Instagram - daily life

Spectators on route today, went exploring local footpaths but dead ends, disappearing paths, fields of crops, dung heaps and a dilapidated boat (yes in landlocked Wiltshire) all hampered my progress But an enjoyable Sunday Runday ☀️🏃‍♀️ #runhappyteam
#ironmanvr7 ✅ Took to the trails around the farm for the runs. Turbo in the garden Enjoying the sunshine ☀️ #Ironman #TogetherAtHome #virtualraced #lockdown2020
Ishka decided to change sleeping arrangements to bunk beds with Roxy. So cheeky. #dogsofinstagram #cockerspaniel #workingpets #sleepingdogs
COPS charity 🚓 virtual 5k First run with Roxy, and a future running partner 🐾🏃‍♀️but hopefully with less stops for sniffing, weeing, barking, and wrapping me around trees ! #copscharity #Wiltshire #lockdown2020 #runningwithdogs #virtualrunningevents
Latest blog - two viruses in two years wiped out my race seasons Link in bio https://swimsweatandgears.com/2020/05/11/viruses-2-0-race-seasons/
Four day weekend for me of two halves, 2 of ☀️ 2 of ⛅️ 💨 Got a BodyPump ‘live’ session, reading in my deckchair and run in the sun. Then back to jogging bottoms and hoodie for Netflix binge - Dead to Me. 👍🏻 Bring back the sunshine and flip flops
Hello sunshine ☀️ Countryside footpaths & fields. Trying to avoid stinging nettles I found the mud ! Whilst I didn’t see anyone I have still mastered opening most gates with my feet, for those that need two hands I now carry bottle of sanitiser with me on runs 🦠 🏃‍♀️
Love exercising in the sun ☀️ 🏋️ Morning group Live BodyPump 💦 🚲 Big gear turbo time watching the chickens 🐓 #lockdown2020 #stayhome #lesmillsbodypump
Rocking my run today ! #RNRVR1 Gated trail run - 5k trail run with 28 gates/stiles. Solo in the sun and social distancing as didn’t see anyone just a lone white pheasant in a field and a few lambs. Took mini bottle of hand sanitizer with me #staylocal #stayathome #covid19 #rocknrollrun
Tried something new - ironman Virtual Race VC3 Not sure why as it was the devils 👿distance - 1.5k run - 20k bike - 5k run 🏃‍♀️🚲🏃‍♀️ Just to make it harder I took the hilly multi terrain option and ran up farm tracks, around fields, along bridle paths and cycled on patio all in the midday sun. So I may well get the wooden spoon for my age group but have points in the scoreboard. I set up the Garmin for duathlon in race mode so I can repeat and compare my progress as lockdown continues. A few technical glitches - bike distance not showing on IM dashboard and running shoe laces got knotted. A bit of fun to add to exercise and kept within in guidelines as first run & bike were at home on farm then local 5k run 🏃‍♀️
Easter 🐣 weekend Change of scenery- staycation. Front garden. Daffs fading, hammock swinging, tree blossoming, blue skies & Bremhill village in the distance. Paradise life. Bit breezy today - Easter Monday. #stayhome #easterweekend2020 #mygardenlife #kindlereads
BodyPump #110 60 mins. Joined by one of the dogs half way through - had to put barbell down 🏋️💪🏼🤣 You don’t get that kind of interruption in a gym class ! @lesmillsondemand #bodypump #homeworkout #stayhome
