Pink Tape

a blog from the family bar

now just do that again three more times….

ok – made it round a 3 1/2 mile quite hilly loop last night, although not without a few walking breaks. 42 mins…I wasn’t on best form and when I got back I looked like my head was going to explode BUT its the furthest I’ve gone so far, the longest time I’ve been out [...]

Training Continues

Body Balance last night instead of pilates – hokey but knackering. Today repeated the 3 mile run but managed to complete the first 20 mins with no stops at all, which is a major achievement (thanks to Ollie who kicked me up the last hill). Hopefully on our next run we will increase the distance. . [...]

wowzer

Just back from a 3 mile run. I feel great. Very pleased to have achieved that – now I only have to work up another 10 miles on that achievement to make it round the course!…I also now know I run better after eating – went out at 9.30pm tonight (very peaceful) a couple of [...]

going great guns

FEELING GOOD!! tuesday - jog around poet’s walk and one lap salthouse fields 25mins plus one hour dog walk, wednesday – pilates, thursday – jog around poet’s walk and TWO laps salthouse fields 25 mins…swimming tomorrow! Maybe I should also reduce my intake of chocolate muffins? post script – what a brilliant gadget. I knew this would be [...]

oops

well, a combination of moving house on Friday and a lack of a babysitter has put paid to any idea I had to swim or run this week. All the packing and unpacking coupled with managing the baby on my own whilst the other half is away have left me completely knackered. I have managed no more [...]

Why Women's Aid?

I’m raising money for Women’s Aid through attempting the Bristol Half Marathon in September. Want to know a bit more about them? . Women’s Aid is a national charity which co-ordinates and supports a network of over 370 local domestic violence organisations, providing over 500 refuges, helplines, outreach services and advice centres. They work in partnership with [...]

a famous 15 mins

ok 15 mins jogging isn’t much but I’ve been painfully edging towards it for a couple of weeks. Afew days ago 15 mins solid jogging with no stops and today the same but I covered a lot more ground in that time. In my terms that’s a real achievement, but goodness only knows how I’m [...]

The Training Begins

I use the word training loosely – a ten minute jog on day one almost caused an aneurism, and coupled with the need to breastfeed the baby before I had even caught breath. I’m now managing to find time to jog a couple of times a week with the dog while the other half watches the sprog, [...]

Bristol Half Marathon Attempt

Anyone who knows me  thinks I am out of my mind – I am allergic to exercise and I’ve just had a baby. The explanation lies in the fact that in truth promising the world at large that I WILL DO THIS is the only way to force myself to exercise and lose the baby weight. [...]

  • About

    A blog in which I ricochet from too serious to too flippant, and alternate between a bit clever, a bit interesting and a bit ranty: Pink Tape neatly functions as both a blog about family law and a therapeutic escape valve for me. >>more
