Lovin’ Life 23/11/2017: A Change In the Weather.


The warmer weather hasn’t just put some pep in my step, it’s brought a breath of fresh air to the fruit at my local supermarket.  

Nectarines and peaches are in abundance.  It’s been such a joy to pick these up for a change instead of my usual apples and pears.

Mangoes are a steal at the moment and they’re a slightly special way to end those Monday night dinners which have come straight out of the freezer via the microwave.

Even the oranges have come up all juicy and sweet all of a sudden.

Of course I liked my own run!  It was my best pace for 5K since I started using Map My Run.
I’ve taken my morning runs outdoors and have been using Map My Run over the last couple of weeks.  It’s been a great motivator having all the details or each run stored in my account.  My friend in London has been cheering me on and I have her very respectable average paces and distances to aspire to.

I’ve had to invest in a new pair of wireless earphones because outdoor running seems a bit harder on the ear canals than running on a treadmill.  These were $35 from MINISO.  The extra ‘curl’ in each ear really does help them stay put more securely.

The outdoor runs have meant less gym time so I’ve been improvising at home.  I’m not loving that ab wheel in the conventional sense of the term but I am ‘loving’ it in the ‘no pain, no gain’ sense.

I’ve shied away from pull-ups at the gym but in the spirit of finding new challenges, I had the bright idea of doing tabletop pull-ups at home.  Ugh.  They are brutal.  I’m averaging around twelve per attempt with at least a 30-second recovery in between….

What’s the change in weather made you do?
