Summer in the city ☀️ ‪Happy Friday - lunchtime in the park. Sun is shining, blossom blooming and waft of cannabis creeping through the park ! ‬ Can you get a passive high ?! Time to escape the office and another chance to climb the 10 flights of stairs after lunch Trying to ‘do’ the stairs twice a day this week 30 floors a day. #springtime #blossom #cityparks #greenspaces #freshair #lunchbreak #bristol
Been a busy couple weeks as I’ve joined @slidebristol as Marketing Manager. Limited triathlon training but always time for a cuddle with this little puppy at home 🏠 🐶 Had a good run & catch up with Lucy at Devizes half marathon Sunday. #devizeshalfmarathon #wiltshire #halfmarathon #busybusybusy #newjob #cockerspaniel
Brilliant 2p bargain season opener swim at 50m lido. Steamy heated pool 🏊‍♂️ was atmospheric with grey skies and drizzle, not that we noticed. Mike swim done ✅ A bit chilly poolside so Dryrobe worn. Brass band playing & local BBC station there. First visit and I’ll be back 🏊‍♂️👍🏼💦 #lidoswim #dryrobe #50meterpool #outdoorfitness #swimtime #friends #easterweekend #easter #stripanddip
Reading sorted for next few weeks commuting to Bristol. I rejoined the working world 🌍 this week. It’s been a while but I’m easing in with 4 day work : 4 days off : 4 days work. Marketing & Communications Manager for Slide Bristol- fast paced technology & transport start up serving Bristol with premium commuting experiences. Hot desking in DeskLodge which is like going to a theme park each day to work. You can sit in the garden or surf shack🏄‍♂️ 🏝, Legoland, safari camp ⛺️ , the Tardis, Grumpys garden shed, Wild West 🤠. Very relaxed, friendly and positive working environment. The best fresh ground coffee on tap. Free fruit. Lunchtime yoga classes and end of month socials what's not to like about going to the 'office' ! 😀 It’s a steep learning curve in a new business, industry, systems & processes, place and people but exciting times and I love a challenge 😀 Not managed to fit in any training but as I focus on the job and settle in I’m sure it’ll all fall into place. #Bristol #slidebristol #commuting #reading #fiction #traintravel #newjob #desklodgebristol
‪@StMarysCalne Finishing my #SportsRelief London to Paris Wattbike team ride - 30 minutes completed. Coffee & cake made it easier 😋🍰☕️💦🚲✅‬ #triathlon #ironman #ironmantraining #womenfortri #swimbikerun #livewellhavefun #IMWales #roadtoironman #asthma #asthmaathlete #PiYo #tri365 #running #cycling #swimming #fitat50 #trainhard #alwaysgiveyourbest #ivegotgoals #coffee #fitness #swimsweatandgears #hotsweatymess
Only 6 months to go to ironman Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🐉😳 Decided to head for the hills and get some lumpy miles in my legs as prep for Tenby. Spring is trying to break through with blue skies & sunshine but still very chilly to run in. #zone2 #hillrunning #Tenbyterrain #blueskies #springtime
Tongue 👅 out Tuesday 😛 Wattbike max power 💥 minute intervals target 🎯 smashed ⚡️Jango enjoying last of the snow ❄️ Hopefully these indoor sessions will translate to the road rides now spring is here ?! #wattbike #springerspaniel #dogsofinstgram #toungeouttuesday
Not sure the daffodils will survive the latest snowfall ? 140 daffodils to remind me of 140 miles of ironman Wales in September This now is affecting training now. Time for summertime to break through - also forgotten how to ride my bike on the road ?! Not had snow on my birthday for decades #spring2018 #snowfall❄️ #daffodils #trainingaffected
Forest of Dean trail half cancelled so snow day with Jango & his ball ⚽️ ⛄️❄️ One happy dog 🐶 Hours walk in the white stuff, saw barn owl 🦉 & 🦌 & 🦆#snowdogs #snowday #wildlife #spring2018
Sweetspot 20’s Nothing sweet about these ! Very much a sweat-fest 💦 Fan not in action so a hot 90 minutes Wattbike session 🌡 Have FTP test next week hopefully these sessions will show improved power in the results 🚲 #Wattbike #sweatymess #FTP #power #trainingday
Breakfast cauliflower pizza 🍕 Bacon 🥓 eggs 🍳 tomatoes 🍅 herbs 🌿 cheese 🧀 Complete with crispy edges 😋 Chickens laying well with longer daylight hours. #healthyfood #fresheggs #bestbreakfast #cauliflowerpizza
Managed to escape the snow drifts at last. Lumpy loops around town with Liz Laird consolation run, sorry not quite Benidorm 🌴 or Cotswold Sportive but good company. Tested new Balega mohair socks 🧦- perfect for today’s 9 mile run. Seems our daffodils have survived their snow blanket. Spring may just appear soon.... please ! #escapedsnow #springtime #balegasocks #newbalanceshoes #sundayrunday🏃
