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.

Tired this morning, so easy run then 2 miles walk before getting on. Admin, reviews, and appointments whilst also juggling kids. #runuptochristmas #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #morningmiles
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.

10km in the drizzle, a chatty, moany run, rather last minute but much needed. And I have hit 1000 running miles for the year. ##running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #1000miles #runwithfriends #runningintherain #uea #keepgoing
Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten in front of a bridge at UEA broad. Its grey and wet. Silly selfie with running friend in front of UEA broad. Running friend posing with the mirage 1 and mirage 2 the sculptures by the broad. I think they look like ostriches without heads or brains on legs... anyway they are cool. The broad behind and friend stood in between them. Strave running stats the year to today. 1610.2km so just over 1000 miles. Happy with that. Spot where i have had injuries/annoying asthma/been ill.

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
The view from bandstand over the pond towards the bridge at Eaton park. Its grey, its raining. The park is still always soothing though. Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten with the pond at Eaton park behind.

Silly selfie with my run buddy, met her at 2.5 miles and ran together til 5 miles then each headed off in opposite directions. I am swearing and she is doing a peace sign.

Better late than not at all. Progressive 8km with slightly niggly lungs. Peak flow is quite low so suprised at how ok the pace felt tbh. A wander with small earlier for a bit of daily joy. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #keepgoing #eveningrun #smallchildlife

The smugness of a runner thats got 10,000 steps done before 6:30am. I cant check off my ten minutes of sunlight yet though 😂 and having to use my headtorch in the house rather than turn on lights & risk waking kids. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles #smug
Selfie at the end of my run. Cold enough for long sleeve top though i shoved my sleeves up. Still in shorts its dark. Street view. Dark blue morning skies, outlines of trees either side of the road.

Better late than never, an easy four miles and then 20 mins of yoga before bed. Tested out part of a new running route as one of my running friends has moved house so we cant do our usual route together. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #easyeveningrun #keepgoing
Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten at a nee run meet point. Standing on the railings by a crossing. Its dark you can just make out the road and crossing behind. Silly sweary selfie. I have a high vis vest and headtorch on. My hair is in a pony tail, my garmin and parkrun wristband on my left wrist which is the hand that is sticking up my middle finder to the endless admin that is dealing with SEND system. You can see the shadow of railings next to me and you can just see legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on the railings. #Still standing.

Oof nearly didnt do that, but got M off to school & small was still asleep so 30 mins strength. Strength is never my favourite, but I can feel the difference that consistent strength training is making & I like feeling stronger. It helps mentally too. #strength #dothethings #legorunbuddy
