Now, when I go to the gym, I’m always weighed down with a collection of STUFF that is essential to my existence at said gym: stuff like my hoodie (yeah, yeah, I own a hoodie, settle down), water [...]]]> http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2011/02/the-one-where-i-try-to-steal-stuff-from-the-gym.html/feed 15 http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2010/11/going-commando.html http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2010/11/going-commando.html#comments Sat, 27 Nov 2010 13:22:12 +0000 Amber http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/?p=4069 So, this happened: And this, my friends, is why I leave the country every December, if it’s humanly possible. “Imagine if we weren’t going on holiday soon!” I said to Terry last night, as we watched a couple of cars get stuck in the small smattering of snow that lay in our street at that [...]]]> http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2010/11/going-commando.html/feed 22 http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2010/09/taking-the-long-way-around.html http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2010/09/taking-the-long-way-around.html#comments Wed, 01 Sep 2010 09:34:07 +0000 Amber http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/?p=3236 So, I decided to start running outdoors again. Yeah, I know: been there, done that, got the washed-out Nike t-shirt (actually it’s a tank top, but whatever) to prove it. If you’ve been reading this blog since God was a teenager, however, you’ll know that I don’t tend to have much luck with running outdoors.

In fact, they gave me the vaccination for the regular flu at the same time, so I felt a bit like a walking pincushion. Contrary to what we were told last week, it turns out that a lot [...]]]> http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/11/me-and-my-shadow-and-my-iphone.html/feed 13 http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/09/gym-etiquette-revisited.html http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/09/gym-etiquette-revisited.html#comments Mon, 21 Sep 2009 20:08:28 +0000 Amber http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/?p=2115 Riddle me this, readers: You’re at the gym. It’s empty, but for one solitary person – a clumsy redhead, say – who is wheezing away on the treadmill right next to the wall. This treadmill is one of about ten such machines, so there are lots to choose from. Do you: a) Use the treadmill [...]]]> http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/09/gym-etiquette-revisited.html/feed 20 http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/09/the-day-i-almost-died.html http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/09/the-day-i-almost-died.html#comments Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:06:03 +0000 Amber http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/?p=2117 Today I did my first ever 10km run. 10km! And OK, I did it on the treadmill rather than outside, and I didn’t exactly break the land speed record in the process, but I did manage to run for the full 10km without stopping or walking, AND I did it without having my own choice [...]]]> http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/09/the-day-i-almost-died.html/feed 26 http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/08/all-work-no-play-rinse-and-repeat.html http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/08/all-work-no-play-rinse-and-repeat.html#comments Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:58:17 +0000 Amber http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/?p=2046 Wow, see how easy it is to get out of the habit of blogging when there’s nothing at all happening? Lately life has entered one of those weird “frantically-busy-but-also-mind-numbingly-boring” phases. In fact, I don’t think I’ve left the house in the past couple of weeks other than to visit the parents/walk the dog/go to the [...]]]> http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/08/all-work-no-play-rinse-and-repeat.html/feed 13 http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/02/everybody-hurts-especially-in-february.html http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/02/everybody-hurts-especially-in-february.html#comments Tue, 17 Feb 2009 11:03:37 +0000 Amber http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/?p=1201 OK, February, you win. It’s become clear to me now that absolutely EVERYTHING I try to do this month is doomed to epic failure, so I’m just going to go back to bed until March, OK? Actually, wait: make that May.

In fact, I went to a Boxercise class, and here’s the thing about that: if you ever catch me mentioning doing another one, I want you to do that “reaching through the screen and slapping me” thing we discussed earier this week, m’kay?
