Setting Goals at the End of the Triathlon Season

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I’ve dabbled in triathlon before. I’ve enjoyed writing a series of comedy blogs detailing my adventures in each one, from walking in the bike section (click here to read this one) to getting chased by a dog on the run (or here for that one)! I’m… Read More Setting Goals at the End of the Triathlon Season

A Mini Aquathlon Adventure

A couple of weeks ago I went open water swimming for the first time, which was no small deal! I had to face multiple fears at once (namely swimming, reeds, cold water, sludge and creatures), but came away completely invigorated. You can read about the first time here. Exercise has taught me time and time… Read More A Mini Aquathlon Adventure

I’m not quite sure how it happened, but this morning was one of those runs where everything just came together! 🏃‍♀️ I was feeling so grateful for being able to go to parkrun after a quiet night shift, on a beautiful sunny morning, that I just ran to feel and enjoyed every moment 🌞 And somehow I ran my fastest parkrun since 2017! Not sure how, but I’m over the moon!! ☺️ I can go to bed now, full of parkrun happiness. It makes such a difference on nights when you can slot in a little bit of you-time. . . . #parkrun #parkrunuk #rushcliffeparkrun #parkrunPB #ukrunchat #runr #runhappy #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #womensrunning #triathlontraining #triathlonlife #trilikeagirl #nightvet #nightshiftworker #vetsofinstagram #veterinariansofinstagram #vetlife #teamvet #eccvet #vetschool #thisvetruns
Today’s challenge has been fitting some exercise in around “wedmin”!! If you’ve not heard this term.. it’s used to describe the unexpected amount of admin that comes with planning a wedding 😂 We put our winter gear on and ran 5k to the printers to sign off the proof for the Save The Dates 💒 Two good things ticked off the list before I start nights this evening. . . . #runcommute #ukrunchat #wedmin #wedminwednesday #runr #vetlife #vetsofinstagram #vetsofinsta #triathlontraining #triathlonlife #teamvet #teamvetruns #vetstudent #vetschool #coupleswhoruntogether #weddingplanning #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #thisgirlcanrun #nottinghamrunner #womensrunning
I’m working in a practice today that diverts the phones and shuts up shop for an hour at lunchtime! 😮 Barring emergencies of course, this meant we could actually relax and take a proper break. I can’t believe the difference it made mentally! . I used this protected time to pop my yoga mat down in the consult room and take 20 minutes to do a little yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️ After a long run last night and a double swim/bike the day before my body was crying out for a good stretch. It sounds simple, but taking your breaks really does make a huge difference. It would be great if more workplaces adopted this policy - and speaks volumes about the care for their staff here at this lovely practice ☺️. So nice to say hi to @molthesvn as well halfway through my yoga!! . . #teamvet #veterinarysurgeon #vetsofinsta #vetsofinstagram #vetlife #vetnurse #vetnurselife #vetstudent #yogainspiration #yogapractice #stethoscopedownyogaup #vetyogi #wellvet #beginneryogi #ukrunchat #triathlonlife #pinkscrubs #takeabreak
My BEFORE face, contemplating succumbing to the head torch for the first time this winter.. and getting myself back to run club. I’m finding motivation tough with the dark nights and chilly weather 🥶. . But I DID IT! Motivated by my @wellvetweekend buddy @liz.barton.vet who is encouraging us all to commit to 20 minutes of exercise a day in December. Like an advent calendar (but not as fun). I managed 6.5 miles and ticked off my long run for the week ☺️ Speeding home for pasta bake and a glass of 🍷. Anyone else begrudgingly embraced the season of dark head torch runs? . . . #runr #runhappy #grumpyrunner #ukrunchat #unilite #headtorch #womensrunning #triathletelife #runlikeagirl #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #teamvet #wellvet #wellvetweekend #runclub #beginnertriathlete #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram
Enjoying the winter sun today with a spin on our bikes ☺️ Double session, with swimming at tri club this evening. Training seems to be a bit all or nothing at the moment in between shifts. But it’s better than nothing and nothing! 🏊‍♀️ 🚲 🏃‍♀️ Finding it a real struggle fitting it all in in daylight. Maybe I just need to embrace the head torch 🔦 and suck it up!! . .

Brrr! With night shifts, day shifts and being poorly I’ve not managed much running this week. So it was a real treat to wake up to the most beautiful frost ❄️ Rushcliffe park could not have looked prettier! It might have been chilly, but it was definitely one of the loveliest parkrun’s I’ve done ☺️ It’s a great feeling coming home to a hot bath having been out and done it. . . . #parkrun #parkrunuk #parkrunday #winterrunning #frostymorning #rushcliffepark #rushcliffeparkrun #ukrunchat #runr #runhappy #garminuk #garmingirl #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #runlikeagirl #chillymorning #vet #vetlife #teamvet #vetsofinstagram #teamvetruns
