And that's a wrap! Red January is done ✅ Finished the month with a lovely stroll and explore around Knightshayes with my littlest (lots of hanging around and persuading him to use his own little legs 🤣) Final run of the month was a decent 7+K evening dash where I smashed my 5K pb to sub 30 minutes 💪🏼🏃🏼‍♀️

A great start to the year with good habits made and hopefully kept. Smashed my monthly steps target with more than an average of 12,000 daily steps target made, more than 37,000 steps made this month. Winning 🌟

A typical day getting my walking school runs in to get my steps in. Just shy of 1000 for the day.

A housebound day with poorly boys ended with a much needed club run to get my outside movement in and a daily steps total of 11,000+.

Almost at the end of Red January and so proud of myself and the rest of the Badrat Team for their daily movement efforts! It's had such a positive impact of the start of the year. Start as you mean to go on - EXERCISE for a healthy body and mind.

A lovely long 10.5 km run to start the weekend. Hilly, lovely views, birdsong, sunshine, horses and even lambs! A spring in my step after that run.

Totalled more than 16,000 steps today! Smashing my monthly steps target and feeling all the better for it 💪🏼🏃🏼‍♀️☀️

Another day running around after kiddos knocked my daily steps up to 11,000. Decided to ditch the usual car pick up and walk the Friday after school run as it was lovely and sunny, plus would guarantee my steps daily target!

A normal work day running around after kiddos along with the school runs before and after school. Forgot to wear my watch today as it's been charging so can only assume I hit my daily target 🤞🏼

Spent most of the day dancing with my preschooler - the more we grooved the happier we were! 

Finished the day with a decent 7K club run. A great way to end an active day. Steps totalled more than 22,000!

A busy admin day today but managed to get my steps in doing the school runs. Modelling getting outside in all weathers to my boys and getting our bodies moving in the fresh air does wonders!

A normal Monday running around after kiddos and then a very wet and windy 5.5 km run to end the day with. Didn't want to run but made myself get out, much later than planned and after dinner. Lesson learnt - NEVER run after dinner! I felt queasy for the entire route 🤢 Felt energised and happily sated after the run though. Runs always make me feel good 👍🏼

Ended a chilled family day with some pre-bedtime yoga. Body stretches to unwind and relax to promote healthy sleep and recovery which is just as important as high intensity exercise!

A beautiful afternoon 5K trek around National Trust Brean Down with the family. Got to the peak at sunset so spectacular views. Had the preschooler on my back so felt like I was on a military expedition but worth it!

Totalled more than 12,000 steps today so still smashing my steps target!

Who would have thought that I only started my running journey back in September 2023 and completed the couch to 5k program in November? 2 months on and today I ran my first ever 10K distance. I ran along country roads and through woodlands surrounded by greenery and wildlife and I felt happy, healthy and strong in my body and mind 💪🏼

Another day with a poorly preschooler so not as much outside time as I would like but still managed to get the school run walks done (one I stretched out to over 4K) to clear my daily target with more than 11,000 steps!

Home with a poorly preschooler so relied heavily on my morning and afternoon school runs to get my steps in. Walked a longer route on both to get some extra outside exercise time in (both with a pram so not all steps recorded). Not quite 9,000 steps recorded by bedtime but still on track for smashing 30,000 steps by the end of January. 

Sometimes you can't always make your goal but the journey up to it is just as important. Still getting outside in all weathers and moving your body is good for the body and soul!

The benefits of purposeful exercise and movement are enormous ... Loving beating the January Blues.

Finishing my first week with a wonderfully sunny stroll around Nine Springs Country Park with the family. Getting outside and moving is the very best thing to do away with any January Blues!

A beautifully sunny day, a perfect day to be out and about but my preschooler had other ideas 😆🤦🏼‍♀️ A reluctant kiddo decided to just lie down in the mud and refuse to move on our family walk. 

I did manage to squeeze in some extra solo steps during an evening stroll at a local nature reserve with some spectacular scenery at sunset.

Didn't manage to hit the daily 10,000 steps target today but my running total is still on track with an impressive 75,980 steps!

Never have I felt so exhausted as I have today ... Dragging my feet all day barely keeping my eyes open. But I still managed to get an evening 5K run in to smash my daily steps target with a total of more than 15,000 steps today.

Feeling all the better for it too - still exhausted but an accomplished exhaustion!

No specific exercise session today due to time constraints and still resting my knee, but I still managed to smash my 10,000 daily steps target with just running around after kiddos all day in the rain 🌧️


Wednesday 3rd January

Wednesday 3rd Jan
Walked more than 16,000 steps today - all down to the school runs. Longest walk of the day I had my 16kg preschooler asleep on my back! 

Squeezed in an evening walk around the block to replace my usual run as my knee is feeling sore from my long Monday run. 

It doesn't matter how you get your movement in just as long as you do something to keep your body and mind active!

Last day of Christmas 🎄 break before back to term time chaos! Took the boys out for a very windy and very muddy run and climb around the park today. I managed to get some steps in doing laps around the climbing equipment and chasing the boys. Lots of fun!

Just shy of my 10000 steps goal for the day (but reaching 14,000 yesterday has given me a bit of leeway!) Plus I've still got time to do a few stair runs before bedtime!

Monday 1st Jan
I started the day with a slow ramble exploring the woodlands with my family - there was lots of gathering of interesting items, sliding around in the mud and climbing trees! A great way to start the year, outside in my favourite place - the woods 🌳

I completed my 10,000 daily steps goal with an afternoon run. A strong start 💪🏼🏃🏼‍♀️
