I can't run, but I have to do something!
I am a bit of a disaster, me. I am officially blind, due to a 'Traumatic Brain Injury' that I received in 2005, falling off my bike (*with* a helmet on - it could have been far worse!).
I currently have an injured hip, so I can't run. :-(

Gawd, it's been ages since I last posted here. Sorry! Have you all missed me?
Yesterday, I had a few New Year's Resolutions. And, looking in my diary, they were almost the same last year. And I didn't do them. :-( So, I will try again this year.
I won...
The girls went back to school at the beginning of September, and since then, I have done lots of exercise, at the gym (even though I haven't blogged about it, I have been doing it, honest!).
I have done LOTS of walking. My Fitbit has been happily going...
My two girls went back to school at the beginning of September, and since then, I have done lots of exercise, at the gym (even though I haven't blogged about it, I have been doing it, honest!), although this week was half-term, so I was at home with the...
This morning, I have done lots of funny exercises, and now I am zonked!
On our summer holiday (that lovely week-and-a-bit on my brother- and sister-in-law's yacht, in Greece), said sister-in-law told me about the TRX exercises band things - you hook th...
I have been really good, today. Although some bits were a bit rubbish...
This morning, Mr Flump went for a swim in a nearby reservoir (the idiot is training for another IronMan triathlon). Meanwhile, I did my normal Sunday change-the-beds trick, and I...
I didn't post yesterday, but I was a good girl, and spent half an hour on the exercise bike, going good and hard.
This morning, Mr Flump drove the Snufflemuncher and I up to the gym, and I managed 30 good hard minutes on the exercise machines. I did 10...
After yesterday's gym session, the muscles in my backside feel sooooo tight! So, I suggested that Mr Flump drive me up to the swimming pool, for their 'lane swimming' session this evening.
The pool was divided into 3 wide lanes. In the first one, which...
Yesterday, we got back from our holiday, in Greece. Well, actually on the water around Greece. Mr Flump's big brother has a lovely Greek wife, and they have a yacht there. They live and work in America, but they spend quite a bit of time in the summer i...
Another 'Oh-well,-I-have-nothing-better-to-do-than-exercise!' day. I got the bus, early (well, just before 9 - hey, when you have no job, that is early!), and went up to the sports centre. I did a good hard 30 minutes in the gym (to Queen 'Greatest Hits...
I am now into my second week of no work. Things are going to get a bit scary in a few weeks, when I will have to find myself something to do (both for the money, and for my sanity), but that can wait until after the summer holidays. Which haven't starte...
Last Friday, after 17 years working at my local university, I took 'Voluntary Severance' (which is normally called voluntary redundancy). They are going to close down the degree courses I teach on, and I decided that, rather than wait until the very end...
3 days exercise in a row! Yes, the old me did that all the time, but I haven't managed it for ages. (Blush, blush).
On Sunday, I just did a session on my exercise bike: 45 minutes, all of it going pretty fast (except for the time when I was lifting my ...
The exercise bit was good - I did LOTS of walking, (22,000 steps! and most of those were fast, energetic ones, as well), and I did a good 45 minute session on the bike. But then... I have not had a good evening. My husband, Mr Flump, went out for a run,...
Well, not THAT gently. I was at home today, with nothing much to do. mr Flump wanted to go down to the supermarket, and I didn't have abny reason to walk to the shops in town. But still, I wanted to hit my 20,000 step Fitbit target, so I went out for 2 ...
OK, I have had my Fitbit for a few weeks now - I haven't been able to run for a few years now, and I have become a complete lard-****. I have had it for 3 weeks, and it tells me that I am supposed to take 10,000 steps a day. Well, this week I have done ...
This morning, I got up fairly early, caught an early train to work, and went straight to the gym. I did 15 minutes, fairly hard, on the bike, and then 15 minutes on the slippy-slidey thing. I knew I had a busy morning, sorting out exam marks, so I then ...
My plan for this afternoon/evening:
1) Do some cycling, while watching a DVD of 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'. That was fine, I made sure I was cycling hard, and doing dumbell lifts, as well, so I knew I was not just exercising my legs. So, 45 minutes, fa...
This morning was just normal work, but then this afternoon I had a work meeting at another university. It is a mile and a half from the train station, up a fairly serious hill. The old me would have:
a) Got the bus from the train station to work, this ...
I told you I've got a Fitbit, didn't I? Well, this afternoon, I went for a walk, up to the Swimming Pool (which is 2 and a half miles). I was walking energetically, and it took me about 45 minutes. once there, I went to the gym, but I was in a bit of a ...
I had a good day, today. I got up early this morning, and I was picked up by a lovely lady who I 'met' on my little town's Facebook page. I moaned that the buses have stoped going up to the new-ish sports centre, up by the river. She said "Well, I go up...
I haven't been around for ages, and I decided to start a new blog, although I don't know how many will read it.
If you don't know me, well, I am a funny one. I am officially registered as blind (although I can see OK for most thing, although I most cer...
