Chilly chilly swim this morning, but felt amazing. Still jumping in the river and not got any neoprene out yet, but my toes were frozen after. Water temp 10° , air temp feels like 3°. Glorious #wildswim #swimtounwind #dailyjoy #dothecrazythings #livelife

Pre swim selfie, I am in bikini, friend in her dry robe. It was cold!

Post swim all bundled up in all the layers. Crazy lady gang. Selfie on the river bank.

The smugness of a runner thats got 10,000 steps done before 6:30am. I cant check off my ten minutes of sunlight yet though 😂 and having to use my headtorch in the house rather than turn on lights & risk waking kids. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles #smug

Selfie at the end of my run. Cold enough for long sleeve top though i shoved my sleeves up. Still in shorts its dark.

Street view. Dark blue morning skies, outlines of trees either side of the road.

Screenshot of Finch app, I can tick off 10,000 steps but not time in the sunlight!

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on dining room table, lit up by my running headtorch being investigated by a kitten.

Short and sweet 5.5km evening run and joy of new bedsheets, kitten approved. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #tired #keepgoing ##blackcat #bobbles #dailyjoy

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on a wall at the end of my run. Its dark, they are lit up by my running heastorch, you cant see anything else but them and the wall.

Bobbles kitten curled up asleep on my new bedsheets. Its an Asda set with sunflowers on.

Repeatedly dont communicate & punish a child for things out of their control. A child praised as model pupil, polite, perfectionist, terrified of getting a 'negative' struggling with overwhelm, mental health. Simple adaptations would help 'but policy'. & now a child who no longer trusts the adults.

One occasion this has happened. Different staff saying different things to child despite me having it in email what has been agreed. I Give schools benefit of doubt. Back them up, but a child that school have reported their concerns re MH. They know complexities of home life currently & yet they

Attended a meeting. Actually I had, & then the follow up I requested to be TEAMS due to caring responsibilities. The asst head agreed. I had it in email. They then didnt organise the TEAMS meeting. My child was removed from leason to be placed in 'remove'. Apparently miscommunication. On more than

I would love it if your experience was true Ben. But my experience with a child with MH issues in a large academy trust is that they are in these rooms for whole days for minor reasons & often in error. Poor communication ie school saying my child had to be in remove because I as parent hadn't

Ughh the plan was a run then a river swim between 5:30-7:30am this morning. As a general rule I always say no such thing as bad weather, just choose the right clothes. However not sure I fancy the cycle to the river in the rain AND wind. Actually may go back to bed... #running #wildswim 😬

Pic of this mornings weather forecast rain and wind that gets ho to 40+ miles per hour... I might just go back to bed...

5:25am. Literally get up, get dressed, toilet, inhalers, feed kittens & out the door without thinking about it. Kit laid out night before, just do it, dont think about it! Always a diet coke for the caffeine post run.

Sarah @running2staysane.bsky.social · 1d

Wow... so much to unpick and a WHOLE other world.

I shall repost a second time - that poor child! I also feel sorry for the older one written off at 5 years.

Up and out by 5:50am. Run, walk, strength, showered & all the household jobs done. I have even pre hand washed a jumper that I got oil on so it doesn't stain. At this point in the day I am winning. Can I go back to bed now? 😂 #running2keepthecrazyaway #forgotlegorunbuddy #running #keepgoing #flower

Pretty flowers that I saw on my walk home. Its yellow with a hint of pink and contrasts against the green leaves and dark morning sky.

End of run selfie. Still dark even at the end of my run. I am wearing high vis vest and head torch. Its dark so you can see anything around me.

Garmin stats. 9km run. Then a walk home and then half an hour of strength.

My friend running towards me to meet at our new meet up stop. Its dark, streetlights to the right, a wall and hedge to the left.

Better late than never, an easy four miles and then 20 mins of yoga before bed. Tested out part of a new running route as one of my running friends has moved house so we cant do our usual route together. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #easyeveningrun #keepgoing

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten at a nee run meet point. Standing on the railings by a crossing. Its dark you can just make out the road and crossing behind.

Silly sweary selfie. I have a high vis vest and headtorch on. My hair is in a pony tail, my garmin and parkrun wristband on my left wrist which is the hand that is sticking up my middle finder to the endless admin that is dealing with SEND system. You can see the shadow of railings next to me and you can just see legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on the railings. #Still standing.

Haven't been out for a run.. yet.... have done pilates and submitted the whole new evidence bundle for tribunal that was cancelled and is now re scheduled. So over adulting, but look what small made today! My bit of #dailyjoy #pumpkins #Halloween #alternativeprovision #LapwingEducation

Two Halloween pumpkins carved with cat faces. They are lit up on our dining room table. Behind our dinner time candles are lit and the fairy lights are on. You can see my lego flowers to the right and our bench and noticeboard behind.

Short and sweet 2 mile run before bed after a day feeling rubbish & tackling hideous admin. Finding a bit of joy with candles at dinner, Bobbles was quite taken by them too. Tomorrow is another day. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #somethingisbetterthannothing
