Once, long ago a valiant, sleepy warrior goddess challenged her greatest foe… Miraculously, despite her lack of sleep and general feeling of Friday morning… she won!! Ok I’ll stop taking about myself in the third person now and get on with it! That is a fairly accurate rendition of what happened though… I decided that…… Continue reading Project 44: day 17 Sam vs the viking press…
Project 44: Day 10 if mermaids had legs…
If mermaids had legs and could deadlift they might well have looked like me at the gym this morning… They might have been as tired too…I imagine it is hard work being a newly land roaming mermaid! I however was just tired because I didn’t have enough sleep… Still I made it to the gym,…… Continue reading Project 44: Day 10 if mermaids had legs…

Juneathon day 7: Gym and walk
Today started in the gym… which is unusual for a Thursday… I met my friend Jeanette and we did squats, and sled pushes and kettlebell sumo squats and slams… it was awesome š When lunchtime rolled around, I decided it would be wise to walk rather than run, mainly because getting changed at work is…… Continue reading Juneathon day 7: Gym and walk
Juneathon day 5: deadlifts. running and a lovely pot!
First thing this morning I did a lot of deadlifts!!
