Essex by birth Norfolk at heart, I love the great outdoors, enjoy walking 🥾, amateur 📸 , volunteer locally. Completed Couch to 10K & raced NYD 🏅 most likely at Parkrun on a Saturday morning.
While still feeling flat after yesterdays run I was updating my spreadsheet 🤓 with events and realised I came first in my age category at this one 🥳 #LittleWins #Parkrun
It was pacer day at a neighbouring #Parkrun today. Muddy & slippy in places, tough going. Managed to stick to the 33 min pacer for 2 miles. Bless him he saw me after & said he’ll do 34 min pacer next month & help me aim for a PB #Volunteers #BeKind #RebelliousHope @parkrunuk.bsky.social

A lovely morning for it:slight breeze, dry,mild & some ☀️ Quite honestly I wanted less that my NYD 10K but having given my head a good wobble this isn’t bad.Slightly disorganised start & I went off too fast,liked the course I’ll happily do it again.I want better so will keep training. #RebelliousHope

A good meal,well hydrated, chilled evening,kit & breakfast etc all laid out ready…I curled up in bed ready to sleep.I woke in the early hours dreaming that despite being in the right place at the right time I’d missed the start of the race by exactly 15 mins!🏃♀️Wide awake since 0530 hrs!🙄 #Anxiety

When you get a random message from someone you sort of know at run club asking if you want a lift with her & 2 of the other ladies who I don’t know at all to the race Sunday - those are the sort of ladies I want in my life 🥰 #Teamwork

The plan to finish work a bit early & get a decent half trail 5K in daylight was thwarted 🤨 Instead I got pavements in darkness as the driving sleet 🌧️❄️ started.I pushed for the hills on the second mile.I’m buzzing, that was great, I think I need my head examining 🤣🤪🏃♀️💪🏼 #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning

Today is #WorldCancerDay a day dedicated to raising awareness.
1 in 2 of us will get cancer.
A cancer diagnosis is devastating,changes your life forever,it need not define you,it’s a lonely place.
It’s so much more than a medical diagnosis.

A really lovely afternoon catching up / putting the world to rights with a very dear friend. Not a huge fan of steam rolled teacakes but a nice spot. We then had a lovely walk along the prom / beach / pier & at 1700hrs as we parted ways it was still daylight 🥳 #Friendship
