when top 9's starting cluttering your feed (...I'm prepared for the annual tsuami 🌊) and spotify starts trying to convince you that Beyonce is the artist you've listended to most in what can only be described one hell of a year!

In 2020, I've purchased a mini mixer, a head mic, too many cables to detail, soft boxes, zoom subscription, vimeo subsription, timetabnle / booking software... all at a time when I had no work... but I wanted to turn up.

And turn up I did... with the help of all the people who "bought me a coffee"... (you can now buy me a bottle of @marksandspencer mulled wine on my @kofi_button 'cos I'm trying to get in the xmas spirit!

Anyway, huge shout out to everyone working in the fitness industry... whether you took your 'ish online or not. Whether you headed straight back to bricks and mortar when BoJo allowed...

Shout out to everyone who's supported the at home, zoom waving, can you hear me, fitness classes too! Supporting us little indies, studios, whoever... the industry thanks ya and loves ya (it told me so).

but mate... we've almost made it.

Building myself back up slowly but surely so I can

Building myself back up slowly but surely so I can finally (successfully) tick off couch to 5k! Today, I ran week 6 run 1... the intervals were a nice break after the 20min non stop run on Sunday.

Considering my legs were tired after racing on Zwift yday and running Sunday, my pace wasn't too bad - so I'm calling this in, and celebrating it as a win for the couch to 5k bingo challenge!

The bingo card is still available in my @kofi_button shop - you can play anytime you like and I've also added a version 2.0 to keep us going! It's free (you can donate if you wish to) and I still have some prizes to dish out if you wanna get involved 😝

If I stay on track I should complete couch to 5k around xmas day - so I'm gonna miss parkrun more than ever this year! xmas day and NY day parkrun were becoming an annual tradition for me 😅

What traditions are you gonna be upholding this crimbo to help hold onto a sense of normality?!

I went down to the woods yday... which looks just like my local Epping Forest, but this was a little further afield in Broxbourne Woods.

I wasn't feeling like moving yday (days 1-3 of Shark Week 🦈❌💦 does that to me) but I put on my big girl period pants, drove out to Waltham Forest then rode 10 miles to the woods and back again with @its_jus__tay 💥who rode all the way from SE London!

Did I feel better for it?! 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘶𝘳!

I was actually planning on staying indoors and completing Zwift Academy with workout 8, but knowing how little I actually leave the house, I decided it was better to get out and get some fresh air even if "𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺" for 10 miles.

What's getting you out and about right now?! @project.hb shared her morning walk for coffee with me and it's inspired me to find reasons to get outside daily...

Todays run was bit of a struggle at the end but then I remembered that my "slow" is someone else's PB and someone else's slow can blow my PB out the water 💥 ...I got out, and I got the run done. W5R2 of my return to couch to 5k... keeping a 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 2 runs per week for 2.5 weeks now, and THAT IS A WIN 🎉

Here's some of the latest on the (freshly updated, very beautiful if I may so say myself) blog:

▶️ Managing Knee Pain When Running & Cycling by @moactive_therapy
▶️ Easy Chickpea, Mushroom & Spinach Curry by @nourishbyrebecca which makes a perfect midweek meal (vegan)
▶️ Cooper Run Test – 12min Aerobic Fitness Test to help you benchmark your running fitness!

AAaaaaaand, Couch to 5k Bingo will be continuing through December! The 2.0 bingo card is ready and waiting... if you have any ideas for challanges to add, drop 'em in the comments...

#AD Remember your first... tattoo?! I think I had wanted one for yuuuurrs but couldn't decide what to get, then, on my first trip to Miami about 8 years ago I just went for it 😝 ...since then though, every tattoo has had significant meaning; the owl on the back of my lower leg 🦉 which symbolises my mum, or the quote "and this too shall pass" on my inner arm to make sure I always remember!

Bepanthen Tattoo Intense Care Ointment is a NEW product launch which contains trusted ingredients to help keep tattooed skin looking healthy and feeling good. It forms a transparent layer which lets the skin breathe as well containing Provitamin B5 which helps support the skin’s natural regeneration process.

#BepanthenTattooIntenseCareOintment is the No.1 formula recommended by tattoo artists* and is now available at Superdrug.

Follow @Bepanthentattoouk to find out more and share your experiences of tattoo firsts in the comments... 👀 ...no judgement of course lol 😅
