Stupidly late easy 5km. Tomorrow needs to be an early morning run. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #RunuptoChristmas #keepgoing #running #laterun #tired
Legorunbuddy hanging from Christmas lights in my front porch. The lights thread in to a big paper star with a crochet spider on them, yes its still there from Halloween. The stars were hung last Christmas and have stayed up all year... so... Legorunbuddy held between forefinger and thumb behind you can see lounge window with Christmas lights. You can only make out the dark shape of Legorunbuddy as its late at night and she is silhouette against the window.

A tired 10km, a walk & then some yoga/pilates whilst shivvying kids. Sometimes running is a head battle but it reminds us we can do hard things. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #eatonpark #morningmiles #stillgoing
Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten at a different spot in the park. Its meant to be a water feature but in 25 years of it being there I can count on one hand the amount of times it has ever been turned on. Its a shame because the kids love it when it is. Silly selfie, high vis vest, head torch as it was proper dark in the park. Doing a V for victory sign and sticking my tongue out. Yoga/pilayes by light of Christmas tree. You can see sofa, swing and window in background as well as lights on television shelves where the advent buckets hang. Garmin screenshot of today's activities. Run 10.15km, walk 3.29km and 21 mins yoga.

Parkrun. Number 18 this year & back to Eaton, which for some reason had become anxiety inducing. It was fine today, well nervous on the way but fine once I was there. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #running #legorunbuddy#legorunkitten #eatonpark #parkrun
Screenshot of garmin run map of parkrun today.. ave pace 5:21 min per km. Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten by the pond before parkrun. The trees are reflecting on the water. The sky is bright, its a cold, crisp morning. The boating lake after parkrun. There are model sailboats on the water, the sun is shining. The sails and trees reflecting on the water. Beautiful winter morning. The boating lake as I arrived at the park before parkrun. No boats, the sun still rising,Its peaceful, still, no people. Just beautiful. Ever grateful I live where I do.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten balanced on edge of raised garden bed. The Halloween decorations of a skeleton and gravestone are still in it, I might add some fairy lights. View down end of road at end of my run. Its dark, sky is dusky blue and you can see outlines of trees and houses. Sky on my walk, now the sun is rising the sky is orange and beautiful.

A bit of parkrun tourism today with a friend. New years resolution of at least one parkrun a month complete in 2025 complete. Parkrun 120 run, almost at 250 volunteer credits so not a bad ratio there. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #parkrun #running
My parkrin finish token and legorunbuddy in the palm of my hand at the end of parkun, you can see my volunteer wristband too. Had to do a selfie with friends at the welcome sign as it was first time for us all running this course. I made my friend wear a tutu in honour of her 97th different parkrun location, she is trying to get to 100 different parkruns. I have only done 6? But it has inspired me to try and get to a few more Norfolk ones at least.

Chilly 5 miles. Still shorts weather but icy enough to make me nervous. Home to wake the birthday girl. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #eatonpark #tired #keepgoing #birthday
The view from top of the steps over the pond at Eaton park, looking to the left. Lights reflecting on the water. Dark morning sky, its very still. Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten at the top of the steps by the pond with the bandstand behind. The bandstand is lit against the dark sky. Half a selfie, looking down at my feet. In black shorts with neon stars and purple brooks though they are filthy. You can just make out a bit of my shadow. Our dining room table with presents ready for birthday girl the Elves are there too. There is a happy birthday banner behind the table and fairy lights are on.

5 miles easy tired running this evening. Enjoying the much needed joy of Christmas lights. Misty kitten wondering what all the fuss is about after she spilt water on the advent jigsaw. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #Christmas #blackcats #keepgoing
A view up the road, on the right a bush covered in pretty lights. Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on a garden wall. Behind there are lights wrapped around a tree and lights on fence behind that. The garden wall has moss growing. Legorunbuddy on another garden wall, with a bush to the left and stretching out behind. It is covered in Christmas lights. Misty kitten curled up in the dining room table. She is half on the advent jigsaw. Days 1-3 have been made but the jigsaw is now on a microfiber cloth as she spilt water on it. She is looking up at the camera as if to say "what"

10km including a km of hill repeats... sort of fun... it was beautiful at marshes at least. But running past a high school at school kick out time was not my best plan. Anyway RunuptoChristmas day 2 done. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #hillrepeats #keepgoing
View from the Broadwalk over the marshes the sun is beginning to set there is a dog walker in the distance. The hill on Marston lane. A bit slippy with all the leaves. Sort of enjoyed sprinting up.... I did beat a cyclist.. the path is muddy, trees either side and a car park go the right. A wall post painted as a snowman. This house near me does this every year, they have 4 of these wall post with round bits on top painted white and in December they paint snowperson faces and put scarves on them. Its brilliant. They also have an amazing yellow front door. Legorunbuddy between my thumb and forefinger cows behind slightly blurry on the marshes

Better late than not at all. Steady 4 miles to look off Run up to Christmas... I have said it online so I have to do it now & tbh I need a bit of extra motivation at the moment. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #Christmaslights #runuptoChristmas #running #keepgoing
Garmin map stats of my run this evening r miles at 5:40min per km pace. There were also 45mph winds.. which were not my friend! Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on a garden wall.

New Christmas lights, 5 big stars and 6 rows of hanging little stars all lit up in primary colours. The advent jigsaw, day one built. A slightly creepy looking cat in a basket.

A run to & then tail duties at junior parkrun hitting my weekly mileage just. All the tired and slightly grumpy today. Enjoying this song & rest of the album when doing yoga/pilates at the moment. Really needing to let go. #running2keepthecrazyaway #forgotlegorunbuddy #tailwalking #juniorparkrun
Me in running shorts, long sleeve top and orange high vis vest for junior parkrun. Also wearing a pink and purple tail. I am stood on field by the parkrun flag.

5.5 miles as thats all I had time for. That run was horrible, a real life feels hard, running feels hard run or maybe not hard but just bleurgh. Anyway still glad I got out. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles #keepgoing #getitdone
View of the bandstand from the playpark side of Eatonpark. This is the finish funnel for Eaton junior parkrun. We are so lucky to have this. Same view with legorunbuddy and legorunkitten.

When the boiler breaks again less than 24hrs after it was fixed the choices are cry or go for a run. So 5.5 run miles in the rain it was. Gently as still recovering from the 🤮🤢 on thursday. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #keepgoing
