Buggy Mums, parkrun, JPCC and a sundae

Buggy Mums, parkrun, JPCC and a sundae @ParkLivesSoton #fitmums #lovecycling

Wednesday was a rainy day, but that didn’t stop me from going along to Buggy Mums. I knew that Christine would have planned a session that would keep us moving and I wasn’t wrong. Unsurprisingly, we were a small group of just 7 people today, but that didn’t make it any less fun. One brave lady came along for the first time despite the weather. We kept moving around the Common, stopping in various…

Starting Pilates

Starting Pilates - my review of @ParkLivesSoton new class @SouthamptonCom3 #pilates

I’d hoped to get my week off to a good start with a swim, but after getting home late on Sunday evening, there was a lot of organising that needed to be done yesterday 😦 However, today turned into a very good day… First up was a new class: pilates. I’ve done pilates a few times before with varying success. The first time I tried was at Bournemouth Uni. The teacher was lovely, but young and…

Hello again! I feel like I’m finally getting back on top of things, so here’s a round-up of my week… Saturday – Volunteering at parkrun For the second week in a row, I was a volunteer at parkrun – this time as a Run Director. Because of building works, we’re currently on an alternative route at Southampton parkrun that starts near to The Cowherds pub. I quite like Run Directing with this start as…

Back on track for a spring marathon

Back on track for a spring marathon: @parklivessoton @ABPMarathon #marathon #loverunning #fitmum

Time is passing so quickly these days. There is so much that I want to blog about and never enough time! I had intended to go to Buggy Mums on Thursday last week, but the weather forecast was very bad. I knew that the venue (Weston Shore) is quite exposed, so I really dithered about whether to go or not – in the end I didn’t go as I thought it wouldn’t be fair on Baby M. I felt disappointed about…

Training with my baby

Training with my baby: @ParkLivesSoton #buggyfit #buggymums #fitmoms #loverunning

Today I went to my first ever Buggy Mums session. I’ve been looking forward to it ever since I learnt about its existence in November. It’s run by ParkLives, which is an initiative by CocaCola to bring free sports activities to city parks across the UK. It fantastic that I can exercise with M (instead of leaving her at home with Stu as that’s only an option outside of his working hours) and even…

ParkLives Manchester: Walking Workout (Week 1)

ParkLives Manchester: Walking Workout (Week 1)

Now the small boy has gone back to school I have a bit more time on my hands to do things for me. This week I’ve re-started the 5:2 diet, something I did last year which worked for me, but then I was poorly and never got back into it. Another thing I’m trying to do is take more exercise. I’m back swimming again, which makes me happy, and after I’d spotted the “Walking Workout” on the ParkLives…

ParkLives Manchester - Stay and Play at the park

ParkLives Manchester – Stay and Play at the park

Last week we visited our local park – Fletcher Moss in Didsbury and took part in one of the ParkLives Manchester activities “Roaming Rangers“. We’d had a lot of fun and as soon as we got home we booked ourselves in for another activity, this time “Park Fun Stay & Play”.

We arrived in good time and we met the Stay and Play leaders down at the Bug Hotel. There is a little area which has been set…
