Essex by birth Norfolk at heart, I love the great outdoors, enjoy walking 🥾, amateur 📸 , volunteer locally, progressing well with 🏃♀️ Couch to 10K & most likely at Parkrun on a Saturday morning.
After an unusually disturbed sleep it would’ve been easy to give in to weariness. Mile 3 was tough-an exposed area with a strong SW head wind.It was a little slower than my pace of late but I don’t care,so glad I went.Great to get out in daylight & run some favourite trails 🥰 #RebelliousHope #C210K

This evenings run - Week 11/14 Day 3/3 another week of my #C210K programme completed ✅ 🤩 The weather was cool & breezy but dry except for the 5 min cooldown walk. I enjoyed that, it’s feeling more natural & comfortable. My pace is slowly / steadily improving 💪🏼 #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning

After a daft conversation & bet at work I was challenged to bake a lemon drizzle cake😬 Frankly I’d rather go & do #Parkrun again in the rain but never one to not at least try to rise to a challenge. Any guinea pigs 🐹 out there are welcome to a slice in exchange for honest feedback. #IAmNotABaker

I wasn’t feeling it today 🤷🏻♀️😔 It was cool,windy & the rain started just before 0900hrs. We’ve a lovely woodland trail #Parkrun I opted for my high miles reliable old trail shoes for the addition of mud & heavy leaf mulch. I’m so glad I went. Surprised when the results arrived - a new course PB 🥳🤩💪🏼

It’s been a beautiful cold 🥶, still, dry day up here on the North Norfolk coast. The light on and over the marshes was just gorgeous in the run up to sunset this afternoon.

The weather this weekend is looking very mixed…why not pop along to Great Walsingham Barn have a mooch (it’s a lovey space for this exhibition), & have a chat to James. He has prints & books on sale too. There’s even a lovely cafe next door what’s not to like.🫖 🧁 Tomorrow is cinnamon bun Saturday 🤤

Exhilarating, never has a run felt so good, I feel alive 🤩🌡️ 5 degrees, a NNW 23mph wind gusting 28 mph sitting on the back of the incoming tide. There was rain, a long hailstorm & showers from the North Sea 🌊 I absolutely smashed that, it felt comfortable & I felt strong 💪🏼

Good morning from Sheringham, North Norfolk. High tide was just after 0500 hrs, a couple of hours prior to these. A gorgeous fresh winter’s morning the wind has eased a little from yesterday and is now a Westerly. #CoastLife

That wasn’t the plan,probably tried to cram too much in today but a run is better than no run.The stats make no sense to how horrible & difficult that felt.I hate quitting😡 #C210K On an aside I’m sitting in the garden in vest top & shorts mid November,this isn’t good,it’s too warm & midges are out.

I decided to have a change of scenery & went to Holkham #Parkrun today. It felt truly awful, despite this I got a new Parkrun PB‼️ -27s I didn’t find the course that inspiring, grateful to all the #Volunteers well organised. I’ve now completed 43 events & V43
