Hello Snowdonia... Nice change of scene this weeke

Hello Snowdonia... Nice change of scene this weekend on our first @mind_o_mountains walk of the year. Since moving to the Lakes I've not really had any reason to head back to Wales besides our charity walks. The Snowdonia mountains were my closest stomping ground as a kid in Chester, and I did most of my training there for my first expeditions in Nepal. Crimpiau brought back lots of memories, and it was as boggy, rough and cold and brilliant as ever.

Stop quitting things, start doing things. Lots of

Stop quitting things, start doing things.

Lots of us will be trying to quit bad habits for New Year resolutions, maybe to stop eating sugar, drink less alcohol, or stop wasting time on social media (irony). Doesn’t it feel like punishment? If I tell my dog NOT to jump in a pond, I know what he’s going to do.

Apparently we’re 25% more likely to achieve ‘approach’ goals which move towards positive outcomes, than ‘avoidance’ goals to stop something negative. ‘Spend less time on social media’ could become ‘read 30 mins every day’ and ‘stop eating takeaways’ could be ‘learn to cook more meals at home’. Hopefully you get the point...

What have you started in 2022?
I'm going to start running in the Howgills more!

Looking forward to longer days.

So glad to feel the light lingering a tad longer last weekend, ticking off another Wainwright summit (Loft Crag) in the amazing Langdale.

Typically, I put my foot in it by posting about training and consistency last week. I've had a mystery bug/virus which is clinging on like Boris and won't get rid. It's frustrating to miss training with less than 3 weeks till Grizedale Marathon, but a good opportunity to do other stuff instead. The hardest bit is always getting to the start line.

Nothing blue but the sky. Apparently 17th January

Nothing blue but the sky. Apparently 17th January is #BlueMonday the 'most depressing day' of the year. Just so you know, this was rustled up by a travel company in 2005 to increase bookings.

I mean, wouldn't it be convenient if depression or anxiety could be pre-scheduled in the diary, instead of coming and hitting you for six out of nowhere?!

I'm grateful to feel positive about lots of things at the moment. Maybe tomorrow I won't. But the last thing we need is anyone telling us how we should feel.

Anyway... I beat them to it and booked a trip to Canada last week. Roll on the Rockies!
