Yikes it’s been a busy old week. I’ve been training hard, with a combination a hill sprints, long runs, circuit training in the living room while Heidi eats her breakfast and a couple of gym sessions too. In addition, I’ve also been burning brain cells, working hard on some new presentations, workshops and consultation projects…and dare I say I might still be recovering from the shock of turning 30.

All in all it’s been canny hectic lately, I’ve been feeling a little burnt out and not 100%.

This isn’t good at the best of times, but with so many commitments coming up in the next few weeks, it’s important that I’m on top of my game, because if I’m not no one else can do it for me. My business relies very heavily on me, so with that in mind I took headed out for a massage.

I love massages and if ever I go to a spa as a treat it’s always a massage that I go for over all other treatments.

For this one I went to one of my fav salons , The Powder Room in Washington and had a Matis Age massage, which is the sports style massage from the range of 4 that they offer, and it was bloody lush!

It was a real good mix of deep massage (which was ace for my ever tight traps and runners legs) and relaxation (I feel asleep by the end-I think I woke myself up with my own snore- how embarrassing).

It included massage for the feet, legs, tummy, back, arms, shoulder and head and therapist Kayleigh used this lovely oil with cranberry in, packed with anti-oxidants, omega 3 to help with anti-aging (I need this since turning 30).

At the end I felt mint! So relaxed and energised, which got me thinking that even if it’s only every other month or even one per quarter, us fitness peeps should be treat in ourselves a bit more and looking after ourselves, because if we don’t then who is going to look after our customers, family and business.

So go for it, get a massage booked in, you deserve it!
