A couple of years ago I saw Harry Styles live, so when I found out he was coming agin to Amsterdam OF COURSE I had to take the opportunity to go. Amazing <3
Unfortunately he did not pluck me from the crowd and ask me to join his band. So here we are again back to regular life.

Let’s Catch up!
Yessssss I know I’ve been flakey again, but I promise I have real excuses reasons why I just havent had the time to post lately. Attempt #3,672 to start again!
My current coffee drink is a home made iced latte with admittedly WAY too many shots of espresso in it. Some habits die really hard. What’s your bevvie of choice while we chat?
My last UCD was in March and quite some things have transpired, so if we were having coffee I’d tell you first and foremost work is insane right now. At the end of March I went to the UK for a work event, that crossed over into April and I took a few days off for the Easter holiday. I stayed with friends, went to a city I’ve never been in and did a lovely parkrun at the seaside. Once I returned to work we went live with a new ERP system and chaos ensued. April flew by with way too much stress, many tearful moments and again way too much caffeine to get through it all.
During all this chaos I would mention to you that my lovely friend Jen, also known as NakedJen, was in the Netherlands with her Life Partner in Crime, the Professor and so I had to take the opportunity to see her! The last time I saw her was at my wedding which, as we all know, was absolute yonks ago. I spent an amazing afternoon with them in Amsterdam and then they spent an afternoon and night with Ron and I before they headed out to their next European destination.
May was the month that Ron and I would go on our first cruise with my stepmom! If we were having coffee I would ask you if you have ever been on a cruise? All in all I really enjoyed it and we already made plans to book our next cruise, next year, to Norway. Our plan was to just be flexible and spend as much time with my stepmom as possible and that worked out perfectly. We made stops in Toulon, Ajaccio, Civitavecchia, Naples, Messina and Ravenna. Once we got to Ravenna we made our way up to Venice where we stayed for 3 extra days. Whilst there we also got to see friends who used to live in Arnhem but moved back to Italy late last year.
We got back from our holiday and the work chaos ensued once more and here we are in June, hoping it will start to even out a bit.
If we were having coffee I would also tell you that running is going pretty ok, though I haven’t run at all since we got back from holiday as I have had a bit of a Cruise Crud that’s affected my lungs. I have no timelines for running a 5K in one go. I’m also still walking (day 181 as of the date of this post) and I recently joined the gym (having been a few times as a guest already with Ron) again, just trying to figure out what to actually do there!
If anyone has any suggestions for any specific strength workouts for runners, I’m keen to hear them!
So tell me…
