First things first, March was a bad month, actually most of February was bad and the badness continued into March. Work was so busy and stressful (I’m doing the work of 3 people, having had 5 weeks training). That feeling … Continue reading →

Last year, Ma took me to Sweaty Betty and bought me an exercise outfit (trousers and top). Before that I’d exercised in cheap (read cotton) track suit bottoms and cotton tops, there was nothing wrong with this, it was what … Continue reading →

Posted on January 1, 2012 by nicdempsey

During #resound11, we were asked what our theme sound for 2011 was and I chose ‘A Little Bit of Feelgood” by Jamie Lidell. I stand by that, it’s totally where I was in 2011. Krissie from Questions for Dessert chose … Continue reading →

Sweaty Betty

Posted on September 6, 2011 by nicdempsey

On Sunday, Ma and I went for a run. It wasn’t a great success, but we did it. I normally run in very old tracksuit bottoms and t-shirts, it’s a look, not a good one but a look. My underpinnings … Continue reading →

Changing my mood

Posted on June 30, 2011 by nicdempsey

I didn’t have a good start to the week. We had a 2.5 day heatwave in London on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday morning. Now people who live in properly hot places probably wouldn’t think of the weather we’ve had as … Continue reading →

Exercise and mood control

Posted on May 30, 2011 by nicdempsey

I’ve been running quite a bit over the past couple of weeks.  The Nike+ app tells me it’s been 46.76km since I started (except there have been 3 runs that didn’t get logged due to ‘spotty’ GPS, which is Nike … Continue reading →
