Photo by Fancycrave.com on Pexels.com I like to think that I’m not one to be easily ‘pigeonholed’ (that sounds like a euphemism but I promise you it’s not!)

SUNDAY 10K🏅 . Another 10K in the bag👍🏼 for me and runny buddy @amyelizabethwillis . A lovely fresh, crisp start to December and a great run through the forest where Robin Hood and his merry men once trod. 🏹. . Thank you to all the organisers and brilliant volunteers who gave up their Sunday sleep to help a bunch of batty people run through mud and ice 😂 at the Edwinstowe 10K . #edwinstowe10k #running #sundaymotivation #womenwhorun
Rear View . That little dot in the distance is my husband speeding ahead and leaving me behind. 🤨 . It wasn’t long though before I caught him up and passed him as he puffed and ran out of gas 😂 . Never underestimate the pedal power of a woman 💪🏼🤣 . #offroad #gravelbike #cyclinglife #womenwhocycle #howweliv #livbikes #fitforlife #plantbased #womanpower #pedalpower
🐶Trip Hazard . . Does anyone know of a Health & Safety seminar for dogs? 🤓🐕 . Today’s running buddy needs a few tips on how to run in a straight line and not be so intent on tripping me up! 🤣 . Today’s Run /Walk intervals were very nearly Run /Face-plant intervals! 💩 . He was great company though in the absence of my usual running buddy @amyelizabethwillis . All ready for Sunday’s 10K 👍🏼 . . #running #10ktraining #runningbuddies #runningbuddy🐶 #triathlontraining #trailrunning #plantbasedtriathlete #dogoftheday #fitness #gettingfit #stayingfit #joboruns #tnbc #wrinklestwinkles
Guinea Piggy 🐷 . A very interesting morning at Lincoln Uni in the Human Performance Sports & Science dept. I was all hooked up and looking every bit the pro cyclist 😀. . Unfortunately, I was pretty pathetic 😓 but at least I tried 🤣 . And now I have something to work from /towards 💪🏼 . . A really interesting and informative morning with a great team. Friendly, helpful and professional. Thank you everyone. 👏. Always happy to be the guinea pig 🐷😀 . . #sports #cycling #triathlontraining #fitforlife #plantbasedtriathlete #humanperformance #lincolnuniversity #guineapig #tnbc #sportscenter #thisgirlcan #womenwhocycle
🍂Autumn Leaves 🍁 . . The rain held off and another 10K in the bag. 👍🏼 . My running buddy @amyelizabethwillis and I seem to be lucky with the cloud dodging. . . Unfortunately, we’re not so good at mud & puddle avoidance but it all adds to the fun. . . #running #10k #womensupportingwomen #womenwhorun #tri #triathlontraining #nevertoolate #nevertooold #tnbc #chasingrainbows #trailrunning #trailrunner #womenover60 #activelifestyle

Training Update

Well. in all my infinite wisdom, I have signed up my 61 year old body and that of my 66 year old husband for TWO TRIATHLONS next year! Training will commence in earnest in February 2019 but until then, we aim to try and get ourselves off the settee and rid of the winter belly with a little bit of pre-training training. Watch this space!

I’m currently looking for some fashion ideas for women who, like me, have opted to go flat and not have a rebuild after Breast Cancer surgery. If this would be of any interest, let me know what you think  x
