Lindsey Fitness News - 27th April 2023 - Job Done!

Published: Thu, 04/27/23

Mission completed .......Last Sunday was London Marathon Day, and what a day indeed!

Over 50.000 runners pounding 26.2 miles of our capital city with just one thought in mind - to cross the finish line!

Weeks and miles of training in all weathers, fund raising and mindset all came to this point on the day.

Another fantastic achievement for 7 Lindsey Fitness Running Club Members 'either in London or doing it virtually closer to home. We were as ever supported throughout by fellow members as the miles clocked up. The London runners were off early to the start at 6.30am on the Garden City Runners Coach which took us directly to Blackheath where the masses were gathered ahead of the greatest Marathon in the world. LFRC members Marianne Lowne (National Autistic Society) , Peter Aubusson, (CRUK) Susie Evershed (Oli Mills Foundation) and myself were joined by fellow Isabel Hospice Runners Jamie Stevenson running his 5th London Marathon and Dan Walker doing his first. Everyone completed safely and incredibly well it has to be said.

Peter in 4 hours 57 mins, Marianne in 5 hours 8 mins, Susie in 6 hours 3 mins, Dan in 4 hours 54 mins and Jamie in 5 hours 5 mins. Our virtual participants Fiona Stracey completed in 7.00 hours and Sue Coveney in 6 hours 45 mins.

Birthday Girl Jackie Nott did her Marathon around and across London as the same time as supporting our runners on route - how amazing was that

For myself, my 15th marathon went not quite as planned due to a calf injury early on at mile 3. But after some first aid I was thankfully able to continue and enjoyed a hugely exhilarating powerwalk to the finish in 5 hours 22 mins. It is said there is no other Marathon in the world quite like London, the route, the crowds, the noise, the atmosphere. Running for Charity and seeing all the other participants doing so too, willing each other on, some with very personal reasons for doing so is as humbling as it is unifying. I was only reduced to tears when Kirrie called and told me my fundraising for Isabel Hospice was almost at 3k - double what I set out to do just 15 weeks ago. At the time of this newsletter it is now at £3,305 !!!! My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has donated and or helped me in someway to do this. Your emails and messages have also helped and encouraged me no end these past weeks. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

30 Minute Easy Grilled Chicken & Vegetables

INGREDIENTS

For the marinade

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
4 garlic cloves crushed
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
black pepper to taste

For grilling

4 large chicken breasts skinless & de boned
2 bell peppers seeds removed and sliced into strips
broccoli
12-16 spears asparagus woody ends trimmed
2-3 large zucchini/courgette sliced into thick slices

METHOD

Pre-heat the grill/griddle pan.

Season the chicken with salt and allow to sit while you make the marinade.

Combine all the marinade ingredients and mix well. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and the other half over the vegetables. Allow to marinade for a few minutes.

Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until cooked to your preference. Remove from the grill, cover with foil and allow to rest while you grill the vegetables.

Grill the vegetables until they are starting to char and are cooked to your preference.

Remove from the grill and serve with the chicken and lemon wedges for squeezing - ENJOY!
