After a 3 mile warm up to try & convince my legs to work, I did actually thoroughly enjoy pacing today! 😁👍 #parkrun #Running #RunningFitness #RunSky #itsarunnotarace #parkrunisforeveryone

Last night’s #running club strength session, teams of 3 or 2, depending on the exercise & had to hit those numbers jointly! I was ok last night but my legs are battered now & I am pacing at #parkrun 😬 Pacing 34mins, should be comfortable, but walking downstairs wasn’t comfortable this morning!! 🤣

5 miles at a gentle pace, enjoyed it but it still feels so humid - does not feel like 1st October! Came across a rather splendid garden ornament 😁🦜 #Running #RunSky #RunningFitness

Down in the New Forest for a few days staying with relatives, it is so peaceful. Photos from this morning’s walk, Ted just loves it here ☺️

6.5 miles with negative splits 😎 happy with that! Picture of the dog from our walk earlier, as I was not looking too photogenic by the end of that run! 🥵 #Running #RunSky #RunningFitness

Didn’t want to go out this morning but actually really enjoyed it once I got going 👍 (leg is ‘achey sore’ rather than ‘painful sore’ so hopefully not too much to worry about 🤞) Empty park, empty paths & quiet roads ☺️ #Running #RunSky #Runningforcalm

Lovely morning to be out for a steady 4 miles #Running 😁 Met a beautiful, elegant, & rather aloof cat 🐈‍⬛ 🙌 #RunSky #RunningFitness

Three mile recovery run done this morning, took me rather a while, but it was done 👍 #Running #RunSky Glad I went out early though, as when I took Ted for a long walk in the afternoon it was ridiculously hot out there for late September! 🥵

Oops! We intended to walk/run it but ended up running it all instead 😁 Hope my leg will forgive me!! 🤞 Tissington Trail Half marathon, lovely route 👍 #Running #RunSky #LoveRunning

New challenge on the board at my gym tonight… apparently a tricky one for some! 🤔🤣

Six miles out in the lanes with a few hills thrown in! HiViz & chest/head torches needed now for the evening club runs though 😒 #Running #RunSky #chasingthesunset

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I feel much better for that, 7 base miles with a few hills to make it interesting ☺️ #Running #RunSky #Runningforcalm (It’s disgustingly humid out there though today, I feel sorry for anyone racing in this, it feels like you could wring out the air! 🥵)

Walked #parkrun yesterday, & then later we went paddleboarding on the river at Warwick - luckily we finished just before the rain set in 😁 It was great, but not as peaceful as usual as there was a festival going on in Warwick! #loveparkrun #itsarunnotarace #parkrunisforeveryone

Lovely 5 mile chatty run this morning with friends ☺️ Rather concerned about the colour of the canal though after the hot, dry Summer! Been running around this area for six years & never seen it like this 🥺 it’s a massive Duckweed bloom, extends for miles 😬 #Running #RunSky #Runningwithfriends

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Five solo miles out on the trails ☺️ with plenty of free snacks!! #Running #RunSky #LoveTrailRunning

Garmin approved 3 miles @ recovery pace 👍 Legs actually felt okay 😁 - very relieved as I was concerned I might have set the hamstring tendonopathy off again at the weekend but all seems good! #Running #RunSky

At a 24hr running event ‘The Joust’ with my club, each lap is 5.5 miles of stunning trail! 🤩I’m in a team of eight, & am in absolute awe of the solo runners!! 🙌🫡 #Running #RunSky #Runningwithfriends My next lap will be in the dark & I will be walking most/all of it!

Went out for an easy 5k lunch run but felt good so turned it into a progression run instead 😁👍 Ended up at my favourite coffee shop, what are the chances?! 😉 #Running #RunSky #Autumnishere

Fun trail run with my running club tonight, sun seemed to set earlier than anticipated & it felt like a ‘chase the daylight’ run! 😁✨ (We’ll probably get the ‘must wear hi-viz & lights’ order soon 🙄) #Running #RunSky #TrailRunning

Thank you for today’s Guardian cryptic @guineverecryptic.bsky.social plenty to enjoy so far! 😁

Went to the Pershore Plum festival today & obviously had to have a picture with this sign! 🤣 There are stalls, & a classic car show in the grounds of Pershore Abbey☺️ There’s a 10k race for the festival… that’s on next year’s list! (Then went to the gym after two weeks off ill & it was not fun 😬)

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Made it out for a run! 😁👍 Wasn’t sure whether to try or not & so glad I did, I was starting to really feel it (head wise - iykyk) ☺️ #Running #RunSky #loverunning (& my Pink Easter Lily cactus has flowered for the first time 🤩)

After the long dry Summer we’ve had I think Ted is relieved that the mud is back! ☺️

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Picked a heap of apples from our garden yesterday & made a cake 😋 & it is chilly enough for jeans & a jumper today… I think Autumn is pretty much here ☺️

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Thanks for the good luck wishes yesterday, didnt get the job but the feedback was good so 🤞 for the next one! Feeling recovered enough to take Ted out for a half-decent walk, lungs still protesting but i definitely had more energy 👍☺️

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Had an interview for a new job today, it seemed to it go well but it will depend on the other candidates 🤷‍♀️ 🤞 Not the best lead up to it though, haven’t been able to run or swim since Wednesday due to cold/flu 😬 so my head is going slightly askew 🙄

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Five miles run with a sore leg, but the views made up for it! Up in North Wales for a few days ☺️ #Running #RunSky #RhuddlanCastle

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Forgot to pay the Strava tax 🙄 nearly 5 miles run this morning! Had a sore left leg for a few weeks, saw the physio on Fri & it is Sciatic nerve pain apparently. They said I can run & swim- but to take it very steady 👍 #Running #RunSky (The clouds this morning have yet to deliver any actual rain!)

As it’s in Birmingham it would have been rude not to have come along! The atmosphere is fantastic 🤩😁 #EuropeanChampionships #Athletics

Out early to dodge the heat this morning for a 6am run with my running club, 6 steady, chatty miles out & back ☺️ Then it was still cool enough to take the dog to the park 👍🥰 #Running #RunSky

Six weeks with barely a cloud in the sky, & then when there’s a near total solar eclipse in progress… the sky is cloudy! Marvellous 🙄

Lovely club run last night ☺️ We ran up lots of hills and the views were worth every step! Love how #running gets you out into places you might never see 😁 #RunSky #Runningwithfriends #loverunning

Went to the Worcester show yesterday, it was one of those quintessentially British type of events & quite charming! Very tempted to try all the winning cakes though 😋😁 We also finished off making this year’s plum jam… May enter a jar next year! 🤔

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Swimming & gym today, fitted in around work - just! 2000m breaststroke at lunchtime, then core & arms work at the gym 👍 Temperatures are about to go up again, 3 days over 31 degrees forecast 😬 planning to run tomorrow evening but will see how humid it is!

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Went to an inaugural #parkrun this morning! 🎉👍 It was a brilliant course, & really well organised 👍 Will definitely be back as it is our next closest after our local one 😁 #loveparkrun #itsarunnotarace #parkrunisforeveryone

The plums at our local community orchard are ready & our first batch of jam is underway! ☺️

Club track session in the sunshine! 😁 ‘Meet & greets’ - 300m efforts aiming for 5kish pace & walking recoveries 👍 Enjoyed that! #Running #RunSky

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

One of ‘those’ trail runs today, when everything feels great & you feel free & joyful! 😁 Staying with relatives in Yorkshire, so it may be hilly but the scenery is spectacular! #Running #LoveTrailRuns #RunSky

What a perfect afternoon for paddleboarding 👌☺️ It was so peaceful out on the water, with just enough wind to make it interesting/challenging for us!

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Pond at our local park has disappeared completely again this Summer! Ted was confused, but enjoyed choosing from the abundance of sticks at the bottom of the pond!

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Followed Garmin’s suggestion today and ran 4 miles at base pace. No calf pain 👍 no hamstring pain 👍 so feeling very happy! 😊 #Running #RunSky #RunningFitness

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Went swimming here today, there is a 750m course round the edge marked out by buoys , did two laps. I’ve only played around when swimming outside before & have two observations.. 1 I need better goggles 🤣 2 Swimming is much harder work when I can’t push & glide off the side every 25 or 50m 😬 #tired

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Plan was to walk from Symonds Yat to Monmouth, but one mile in I decided to test out my calf & all was good! 😁😁 Lovely run & accidental negative splits! & I had a backpack full of drinks & snacks & general stuff 👍 #Running #RunSky

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

On a quick trip in the camper to do some walking & hopefully paddle boarding… rather tempted to relocate though, this tower is for sale & would be fabulous! 😁

Picture from yesterday evening’s walk featuring… gathering rain clouds! We had rain last night 🙌🎉🌧️

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Tried swimming with a leg float this afternoon… it went ok, calf didn’t hurt at all & I felt much better for doing some cardio ☺️ Mostly swam 100m front crawl intervals, & did 10 sets 👍

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Lovely relaxed walk for #parkrun & catch up with friends, followed by breakfast in the sunshine! 😋 #parkrunisforeveryone #ItsaRunnotaRace #loveparkrun

After weeks with no PT for our running club strength sessions, the gym owner took the class tonight… By this time tomorrow I doubt I will be able to move, it was brutal! 😬😫 The smiles are sheer relief it was over 😁

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Not been able to run or swim since Sunday due to calf strain, trying not to spiral into too foul a mood 😬 Hoping to try a swim tomorrow using a leg float - just to get some cardio! Been out for some lovely dog walks though, picked heaps of blackberries, & met an abandoned but cheerful chair 😁

Laura @laurasy.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Would have enjoyed this morning’s run more if my left calf hadn’t cramped three miles in 🥺 Hoping it was a one off - it’s not an issue I’ve really had before so 🤞 Went for coffee afterwards & watched a group of guys sailing their model boats ⛵️☺️ #Running #RunSky #Runningwithfriends
