Postitive Parkrun

10/9/2016

0 Comments

 
Juggling the demands of home and work is a constant challenge and one that I could talk about ad infinitum, as do many other parents.

I love sport and take any opportunity I can to get moving. It's not always easy to find time but I always feel so much better (and nicer!) afterwards. And as parents, we are trying our best to create the same enthusiasm in our boys for a whole host of reasons. again often under discussion in this micro-parent-management-age.

One regular event we try to attend is Parkrun - a free weekly timed 5K run that takes place throughout the year. There are 417 Parkruns taking place on Saturdays at 9am. We go to Penrhyn Parkrun which has a spectacular background of Snowdonia scenery and an undulating course, often muddy and windy once the Autumn and Winter months kick in.

The great thing about Parkrun is that it is not a race, rather all types of runners and joggers and walkers of all ages come along to join in, from toddlers to pensioners. Some come as families and walk and run around at the pace of their youngest child; some come to meet new people and have some me time; some come to get fitter and some come to smash their PB week on week.

For us, Parkrun has become a great start to the weekend and both our boys are learning that if you keep going, you feel really great when you get to the finish line. And to stick with it - its a great life lesson. And a couple of weeks ago, they both got medals at the special #IamteamGB parkrun which made their day. Their experience of sport at school is so hit and miss (another story but I think kids should do sport / PE every day at school, even if its only for 15 mins at the start of the day), it is great to get involved as a family and get moving.

Finding time to blog

By the time I've worked on my clients' projects, blogs and social media posts, I've found opportunities to blog as ItsLello few and far between. The theory is so simple but the reality, when so many plates are spinning both in and outside work, is otherwise. So, my first ItsLello blog for 2016....

I'm working on the redesign of Ultimate Destinations' website over Q4 in partnership with our friends at FL1 Digital. "Designing a Modern Travel Website" from Zolv is worth a read. Go to - www.zolv.com/download/designwhitepaper - you have to fill a few details - but the information in this white paper is really useful.

Places I'd like to visit

Lake Matheson NZ
I've been enjoying updating the Australasia section of ultimatedestinations.co.uk with some new images this week. The only problem is it makes you want to visit all these lovely places which with two little people in tow isn't as easy as it used to be! We can all dream! Lake Matheson in New Zealand looks very special.

A little ray of sunshine

We've been blasted by the elements for weeks now, as has most of the UK. Weather experts are saying that we are heading for the wettest Winter since records began. Global warning or just a glitch? Whilst wellies are not de-rigeur here its still been pretty miserable. It was lovely to see some sunshine at Cemaes Bay last weekend - so uplifting.

The first snow of the Winter has settled on the mountains - mixed with the gorgeous, rich bracken browns and greens of the lower hills and the glassy, grey-blue streaked beaches, a drive from Bangor towards Conwy is a real treat.

Small beginnings

It is about time I had my own website seeing as I help lots of other businesses and people to manage theirs. Welcome to ItsLello. Hopefully it will give you a flavour of how I can help you to get online or improve your online presence and do it well.

I'm also a working mum to two super little people which brings its own challenges and shape to my "flexible" working week. As a family we relocated from Hertfordshire to North Wales in the summer of 2012 and my husband and I are currently renovating a very lovely money pit. And we are surrounded by the most amazing scenery. The seasons seem more defined here and each one brings its own beauty.

So this blog will be a smorgasbord of comments and observations about the digital world, family life, old houses and our surprising and stunning location. I hope it will prove to be a good read.
