I thought I would take a moment to introduce myself. I am Shelley, a full-time marketeer, a mum to one little lady who is growing fast and a wife to Mr.M.
I am not naturally an outdoorsy kind of a girl, often seeking the comforts my home has to offer, a cup of tea (or glass of gin), a film and my knitting all sound like bliss to me! This year though we have all embarked on a mission to be a little more active as well as being more outdoorsy, fighting the natural instinct to stay on the sofa.
I thought I would share my journey here, more for a way to look back at the achievements. I will be sharing the walks and the outdoorsy activities we do, often as a family. We have a little caravan (named Daphne, have no idea where we plucked that name from) that helps us get out into the country and spend time together in the great outdoors.
My little family lives in North Lincolnshire, not many hills around here! We have access to lots of beautiful countryside just on our doorstep (well about an hour away!). We are close to the peak district, Yorkshire dales & the north Yorkshire moor.
We started walking early 2017 with an occasional outing but as the year has gone on we have made more of an effort. I started couch to 5k at the end of July and now I run 3 times a week when I can. The more we do the more we want to do. We have found the best stress relief is being outdoorsy.
Being outdoorsy is addictive! Follow me on Instagram @beingoutdoorsy where I post pictures of my activity.
