Phew.....at last some respite from some unseasonably warm and humid days. I do hope you have stayed safe, well and hydrated of course.

I have to say I enjoyed a very lovely early morning training run last Friday, before it got too warm - the sunrise was just beautiful. It's so quiet at that time of day too, and such a joy to be out there in the cool of the morning air. I was joined by running club member Jacqui Brown with whom I'll be running the Windsor Half Marathon later this month.

A reminder that the Annual Willow 10km, 5km and family fun run event takes place at beautiful Hatfield House on Sunday 8th October. So whether you are a fast walker, a gentle jogger or striving for a personal best they would love to have you on the team taking part.

We managed a full timetable of classes last week, that were adapted somewhat due to the weather to be safe, but still effective and fun - well done all!

Remember classes can be booked up to 6 weeks in advance, so you can diarise your fitness or book alternative classes if you can't make your regular session.

I always love ( and much appreciate) members introducing their friends to classes.

I am also always very aware that the first class for someone can be pretty daunting, as well as there being a degree of self consciousness when taking part. There is always a warm welcome and words of encouragement to put them at ease from the start. Then to be rewarded at the end of the session with that smile of achievement and enjoyment and very often surprise - knowing they managed to do the class - I love my job as much as ever and new and returning members are always so welcome to try any of my classes FREE.

I am so very excited to at last be able to confirm the new Come Alive Now VIRTUAL Retreat that I will be hosting online with Janet Thomson this November.

Placebo Diet Author Janet has created the programme for online based on the success of her brilliant Colour Fast Reset that I have been delivering on over the past few years.

Crème Fraiche (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Then stir through some crème fraiche if desired
Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet on top of the spinach.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken and spinach.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve the chicken and spinach with your choice of side dishes, such as brown rice or more green vegetables .- ENJOY!
