I was really proud of myself completing a 10k mid summer in just over an hour and I was am determined to be able to complete the same distance in under an hour, my ultimate goal!

The first week of January felt so long, at least the work week. I don’t think I’ve wanted a Friday so badly as this one!

BSN Product Launch | Event
I was one of the lucky to be invited to the BSN Product Launch at Predator Nutrition in The Light in Leeds. They had arranged for famous bodybuilders, James ‘Flex’ Lewis and Carly Tierney, to attend as well and answer any questions that we would have. We were greeted by Carly on the door and she gave us samplings of BSN new products, the pre-workout punch and the protein shake, to try. They are both very sweet so I had trouble drinking them. The punch was easier as it’s water based, the protein shake is (like you could imagine) more like a milkshake and despite the intriguing taste of salted caramel I…
