Inspirational advent – 2nd December
Welcome to Day 2 of my motivational advent calendar. Thanks for have a look. Remember to join me over on Instagram for a new conversation starter each day where we will talk all things Christmas!
Inspirational advent – 1st December
It is my favorite time of year, advent time! Not only am I being active every day in December as part of Advent Running, but I am also sharing 25 days of inspirational graphics for your viewing pleasure. If you click on the image, it takes you over to Instagram, where I will be asking a new question about the holidays to learn more about different cultural traditions and holiday favourites. You will also be able to find my graphics over on Pinterest, if you would like to pin or share them.
Please come back and see what new words of wisdom I am sharing each day in the lead up to Christmas. Enjoy!
Let’s go streaking
At the end of July, I knew I needed to start running again. Injuries and persistent pain have made me a bit scared about running. My trip to Malawi, which includes three 20km trails runs, means I need to be fit and healthy. In order to get over my fear and slowly build up my fitness again, I decided to do a run streak in August. My commitment was to run only one mile a day but I could run more if I felt like it. The goal was to keep it low pressure and use it as a way to explore all the places I was visiting in early August.

After sharing my plans and progress on social media, I am happy to report that several people joined me on #augustrunstreak. Being on holiday made it really easy to fit the runs into my schedule and also go a little bit further if the mood struck me. Returning to London and a full work week in the middle of a heatwave has made it hard to get out for much more than one mile to five kilometers a day. I was trying not to be competitive but in the last few days of the streak, I am worried that I haven’t got any faster. But I need to remember that my original intention was never to get faster but just to enjoy running again.
And I think I do. There is still a bit of pain when I run but a referral for further diagnostics should give me some clues. Mentally, I am ready to start really putting work into my Malawi preparation- both in terms of running and physical strength. Fifty three plus miles as of yesterday for the month is a not a bad place to start (see the Instagram post below for the final updates).

A few people were asking me if I would keep my streak going once August was over. I feel like that would put more pressure on me that what I had originally planned when I started. Instead, I am going to start a #septemberplankstreak. Every day in September, I am going to hold a plank for as long as I can. Maybe I will record the times, maybe not. Core strength is very important for running. And something I always slack on.
Care to join me for a September streak? Let me know in the comments below if you want to run, plank, or streak another way. If you prefer a variety, check out the Strava Escape Plan. All 32 of their sports count towards a five days per week challenge throughout September.
Do you have what it takes? Commit to 30 seconds a day or one hour a day. It is up to you and what you enjoy. See you at the finish!
Join me for 30 Days To Happy
Everyone deserves to be happy. As the Happiness Personal Trainer and a qualified health coach, I have the tools to guide you through small changes that can add up to make a big difference in your daily life. Why not join me for a unique online training program that I developed to cultivate happiness through fitness, food, feelings and fun? I will be there to hold your hand, cheer you on, and guide you through some of your roadblocks as we work together over 30 days.
’30 Days To Happy’ is conducted online, meaning anyone in the world can join as long as they have access to the internet. Held over email and Facebook, we will touch upon attributes of fitness, food, fun and feelings, learning healthy ways to incorporate each into our daily lives by gently stepping in and out of our comfort zones.
