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.
The battle was to get out the door,the minute I did I was ready💪🏼 First one this week, my muscles were tired after Saturday & work overran yesterday 🙄Happy with that 3 weeks off my asthma meds,looking forward to tomorrows tests to establish baseline & new drugs regime #BluseskyRunning #RebelliousHope

Late this afternoon a visit to Bishop’s Hide paid off @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social NWT Cley, North Norfolk. A Snipe more likely Common than Jack although both have been seen in recent days.It spent ages feeding in good view on the edge of the pool @btoengland.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social

The weather has been miserable today. I had a lazy start, got lots of chores done, then had an early dinner & took myself to the cinema to see 🎥 🍿 H is for Hawk. I really enjoyed it, Clare Foy was excellent. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film the day it went on general release before! 🦅

Exciting news - we now have a CHERRY TREE growing outside Orkney Library & Archive! ❤️
Massive thanks to the Orkney Japan Association. It's one of 30 trees planted in #Orkney as part of the #Sakura Cherry Tree Project which aims to plant 10,000 cherry trees across the UK. 🌸🌸🌸

After a tough day at work I had to have a word with myself to get out. 😬Despite 12 days off my mild asthma meds (nurse instructed) I feared the impact & this is my longest run since NYD #SelfDoubt I’m pleased with that 🤩 #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning

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

I hate wearing read so rather than a t-shirt to celebrate my 50th #Parkrun last week I opted for socks 🧦 they were waiting when I got home from today’s run 🏃♀️ They feel comfy. #BlueskyRunning

A productive evening thus far.Behold my toilet roll holder 🤩 5 years 1 month 1 week I’ve lived here and never had one 🤣 also put up the towel ring and the new light pull. #GirlWithAToolbox #ThisGirlCan Admittedly the bathroom was the last room to be refurbished last year.

5 years ago today was the last time we had any significant snowfall ❄️ here. It hung around for a week, seeing it on the beach was slightly surreal. ⛄️

Day off today & I wanted a run but with biblical rain forecast I thought I’d try the treadmill, not the most inspiring view but I did it & then had a gentle 1/4 in the very quiet pool 🏊 followed by a lovely relaxing steam room & spa pool session 🥰 #BlueskyRunning #RebelliousHope

So pleased to have got back out there, miles 2 & 3 felt tough the overall result isn’t too bad.Unsurprisingly a little tough not helped by the heat I was definitely overdressed!It’s still a little odd just running & not having a training plan telling you what to do.
