Gutted but still fighting!

Posted on June 12, 2022 by Lynn

For months now, as many of you are aware,  I’ve been building up my running, I’ve been pleased with my progress, getting myself up to a good time, initially with my 5km runs, and then when I smashed a 10km. I wanted to prove I could do this, not only because I’ve entered a 10km run […]

Out of the comfort zone!

Posted on May 22, 2022 by Lynn

Wow! Now that was a day like no other. Yesterday I truly became ‘master of my fate’ and ‘captain of my soul’ as I journeyed so far out of my comfort zone and undertook a challenge like no other: the ice bath! Why? Why? You might well ask! Why do I push myself further and […]

WHM – what’s that?

Posted on May 12, 2022May 12, 2022 by Lynn

A couple of years ago a good friend told me that he’d discovered the Wim Hof method of immersing himself in a barrel of cold water each day. He then took this to daily dips in the River Goyt and to lakes and rivers in Snowdonia. As many of you know, I’ve followed Joe Wicks […]

Tractors and coffee

Posted on May 12, 2022 by Lynn

It has been a while since I’ve written here and that’s mainly because life has been busy and life has been changing. I will admit that the first few months, after leaving Parish ministry in December, were tough. It was most definitely, a bereavement added of course to the fact that my dad died. It […]

Accountability

Posted on March 6, 2022 by Lynn

This  week I have called upon the help of a friend. For weeks now I have struggled with my own fitness programme. I’ve not managed to keep the discipline of the past. I know that the moving house, retiring from my role as Parish Priest and the death of my dad has played a huge […]

Persist, persist, persist

Posted on March 6, 2022 by Lynn

Persist, persist, persist. Why these words? Why threefold? I haven’t written for several weeks – it has been a difficult time personally, with the mixed emotions surrounding the death of my dad and the self-given task of conducting his funeral. Those who have read my ‘Secrets’ pages will understand why I could not listen to […]

A lifelong legacy of music

Posted on January 23, 2022 by Lynn

When I was aged nine, I was given an old piano. It was so old that it still had the holes where the candelabra had been fixed. It was given to me by a man I knew as ‘Grandad’, but who was no relation, he was actually my dad’s friend’s  father. His wife had died […]

Running again, Pounding again, Spinning again

Posted on January 14, 2022 by Lynn

This week I launched in with my first 5km run of 2022. I also led my first two POUND classes of the year. It’s been good to get moving again and it’s been good to get out of my own head. What I mean by that is that the sheer concentration on the movement alongside […]

Light in the darkness

Posted on January 14, 2022 by Lynn

Last night I received a message which simply read: Lynn Boyle blog. I don’t know the context in which it was written but it has prompted me to pick up my iPad today! It’s true to state that the past two weeks have not quite been the start to 2022 I’d been expecting. Instead of […]

Where is God in all this?

Posted on January 3, 2022 by Lynn

What a rollercoaster of emotions! What a Christmas and New Year! I will not forget you 2021/22! I do think that for the majority of the population Christmas and New Year 21/22 will be remembered in one word: Omicron! I’m afraid this will far outweigh any preaching we might have offered about Our Lord God […]
