Still alive

Sorry for the lack of updates but the last couple of days have been so full on I have hardly had the time to stay in touch with anyone. No updates yet but things can get interesting further down the line :-)

One thing I can tell you about though is the amazing yoga run I did last weekend called the Glöanna yoga run. You get a champagne shot, run 5k followed by an hour of yoga and picnic in the park with lots of beautiful people. There were lots if freebies, hula hoop classes and massages. A gorgeous start to the weekend :-) 

Run to the beat

Phew finally I am back home after a week of dog sitting in North West London.

It has been a very intense week and I cannot begin to describe how nice it is to be

back home sitting in my own bed :-)

Today's I did Nike's half marathon Run to the Beat - 13,000 people running around Greenwich

park - a gorgeous day and so much fun. Vita Coco had a yummy rehydration station and

Jessie J and lots of great DJ's were playing. I am so doing it again next year. 

My time was decent for the 13 miles and I put it down to the lovely dinner

I had with lovely girlfriend KV at XO the night before. Chicken har gau (like a spring roll with

salad and peanuts, aubergine and lychee curry and a trio for desserts). 

I am so tired although it isnt even ten o'clock - running is the best sleeping pill.

Sweet dreams my dear ones :)

Flyknit

When a group of likeminded people get together to do their thing
it can feel like magic. And magical is the perfect word to describe the
Nike Flyknit run tonight with super athlete Hannah England. We ran from
Somerset House along the Thames, by London Eye, Tate Modern, Waterloo,
through the tunnels with lots of fun along the way and once we reached goal
there was champagne, waffles, smoothies, fruit and fun.

7.5km done. I am ready to take on 2013 now :)

Lots of love

Community wanted

We all want to belong to something. No matter how much of a loner
or solo artist we are - some part of us likes to belong to a group.
This is why it can become very frustrating when a group of people
you thought you belonged to just don't "fit" you anymore or are moving in
a direction that just doesn't feel right.

I just came back from the lovely Nike Running Club after a gorgeous
nice and easy long run followed by smoothies and chit chat with the others.
What strikes me is that a lot of runners, triathletes, gym goers... you name it...
seek a new community because their friends keep on downing beers, boozing
or doing other somewhat destructive habits that they just don't agree with
anymore. Just to clarify that there is nothing wrong with having the odd
drink or boozy night out but I see a lot of people who just don't seem to know
what the concept of enough is.

In the end its up to you to decide. You chose your friends and you chose your
day. I am very blessed with having amazing people in my life who support
me, push me and give me that boost on a grey day.

And to all those of you who are still seeking, dont give up there is someone,
some people or something out there for everyone. At the end of the day
remember - run the day, dont let it run you.

Lots of love
