Got out just before the rain started for a run. Still the odd icy patch but so good to not be on treadmill. Saw a fox! Then a quick ice bath dip & some yoga before bed. It is belting down now. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #icebath #unwind #keepgoing
Screenshot of garmin showing evening activities, 7km run at 5:40 per km pace. Just over 5 mins in ice bath and then a little yoga & stretch before bed. Selfie at the end of my run. Holding up lego runbuddy in front of my face. Its dark, the road is wet behind me. Selfie just as I am about to get in ice bath. I am wearing a floral bikini top and big rainbow bobble hat. I have fingerless gloves on and am holding a cup of tea.

Ugh losing it. Managed an easy 20 minutes on treadmill & then an ice bath at stupid time this evening to try & reset. Appointments, emails, admin, necessary & needed endings along with an added (expected) diagnosis. All the feels today. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #icebath ##blackcats #tired
Legorunbuddy floating in melted ice puddle on the lid of my ice bath. Kitten cuddles, Misty curled up on my chest she has her front paws stretched out into my face. I am wearing a Lucy and yak hoodt in turquoise and my glasses. Leaning back on my bed Rainbow footpath at the hospital you can see my left leg and the right leg of person next to me and our shadows. A screenshot of a running meme it says are you running for time of distance.. the reply is respectfully I am running from my kids... tbf its not them its life...

10km on treadmill & ice bath dip this evening. Got out for a walk with kids earlier. The joys of endless roadworks for the next 7 weeks too... #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #treadmill #icebath #riseeveryday
The thrilling view i have on the treadmill its inside the shed/outhouse which is sort of a brick built outbuilding and previous owners liked the wooden sauna style wall cladding. So you can see the treadmill control panel and the wall with wooden cladding. Garmin stats showing 2 walks, totalling 3 miles, a 10km treadmill run and then ice bath dip. Selfie as I get in the ice bath at 10pm again.. I am wearing a pastel beanie hat, a crop top style bikini top, in pink and black and black bikini shorts. The inside of the ice bath is white and you can see thermometer behind in the water. Roadworks. Lots of street cones and temporary fencing surrounding diggers and other construction vehicles. The road is covered in snow.

Treadmill run after I went for a walk & realised the paths are just an ice rink. Trip to the pantomime with small & M. Joined by son 2 & partner, her first ever panto as she is from Norway. It took a bit of explaining 🤣 #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #pantomime #family #holidays #fun
Picture of the stage at interval at the pantomime. On stage is Joe Tracini playing Buttons. The screen has a picture of a clock in purples and pinks. You can see spotlights and the audience down towards the stage. Selfie myself in leopard print dungarees, an orange and pink striped top and hair in plaits. Next to me small busy with snack then son 2 in a pink jumper and with long hair that is also pink with his partner. She has on a jumper in red and pink and ling hair with pink highlights. They are smiling at the camera. You can see other audience members behind. M stood on the icy footpaths outside St Peters church in Norwich. There is a light on which illuminating the archways at the entrance to the church. Pretty Christmas lights. These are in square near the market. This was recently revamped, you can see the water feature. The lights change colour and patterns in the picture they are red, orange, pink, purple. Behind the shops and Gentleman's Walk..

New years day parkrun and a wander home. Happy with that, did Catton which is not my home PR & on the 'hilly' side of Norwich. Lots of friendly faces & brilliant way to start the year. Lovely walk home, discovered the best shop. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #parkrun #newyearsday #running
Legorunbuddy being held up between thumb and forefinger infront of Catton parkrun finish token board. When you have scanned you hang your token in the right peg. Legorunbuddy being held up thumb and forefinger in front of wooden bird sculpture. Some graffiti art I spotted on my way home. So beautiful. I think its a little telecoms box? Each side has been painted with wild flowers. The little shop, all the fruit and veg then inside all things imaginable, spices, pulses, lentils wtc and a mini butchers just brilliant I wish it was more local.

Parkrun and a swim. Both felt harder than I would have liked, but glad I did it. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #wildsswim #swimtounwind #selfcare
Legorunbuddy with Marshall, run director at Sloughbottom behind getting ready for briefing. Legorunbuddy in palm of my hand with my finish token. The view along the river at Andersons meadow. A grey morning, water was 5° and it was hard getting in after my run. Post swim selfie.

Christmas eve easy 10km. Chilly in shorts! #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #running #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #Grinch #ChristmasEve
Morning sky purple and blue sunrise. Trees lining the empty road. A massive inflatable grinch outside someone's house. Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on wall of boating lake at Eaton park. Its dark you cant see much, some light reflecting off the water. The view of the boating lake, but windy today so not so still but still a reflection.

Little run before Junior parkrun, tail walking duties this morning joined by M 😍 Then a misty walk by the broad this afternoon before a solstice swim. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #parkrun #wildswim #unwind #dailyjoy #lucky
A groups of us standing together in front of the zip slide. Teenagers & adults of all ages. The volunteers assembled for Christmas junior parkrun. We all have high vis on, wearing Christmas hats. Me with 2 friends by broad, we are all wearing Christmas hats, I am wearing a rainbow coat. Water is behind us. The view from top end of the broad towards the water sports centre and past that there is the city. Its misty there are reeds and trees at the edges of the broad. Selfie as I walked to junior parkrun, I am looking up at the camera wearing a Christmas hat, a rainbow coat and my run up to Christmas t shirt with my Christmas tutu, its decorate like a tree with poms poms, bells and lights.

Stupidly late easy 5km. Tomorrow needs to be an early morning run. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #RunuptoChristmas #keepgoing #running #laterun #tired
Legorunbuddy hanging from Christmas lights in my front porch. The lights thread in to a big paper star with a crochet spider on them, yes its still there from Halloween. The stars were hung last Christmas and have stayed up all year... so... Legorunbuddy held between forefinger and thumb behind you can see lounge window with Christmas lights. You can only make out the dark shape of Legorunbuddy as its late at night and she is silhouette against the window.

A tired 10km, a walk & then some yoga/pilates whilst shivvying kids. Sometimes running is a head battle but it reminds us we can do hard things. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #eatonpark #morningmiles #stillgoing
Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten at a different spot in the park. Its meant to be a water feature but in 25 years of it being there I can count on one hand the amount of times it has ever been turned on. Its a shame because the kids love it when it is. Silly selfie, high vis vest, head torch as it was proper dark in the park. Doing a V for victory sign and sticking my tongue out. Yoga/pilayes by light of Christmas tree. You can see sofa, swing and window in background as well as lights on television shelves where the advent buckets hang. Garmin screenshot of today's activities. Run 10.15km, walk 3.29km and 21 mins yoga.

Selfie at the end of my run. I am holding legorunbuddy up to the camera it obscures my face but you can see my high vis vest and my run up to Christmas t shirt. Plus the bright head torch i am wearing. Bobbles left, Misty right in the windowsill in front porch with 2 hanging star lanterns.

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.
