Run 111 of 2025 done ✅WFH lunchtime 40mins in the warm sunshine.
I felt like it was so slow & you can match the pace to the hills!
Mind you I also was knocked over by a car so that put me off my stride a little.
Nevermind, it is what it is
Have a great afternoon 🏃🏻♂️😊

It’s my eldest son’s 21st birthday.
Around this time, 21 years ago I was probably just changing his first nappy.
He was born by emergency section after a very long & arduous labour. Everyone was exhausted.
He has grown up to be a wonderful man & makes me proud everyday 🥰♥️

Good morning lovely phone people.
Off early again down to HQ, to deliver a 2 day training course. It’s going to be a bit of a slog especially after a late night.
Hope you all have a great Tuesday, remember tits & teeth whether you’re feeling it or not! All the best Grumps 😊

Blowy Saturday run to see November in.
The gutters were littered with discarded packets of Parma Violets. Clearly not the sweet of choice for the kids of the middle of nowhere. Can’t really blame them though.
