#REDJanuary – Red31

RED January Week 1

Miles run: 18 Have I run at least one mile a day? Yes Was I always in a better mood afterwards? Yes (disputed by boyfriend) Did I wave/say hello/thumbs up people? Sometimes. It turns out not many people venture out in the dark in -1 degree temperatures. However, those brave souls I have come acrossContinue reading “RED January Week 1”

RED Jan 2021

Here we go again … RED Day one Inspired by the One Mile Happy walk I did during last years RED January (see video) this January I decide to commit to running at least one mile a day. A one mile happy run if you will. These are the rules I set for my self:Continue reading “RED Jan 2021”

The Big Finale – Seated Exercises for Seniors

Ruby’s Day 31 I Wish I could have finished REDJan with a bang. Run a half marathon, go sky diving, or some other incredibly impressive activity. But I’ve had a long week , I ran ten miles yesterday, and I’m very tired. I finished my REDJanuary with seated exercises for seniors. If you want toContinue reading “The Big Finale – Seated Exercises for Seniors”

Bao Buns, Booze, and Bright lights

Ruby’s Day 30/31 Social runs combine two things I enjoy; running and alcohol (not at the same time). Let’s be honest, me drinking alone is just a bit sad. And running is definitely better with company. Thus, the Social Run was born. If you haven’t been before – why not? We go for 5km (atContinue reading “Bao Buns, Booze, and Bright lights”

1 Mile Happy Walk

Ruby’s Day 29/31 Day: 29 Mood: Dejected I feel like I have failed REDJanuary this week. Tuesday I got home from work too late to go to Pumpfit and today I got lost trying to find HIIT class (It was 2.5 miles from my house) and subsequently missed the class. Whilst I have still managedContinue reading “1 Mile Happy Walk”

Hello Flamenco

Ruby’s Day 28/31 Colleague: Do anything good last night? Me: Not really, read about investment appraisal techniques for an hour then did some Flamenco dancing. Colleague: Sorry, what ? I wish I could say this was the weirdest thing I’ve done this month.. But the baby Shark Abbs workout takes some beating. Here is theContinue reading “Hello Flamenco”

LRG Trumpington

Ruby’s Day 27/31 Less than half of the group got lost this evening on our steady 5km run. Not a bad statistic. One of the benefits of running with LRG’s Trumpington is the added fun of potentially getting lost within a 3 mile radius from where we set off. We frequently set off together, endContinue reading “LRG Trumpington”

BodyPump

Ruby’s Day 26/31 I don’t normally volunteer to go to classes. Copying an Instructor without falling over or crashing into someone is difficult. Add in some music and weights and there is potential for disaster. I was slightly concerned by the amount of equipment people were gathering when I arrived. Despite doing red January IContinue reading “BodyPump”

I feel the need, the need for speed!

Keeva day 26/31 And speed it was! First full day on the slopes and we made the most of it. The weather temporarily threatened our epic adventure from one end of Espace Killy to the other, but the sun fought hard and blue skies prevailed just in time for our final ascent. The return journeyContinue reading “I feel the need, the need for speed!”

Ceilidh

Ruby’s Day 25/31 For day 25 we went to a Ceilidh. After working out how to pronounce Ceilidh, we just had to master the actual dancing. I’ve got to admit, when we turned up and saw people in Kilts I thought we were in real trouble as I am not a good dancer. I’m happyContinue reading “Ceilidh”
