Quick are you scrolling? You could just read a book for five or ten minutes and at the end you will feel so much better 🥰

A major reason for visiting Scotland last weekend was tracing my family history - going to places where @tabisw.bsky.social had tracked my paternal grandmother’s life and family. It was a very special experience. ALT text explains images.

South West parkrun - Tiverton (called Impey Walk at Knighthayes) starts this week. Strong rumours that Perranporth, Penzance, and Crediton are coming soon too. 👀

Exciting to collect my “Q” #parkrun on Saturday at Queen’s in Glasgow. A lovely lapped route (hilly yes but down as well as up) with the utter cherry and icing on top being a catch up with the fabulous @doktorg.bsky.social who I first ran with in 2017 as part of my #PeoplePowerRun.

Interested to hear what you think of Cockington Court. Bit tricky for me to get to but as a “local” one it’s been added to the list. Queen’s in Glasgow for me this weekend.

15-20 years ago I was doing loads of community engagement in various roles in the criminal justice system. This July I found myself brushing off “chat to everybody” skills with a team on an Expo Booth. We blogged about what we learned on that experience: connectedbydata.org/blog/2026/09...

This is is the face of my incredible wife that gave up her whole day to support me on my ultramarathon including standing out in driving wind and rain. Thank you @tabisw.bsky.social, my love ❤️

Not when you have little legs and have run over a marathon already 😉 I’m a fan of stiles and the access they promote generally - just not in a running context 😆

Ham to Lyme 50K: completed in 8hrs 28mins. Here’s my experience: www.facebook.com/share/r/19VS... And a final plea. If you’ve been waiting to “pay on delivery” now’s the time to sponsor me to make this all worthwhile & support the Jane Tomlinson Appeal. www.justgiving.com/page/emily-2... (1/2)

There was lots of stile related grumbling

Ive never done that 10K - the half is hillier than expected (the bit around Saltram). But nothing will be as hilly as Torbay! 😉

Emily Macaulay @emilyjmacaulay.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Well done! Yeah Torbay is tough. Bristol is lovely if you fancy a jaunt. Exeter is pancake flat along the river. Avoid Taunton.

Today I completed the 50K ultramarathon (31 miles) in 8 hours 28minutes, raising money for Jane Tomlinson Appeal. More details tomorrow but in one word - brutal. You can still donate/sponsor me: www.justgiving.com/page/emily-2...

Training may not have gone to plan this week but my final compression therapy session, before the ultramarathon tomorrow, is blissful.

Tabitha has been doing some of my family history & requested a copy of my 2 x great grandfather’s marriage certificate. Holding it last night I was struck by how it would never have crossed his mind that 140 years later someone (his descendent) would be excitedly reading “just the bit of paper”.

Emily Macaulay @emilyjmacaulay.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

That’s understandable. It’s not hard to believe in you - you’re focused and strong and determined. Your knees may wobble at the start but you’ll find the stride and smash it 💪

It got me thinking on how agenda structures have been a important part of how @connectedbydata.org developed For example, our weekly(ish) confab agenda looks like this: check in; time to populate agenda in meeting; closes with reflection from outside work: building connection for remote team (2/3

Found an Edward 7th postbox on last night’s stroll. Trying to calculate (without looking anything up) where a Victorian one may be 🤔

As long as I don’t actually need to use my legs or brain today … I’m fine after yesterday’s marathon. Sure my legs are stiff, sure I’m tired to the bone. But I’m not yet giving up running and taking up knitting as I suggested I may at around mile 24.
