Relieved to have got round the Kielder Marathon in one piece yesterday, and to (miraculously after the last few weeks) have finished a bit faster than last year too. It really is a beautiful but relentlessly hilly race! The joint care supplements in the finishers bag were very apt... 😅

Bank holiday activities included catching up with @beardydylan.bsky.social while he's visiting from Canada (lovely to get a copy of his PhD thesis too - I'm a very proud supervisor! 😊), and painting the front door and garage to brighten up the house a bit... I think it looks better?! 😬🖌️🩵

Big shout-outs also to three brilliant female scientists who were presented with IGS awards during the symposium... Dorthe Dahl-Jensen who received the Seligman Crystal, @icymatters.bsky.social who received the Firn Award, and @iceybethan.bsky.social who received the Richardson Medal. 🥂

Reflecting back on how enjoyable it was to host the @igsoc.bsky.social Symposium here at @geogdurham.bsky.social. A big thank you to everyone who attended, presented and contributed to organisation! It was lovely to see so many friendly faces and to hear about some fantastic glaciological science! ❄️

Excited to have started a new role as Co-Director of the IHRR. I'll be developing my work on environmental risk, hazards and water security in glacial environments, while fostering new cross-sector collaborations and supporting others with their own research ideas.

I might not have come home with a finisher's medal this year but Islay suits the Lakeland 100 race buff and is happily providing cuddles! 🐾❤️🤣

Apparently organizing a symposium and finishing Lakeland 100 don't mix... my first DNF. Not enough rest or the right food over the week, conference dinner the night before the race, lots of nausea, and bad feet from the wet conditions. It just wasn't going to happen this time, but I gave it a shot!

Last long run before Lakeland 100 in two weeks - what a scorcher it is today. 🥵 I guess I could call it 'heat training' in case it ends up being similarly toasty during Lakeland! I've had too much going on lately to fully think about the race, but the excitement (and fear!) is starting to kick in! 😬

Is there anything more joyful than a dog rolling in the grass in the sun? 🥰 (unless fox poo or a dead animal is involved! 🤣)

Lovely surprise from one of my dissertation students today... 🪴 A little boost during a very busy and challenging few weeks, and good to know I'm doing an okay job (because, like many people in academia, I often question that)! 🫶

Can't remember when I last sat outside and read a book, but I don't think I'm good for much else today! An absolute scorcher at the end of a long week.

Islay is living her best labradoodle life - on the sofa, under a blanket, head on cushion, watching her favourite TV programme... #springwatch. She even recognises the theme song. Seriously! A contender for the biggest non-human fan of @chrisgpackham.bsky.social & co?!🐾💚 @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social
