I was looking forward to #Parkrun I wanted it but my heart & soul weren’t in it. No idea how any PR’s happened. Lovely to see the☀️ & blue sky,biting🥶wind in the open, great to be back out in shorts & t-shirt. Grateful to be able to 🏃♀️& sub 36m,not long ago I’d have celebrated that! 😵💫 #RebelliousHope
I’ve been in a bit of physical & emotional dip.Day off today,lazy start then headed to the gym.Short run, pushing the speed a little, treadmill helps keep me consistent. Then a mile on the bike, pool was empty so a gentle warm down then chilled in steam room & spa pool.Felt so good 💪 #RebelliousHope
RIP Mel Schilling 💐
Knowing the symptoms is important,the earlier it’s found, the more treatable it’s likely to be.You know what’s normal for you. If things don’t feel right or you notice a change, visit you GP as soon as you can.

Struggling a bit with anxiety / self confidence today. Pool too full of randoms to swim so I had a good 2 miles on the treadmill and tried the bike for 2 miles too. 💪 #RebelliousHope
For various reasons,I won’t bore you, this is my first run in 2 weeks. I went out determined to do 2 miles & kept going. I’m pleased with that & happy to be back out there. It had been dry all day & of course the second I set foot outside it started drizzling 🌧️ 🙄 🏃♀️ #BlueskyRunning #RebelliousHope
So at 0901hrs a thing happened! Good job I was poised ready as it sold out very very quickly! #RunNorwich #BlueskyRunners #RebelliousHope
It’s so freeing to be back out in shorts & t-shirt in daylight 😎 Just finished week 1 of a therapist led exercise programme so my body is expectedly tired so am happy with this - no idea how I pulled a nearly 10min mile out the bag 😆 no wonder the rest felt tough. #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning
Funny old week one way and another but all good. Day off today & luckily found a quieter time in the pool to plough out 1/2 mile 🏊♀️ really enjoyed that 💪 #RebelliousHope Randomly bumped into my sister from another mother in the pool.I didn’t recognise her at first 🤣🤣…she had a swim cap & goggles on 🤷🏻♀️
Perfect weather great to be back in daylight & shorts,no hi-vis or head torch required & so many routes now available.My head wanted it but my body had other ideas-not sure how I got that far 🤷🏻♀️Worst run ever,I guess that’s the way it goes.The sea was like a millpond. #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning
Rain again 😫 this morning, I couldn’t face the worsening mud 🙄 at nearby #Parkrun so I opted for a treadmill session pushing myself a bit then straight in the pool 🏊 & relax in the steam room 😁 #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning I forget about the 🏴 🏉 game but had an enjoyable afternoon volunteering 😊
Club group run,dry start became heavy drizzle🌧️So glad I went,really enjoyed it,Jim’s runs are apparently legendary,circa a mile longer than expected,he seems to make it up in the hoof😆lots of hills,slopes & inclines⛰️Regular pauses to keep the group together & I wasn’t always last #RebelliousHope 🤩
Really enjoyed tonight’s club training session. 💙💛 🏃♀️ Very cold 🥶 but fortunately the hail shower passed & it stayed dry. Undulating mile loops 💪🏼
Now curled up chilling with a hot chocolate.
#RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning
The question is … do I? 🏃♀️ 💪🏼
It’s not cheap but probably because it usually sells out in minutes!

Lovely afternoon for a stroll along the prom 🥰 #CoastLife
As an aflete keeping fuelled & hydrated is of paramount importance. When you’ve worked hard to get a new PB 🔔‼️ I think it’s important to reward your wins #WhelkCoppers

Really enjoyed getting out with the club tonight 💙💛 We ran up and down the killer slopes, the prom and of course around the pier which is a nice surface to run on 🤩 New shoes 👟 christened, happy with them. A crisp North wind but it remained dry 🥳 #BlueskyRunning #RebelliousHope
Looking forward to giving these their first outing this evening🏃♀️I tried & tested a few pairs but almost instantly these felt right.Bonus is I like the colour🫣Turns out I’m an overpronator.I’m not squeamish but I hate feet & watching the video back made me feel a bit 🤢 #BlueskyRunning #RebelliousHope
A lovely morning for it:slight breeze, dry,mild & some ☀️ Quite honestly I wanted less that my NYD 10K but having given my head a good wobble this isn’t bad.Slightly disorganised start & I went off too fast,liked the course I’ll happily do it again.I want better so will keep training. #RebelliousHope
The plan to finish work a bit early & get a decent half trail 5K in daylight was thwarted 🤨 Instead I got pavements in darkness as the driving sleet 🌧️❄️ started.I pushed for the hills on the second mile.I’m buzzing, that was great, I think I need my head examining 🤣🤪🏃♀️💪🏼 #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning
Today is #WorldCancerDay a day dedicated to raising awareness.
1 in 2 of us will get cancer.
A cancer diagnosis is devastating,changes your life forever,it need not define you,it’s a lonely place.
It’s so much more than a medical diagnosis.

20 crazy fools turned out for a fresh 🥶,dark 🌧️❄️ mizzly club session this evening. I really enjoyed it. Going to have a slight change of plan & just do a gentle 5k on Thursday ahead of my 10K Sunday.Feeling great,funny how I almost don’t care about the weather nowadays #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning
Final figures for January 2026. It doesn’t seem much when you see it like that. My first properly trained for 10K, 4 x #Parkrun I ran in all weathers including snow ❄️ I’m determined to carry on aimimg to increase strength, stamina & my pace but above all enjoy it. 🏃♀️😊 #Running #RebelliousHope
A cool,dry,sunny🌞day dawned for #Parkrun So good to be among my @parkrunuk.bsky.social family.Staying upright was the goal,very muddy in places,I enjoyed it & I pushed today so mile 3 was slow as my calves didn’t like it but happy with the result.Only 24s off my course PB set in Dec💪🏼 #RebelliousHope
The battle was to get out the door,the minute I did I was ready💪🏼 First one this week, my muscles were tired after Saturday & work overran yesterday 🙄Happy with that 3 weeks off my asthma meds,looking forward to tomorrows tests to establish baseline & new drugs regime #BluseskyRunning #RebelliousHope
Timekeeper duties @parkrunuk.bsky.social @midsandeastnt.bsky.social Sheringham today.Afterwards I took the train to Cromer, unexpectedly a Parkrun regular joined me.Was nice to run with someone for a change, enjoyed the route & pushed further than intended 💪🏼🏃♀️😊 #Parkrun #RebelliousHope #Volunteering
I enjoyed a social run out with the club tonight inc a lap of the pier because we can 🌊 Grateful to have found such a friendly,supportive,accepting bunch 🏃♀️Tough week, I’m mentally drained, I wanted to get out, it cleared my head & set me up for 3 days off, should sleep well tonight. #RebelliousHope
After a tough day at work I had to have a word with myself to get out. 😬Despite 12 days off my mild asthma meds (nurse instructed) I feared the impact & this is my longest run since NYD #SelfDoubt I’m pleased with that 🤩 #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning
It was pacer day at a neighbouring #Parkrun today. Muddy & slippy in places, tough going. Managed to stick to the 33 min pacer for 2 miles. Bless him he saw me after & said he’ll do 34 min pacer next month & help me aim for a PB #Volunteers #BeKind #RebelliousHope @parkrunuk.bsky.social
Day off today & I wanted a run but with biblical rain forecast I thought I’d try the treadmill, not the most inspiring view but I did it & then had a gentle 1/4 in the very quiet pool 🏊 followed by a lovely relaxing steam room & spa pool session 🥰 #BlueskyRunning #RebelliousHope
So pleased to have got back out there, miles 2 & 3 felt tough the overall result isn’t too bad.Unsurprisingly a little tough not helped by the heat I was definitely overdressed!It’s still a little odd just running & not having a training plan telling you what to do.

🙌 🙌 Parkrunday is on its a big one for us today - let’s do this. We’ve just had a light dusting of snow, it’s cold & windy but nothing like the big freeze we expected. I’m so ready for this 😊 #MustBeMad #RebelliousHope #Parkrun
