Teaching has really taken over as I now work in a boarding school (which I love). On the upside I get to coach hockey and take kids out to get muddy. Downside is that my life isn't really my own apart from in the holidays. Need my little support group back to get me back on track. Oh and I had given up tracking miles etc, but think that I might start again.

Hannah T I know exactly how you feel. Trying to fit exercise in and teach is difficult to manage. I'm still trying to find the right balance. I found that I just had to make the time and that being in a team sport meant I was less likely to quit - didn't want to let the team down haha. I hope it's all going well for you :)

Caroline W What is bouldering?!?!?!
Roomi S encouraged this.
Did you ever find out what bouldering was? Just saw your question, thought I'd reply. It's climbing on large boulders/short walls with no ropes, usually with a crash pad underneath you, if you're smart. :} I used to boulder, until I fell twice, crushing a vertebra each time. I guess some people are meant to be less extreme? Have a wonderful day!

Sarah L Today I battled through the South West Snow and ran around an astro pitch for HOURS whilst watching girls trial for JAC ... there were some interesting applicants to be sure. No idea how far I covered (movement appeared to be too small to be picked up by my GPS) but my feet are sore despite the gel inserts in my shoes.

Sarah L asked Horrible feet
OK, this is a fairly new problem for me. I have to admit that I am probably on my feet more now than I have been since I worked in a shop as a teenager. I'm out on the astro coaching hockey for god knows how many hours a week, out playing myself o...

Sarah L Now who has been keeping you under control mister?
It's wet, miserable and I was going to go running, but lunch at the wild garlic was just too tempting instead ;0)
Very impressed that I'm somehow still at #12 recommend me a good challenge for the weekend?
PS: I am NOT injured, repeat NOT injured and haven't been for almost ten weeks now!!! Go me :0)
encouraged this.
If wet is miserable, you're doing it wrong. Come to Rain-but-soon-to-be-snow-donia and I'll show you how it's done. I can't recommend a good challenge. I've not been keeping track of them myself. We've both been MIA. It's good that you've not been injured for ALMOST 10 weeks. Make it 20 and I'll be super happy :D BTW, love the new photie. You're not so pixelated any more! Yay.
Jacqueline S and Naveed I encouraged this.
Wet isn't miserable, miserable is! I like the rain ... it's the thick fog that I can't see through mixed with rain that I don't love! Ummm, I'm still claiming not to be injured, just slightly broken after today's diagnosis of Plantar Fasciitis :0S Pandas are remarkably fragile given their size. Better put the other photo back up then, if people see me unpixelated they might die of terror ;0) You know where I am if you're bored!
Jacqueline S and Naveed I encouraged this.
Oh, poor flat-footed Hobbit panda! You should think about changing your running style—less Godzilla on a terror-filled rampage; more Tinkerbell tip-toeing through a glen. Heel soon (see what I did there?), perpetually-broken one. PS–Keep the photo. It's not as good as the windswept one were you seem to be recreating 80s Nescafé ad, but it good enough.
