Pushing through

DIANE IN DENMARK3 Comments

This morning we ran in the park.  As we always do - whatever the weather - three times a week.  For the last four months it's either been raining, snowing, freezing, icy or windy.  We don't really think about it - we just push through.  Today, when we approached the old palace building, my sweetie friend K said (in Danish), "Let's sit down and… Continue reading Pushing through

Scaredy Cat Challenge – Running (Wo)man

Ready for some more picture fun? Okay then. What's the difference between this photo... ...and this one? Give in? Answer: Half an hour and 5 kilometres! 😉 I had a fan-flippin-tastic week of running thanks to a series of changes of plan. We ended up running 5k on Monday and another 5k on Tuesday! The… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – Running (Wo)man

Scaredy Cat Challenge – 14 March 2010 (On Your Marks, Get Set, Go!)

DIANE IN DENMARK2 Comments

You've heard that expression, "The best laid plans..."? Well, that's what happened to last week's running challenge to increase my running speed and distance. My plans didn't only "go awry". Or "gang agley" as it was originally written by Robert Burns, our Scottish national poet, in the poem "To a Mouse". My plans came to a complete STOP. DD7… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 14 March 2010 (On Your Marks, Get Set, Go!)

Scaredy Cat Challenge – 7 March 2010 (On your marks, get set!)

In last Sunday's Scaredy Cat Challenge post, I told you that I'm currently trying to crank up my weekly running distance. Last year I ran two 5k races. This year I'm attempting going to run 10k. "10 in 2010". Sounds catchy, doesn't it? As regulars will already know, I run two to three times a week with my sweetie… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 7 March 2010 (On your marks, get set!)

Pamper Monday – Top Gear

DIANE IN DENMARK2 Comments

Mondays are all about finding new ways to pamper... What's pampering? That's looking after Number One, doing something nice for yourself, recharging your batteries 🙂 It's a major part - nay, keystone - of the Flylady programme. If you're nice to yourself, then you're better equipped to look after your home and your family. It's been… Continue reading Pamper Monday – Top Gear

Scaredy Cat Challenge – 28 February 2010 (On your marks!)

DIANE IN DENMARK

Last week I wrote that I was (in the words of 'NEWO' Jonathan Roche) going to 'crank up' my weekly running distance in preparation for this year's 10k race. (Last year I took up running - yes, me, the non-sporty girl - and ran a 5k for the very first time.) My running buddies (two female friends, H and… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 28 February 2010 (On your marks!)

Scaredy Cat Challenge – 21 February 2010 (Get on Yer Bike! 2)

DIANE IN DENMARK

Another week has passed. And still no success with the bike challenge... I've got good excuses - family has been here, I've been ill with a bad cold. But, once again, the killer has been the weather. Snow, snow and more snow. And ice 🙁 Oh well, at least the back garden looks pretty! So… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 21 February 2010 (Get on Yer Bike! 2)
