Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

I may never forgive myself for doing this so early but I've just looked up Christmas #parkruns. Turns out I'm so early the list isn't even up yet.

I’m relatively new to it but loving it a lot more than road running!

Much needed! Tree roots everywhere. It was so fun, owls hooting and us all whooping as we ran. Probably looked like a right bunch of weirdos but it was awesome

After a big gap I finally made it out for a club trail run tonight. Hills through the woods in the dark. Owls a-hooting. Tree roots a-stumbling. That blew away the cobwebs! #runchat #trailrunning #blueskyrunners

Not sure how I managed to be slightly quicker this week, I felt like I was working a lot harder this time!

A very breezy #parkrun this morning in Cheltenham. Definitely feel like I’m skirting a cold, but so lovely in the park today it was lovely to get out 🍂

Today I am wearing a skirt with dragons on. This is making me happy 🙂 🐉

“Outstanding homework” email from
School flashes up on my watch. I feel bad because I assumed this meant “homework was late, your child is in trouble” when what it actually meant was “great, your child did an outstanding job”. Must stop assuming the worst!

There’s a university campus at the end of my road and I have the same thing. They just appear and it always surprises me

6k in the bag this morning and knees all good. My plan is to build back up slowly with lots of strength and stretching. We’re now at the time of year where it’s not only dark when I set out, it’s still dark when I get home! #runchat #running 🦉 🌙 ✨

There’s a lot of berries this year everywhere! My mum would say it’s a sign that we’re in for a harsh winter, but I’ve never quite been convinced

A sub-30 #parkrun and only the slightest of twinges in my knee (on the walk home!). Very good. The start line had a lot of us wearing our finisher shirts from the Cheltenham Half last weekend (does that happen in every town the week after the big local race?). Lovely autumn vibes today🍁

I feel like picking out a nursing home for your mother’ palliative care whilst in the same week helping your teen pick a sixth form is pretty much the definition of being part of the sandwich generation. Are we all this emotionally exhausted?
