Every January, there’s a familiar pressure to start again. New goals, new routines, new expectations. The idea that turning the page on the calendar should somehow turn us into more motivated, more disciplined versions of ourselves. Over the years, I’ve learned that approach doesn’t work for me. Instead of resolutions, I choose a word for … More My Word of the Year: Running with Intention
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve written something as Miss Wheezy and things have changed a bit! So I thought I’d start this blog post with a little life update, and sharing my word for 2022. It’s a habit I started back in 2015 as a way to focus on a theme for the … More 2022: Time to EXPLORE
With the last couple of weekends dominated by Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis, there has been a lot of time for planning adventures and booking races! I don’t know about you, but if I can’t get outside I end up spending my time researching new opportunities to go cycling, running or hiking and booking trips! … More Outdoor and Fitness Challenges in 2020
Okay so we’re nearly four weeks into 2020 now, but I feel like I’ve finally got time to sit down and reflect on the last twelve months, and think about what I want to achieve this year. 2019 was a turbulent year, and it ended up being particularly challenging in a lot of ways. I … More 2020: Love is in the air
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything on Miss Wheezy, or even shared anything on my social media channels. I suppose I’ve been suffering from a lack of motivation and wondering what direction I should be taking my blog, now that I’ve been writing it for so long (I started Miss Wheezy in April … More A little life update and finding balance

As the year draws to a close I always like to take time to look back and reflect on the things I’ve achieved – while my blog doesn’t showcase everything I’ve … More A look back at 2018
So we’re already into Day 4 of 2018 and I’m finally starting to sit down and think about my goals and ambitions for the year – if I’m honest, there’s nothing BIG that’s jumping out at me, screaming that I HAVE to do it this year. I’m just excited to see what the year holds … More Happy New Year: Breathe in 2018
As you may be aware, I turned 30 last week. Eeek! I spent the weekend celebrating in the Lake District, and woke up on my actual birthday to a cup of tea in bed and pancakes. I even squeezed in a run/walk around the Fitness Trail in Wendover Woods – an opportunity to get outside … More 30 before 30: Recap
What makes you HAPPY? For 2017, I have chosen this word as my “word of the year” (last year’s was FOCUS if you’re interested). I intend for it to help me let go of the trivial things that can bring me down, appreciate all the great things I have in my life, and consider whether … More My word for 2017: Happy
As 2016 comes to a close, I find myself in a very different place now to when I started the year. From completing two long distance cycling races, to taking up kettlebells and strength training, to being 10 months into a relationship with an amazing guy – 2016 has definitely been full of surprises! It’s great to … More A Look Back at 2016
