A wee bit of #Parkrun tourism for me today. Up with the bearded dude for a (very) leisurely #HolyroodParkrun (and it’s his 25th Parkrun 🎉)

Parkrun volunteering this morning, thought it was time to give back as I’ve run my local course for the last 6 weeks. Hopefully my rent-a-gob style of marshalling wasn’t too off putting 😂😂😂 #Parkrun #EnthusiasticVolunteer

Apologies for dodgy screen grab but, I find this really disappointing from a Green councillor. I use my bike to get around this area and I hugely appreciate the changes that have been made to keep me safe. #Camden #CamdenCycling #Byelection #CamdenGreens #cycling

Another Saturday and despite my body saying ‘ah heck no’ I went to #Parkrun A little faster than last week’s time but that’s because I slimmed down the walk breaks. I didn’t tell my long suffering husband this until we got home 😂 Huge thanks to the volunteers this week 🧡

Honestly I do actually run on non #ParkRun days… problem is I really like stopping and taking photos too 😂

#Parkrun done. Course is 5km, my watch said I ran 4.99, my Strava says 4.98 😂😂😂 Nearly died again. Hills aren’t getting easier but had some juice left to run to the finish! Huge thanks to all the Parkrun volunteers 🧡

Progress is finally being made, wonky thyroid/perimenopause be damned… you will not steal my running 😂 Maybe it was the beautiful surroundings, maybe it was the pre run coffee… but I enjoyed my run this morning 🩷

One of the best investments I’ve made. I swim during public swim sessions & always make it known to lifeguards that I can’t hear properly (if they need me to move lanes etc) but staff change & the message isn’t always passed on. Ok, not everyone will notice the message but it’s a start 😂 #swimmer

Another week, another attempt at my local #Parkrun (with my better half/rented ears). I still place myself close to the back of the pack because I AM still slow (and do walk/run). I need to learn where the actual start line is though (for watch starting purposes 😂)

My ears for the day 😂 Grateful to have my other half with me today- not only can he hear better than me (so will fill in the blanks if I miss anything), he also puts up with me in general - he’s a very patient man 😂😂. #parkrun

Back at #Parkrun today, second week in a row… yes #HampsteadHeathParkrun still kicked my behind - those hills! One thing though…I have #hearingloss & find it a bit tricky to hear all of the briefing when people all around are chatting through it, I guess I need to stand right near the RD next time?

Argh. It was my first #ParkRun in 7 years. I’m not even going to pretend I’ve retained any sort of good running fitness 😂😂 Got round in one piece at least (surprised myself 😂).

I had the clever idea of looking to see if I could rent a local bike hanger space to store my daughters bike while she’s away (there’s no safe outside space here & she has no space where she is). There’s a waiting list of 21 people all wanting the same thing. I’ve given up on that idea 😂

Husband has (very valiantly) recommended that I run with him tomorrow morning in an attempt to break my running funk (that thing where you decide you can’t run any more), I wonder if this will be what ends our 27 year marriage 😂 #running

GIVE AWAY! // AKA WE DID IT AGAIN! Since The Night Guest is coming out in paperback we decided to try to gift another copy bitten by Uggi. And it went … a little *too* well. (See picture 🧵) Like and share this post and on December 30th I will select a winner and send them this teeth marked copy!

I’ve waited a year, I’ve worked on my skills for a year and finally, my lovely acoustic has been joined by an electric. Its not hugely fancy and is apparently a budget guitar but that’s meaningless to me, I’m beyond happy 😍 #Guitars

Barre chords! Honestly 😭 Still a struggle. Genuinely think my brain doesn’t want my finger to lie across multiple strings while the others get to spread out 🤪 #BarreChords

Honestly cannot wait for the gates to be replaced on the outer circle at Regents Park… seems motorists are colour blind at 6.30 am. Who’d have thought that the scariest part of my morning run would be trying to cross a road.

Morning run. I nearly swapped my shorts for winter running tights when the weather forecast suggested the ‘feels like’ was -5°c It didn’t feel like -5°c (definitely warmer) so the shorts stay.
