To read when I am less exhausted and can process properly. So important.

Treadmill yesterday, morning walks at marshes & 5k before Junior parkrun today. Trying to keep the grumpy at bay 😉 #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #keepgoing

A tired easy friday 5 miles. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #morningmiles #keepgoing

Ending the day with grumpy treadmill running & some yoga to unwind. A day of appointments & trying not to lose my mind 🙄😬😂 #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #treadmill #yoga #unwind #keepgoing

Short 2 miles last night & 4 dull treadmill miles today. Today's joy is smalls den building. He got a 'madedo' kit for Christmas & its brilliant, thoroughly recommend for anyone with kids. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #treadmill #crafts #makedo #smurf

Cat cakes & evening ice bath. Celebrating a birthday & having had a year of Misty & Bobbles. #blackcats #icebath #celebrations #cakes #lucky

All the smug with 10 miles easy long run to start the week. Got to love getting to 20,000 steps by 7:30am. And today is new sofa day! #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #morningmiles #longrun #monday

Run director duties giving me my 250th volunteer credit this weekend. Sauna/ice bath fun with friends & little short run to make 27 miles run this week. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #parkrun #highvisheroes #sauna #icebath #lionsden #friends #legorunbuddy

Parkrun and a river swim. Doing the things. Saw a beautiful Heron flying whilst swimming. That was SO needed. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #wildswim #swimtounwind

Forgot to post yesterday. 2 easy miles testing new socks & an ice bath in the morning yesterday. This morning was 5 miles & ice bath. Feels like endless meetings & admin at the moment so the unwind from running & ice bath are much needed. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #icebath #keepgoing

Forgot to post yesterday, it was a rest day easy 20 minutes. This morning was a bit of an icy 9km. Then I resisted the urge to buy an egg mcmuffin on my walk home. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles #humpday #keepgoing

8 monday morning miles. Positively tropical temperatures 😂 manifesting summer in colourful shorts. Feeling smug with myself now even if that felt harder than I would like. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #morningmiles #happystride #dothethings #grateful

2 runs & a swim. Very cold, very needed. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #wildswim #swimwunwim #keepgoing

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

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

Oh look, the National SEND Conversation Easy-Read has been published, a week before it closes...given this has only just gone live, will the conversation be extended?consult.education.gov.uk/use...

Death by dullness on the treadmill, ice bath in the sleet. The day was saved by kitten cuddles. We have almost had them a year 😯 the joy they bring 😍 #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #treadmill #icebath #unwind #blackcats #keepgoing

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

This on the ongoing SEND mess, by @catrionamoore.bsky.social, is a must-read www.specialneedsjungle.com/leaks-denial...

This, also one of teens was talking to me about a 'new show' that was really cool... he was really excited by.. The X files! When I said I loved it when I was his age he didnt look so impressed 🤣 need to dig out my Catatonia CD with Mulder & Skully on 🤣 #old #vintage 😂 #Xfiles #generationx #xennial

10pm ice bath... its peaceful & actually a nice way to unwind before bed. #icebath #riseeveryday #unwind

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

Feels like -6° and snow on the ground so let's get in the ice bath at 10pm, said no sane person ever 🤣 so calming though. #icebath #cold #winter #calm #riseeveryday

Parkrun in the snow today, the cold clearly made me run faster for a course PB. Then utter joy in the snow with youngest 2. Plus film night, a brilliant day. #parkrun #running #snowday #fun #family #joy #lucky

Grumpy running squeezed in before dinner. I have been putting that off since about 2pm, eventually got out about 5pm. Its feels like-4° and my hands frozen. Anyway its done. Forgot a picture of legorunbuddy #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #riseeveryday #winterrunning #grumpyrunning

Escaped for a swim. Really cold but really beautiful. So grateful to be able to have these moments. #wildswim #swimtounwind

1st Jan evening ice bath dip. Seemed apt to use my new mug... 🤣 that was chilly but within 90 seconds of getting in I remembered exactly why I did this last year. The sense of calm & quiet. Also added fairy lights to the ice bath set up just because #icebath #dipeveryday #January #unwind

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

Pretty skies and bl**dy cold for this mornings run & swim. Cycled to & from the meadow for the swim so essentially I have done a triathlon already this morning 🤣 cold cold cold. Lovely way to end the year. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #wildswim #swimtounwind #friends #dothecrazythings

River swims & rainbows. Was really cold, 15 minutes swim at 5° water temp & we saw a kingfisher! Porridge once I got home to warm up! But that was so needed. #wildswim #swimtounwind #friends #lucky #rainbows

Didn't want to get up this morning, had to remind myself to do what future me would not regret... and longest run of the year. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #morningmiles

Parkrun and a swim. Both felt harder than I would have liked, but glad I did it. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #wildsswim #swimtounwind #selfcare

Night before Christmas story has been read, candy canes have magically grown. A small boy is still wide awake... 😬 at some point Santa will visit and we might even get some sleep... #Christmas #nightbeforeChristmas #Christmaseve #candycanes #magic #pleasesleep

Christmas dinner is saved, I have successfully changed the element. Made slightly tricky as had to take off fan & back & gas pipe is quite short, so oven cant be pulled far out from the wall, good job I am small. Winning at adulting. #repairs #oven #christmasdinner #soloparent #grateful #proud

Christmas saved! My oven broke at 6pm last night... by 6:30pm I had sourced the right element & paid for next day delivery. It was in Birmingham by midnight, then Snetterton DPD by 5:30am and with me before 10am this morning. Now I just need to fit it. #Christmas #DPD #oven #delivery #grateful

Christmas eve easy 10km. Chilly in shorts! #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #running #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #Grinch #ChristmasEve

Ploddy plod plod plod. 8 morning miles, 2 hours later than planned but still got it done. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #running #morningmiles #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #eatonpark #norwich

Super short run this evening to keep the RunuptoChristmas streak alive, after trip out at a Christmas lights show. Reminder that photos like this are a very small snapshot of life. #running #running2keepthecrazyaway #smallchildlife #Christmas #lights #snapshot #justamoment

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

Trip to Strangers hall, market pizza and a ride on the gallopers carousel. #smallchildlife #Norwich #norfolk #Christmas

Misty secret sauna morning. That was a much needed reset. 6 swim/jumps in the river interspersed with sauna chat & soup round fire. The traditional skinny dip as well which is always bizarrely liberating. #secretsauna #wildswim #reset #selfcare #lucky #friends #skinnydip #unwind

Misty, frosty saturday morning miles. Easy running just getting 10,000 steps in before a morning at secret sauna! #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #running #morningmiles

Exhausted & small is still up and crazy as ever, so what am I doing? Just sewing lights, bells and glue gunning pom poms to a tutu for junior parkrun.. obviously. 🤣 #Christmas #parkrun #fancydress #fun

End of term! A very tired gentle 10km run then a mile walk, actually still felt half asleep. The kittens wanted to join me in the shower white bath.. black cats... all the fluff. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #running #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #morningmiles #fridayfeels #blackcats

Stupidly late easy 5km. Tomorrow needs to be an early morning run. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #RunuptoChristmas #keepgoing #running #laterun #tired

Very nearly didnt get up this morning, glad i dragged myself out. Very gentle mist morning, 7km run, then an extra mile walk to get to 10,000 steps. On with the day. Hump day. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas ##running #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #Christmas

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

Ughh today can get in the bin. Really so done. But an easy 5 miles to unwind this evening. And Bobbles and Misty gorgeous as ever exploring the star lights in the porch. Tomorrow is another day. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #runuptochristmas #running #keepgoing
