Dragged out by a friend early doors. 5km round the broad. Not wanted, but very needed. Pulling myself out of a slump with a little help from a friend. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #friends #whittlingham #lucky #beautiful

Bats all the bats on this evenings run round the broad. 6km running off the rage & despair. So nearly didnt go, so glad I did. The cold river dip afterwards was a tonic too. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #keepgoing #legorunbuddy #whittlingham #bats #reset #lucky #dailyjoy

Do the slightly crazy things, evening run and then swim at Whittlingham. Dark! And cold but so refreshing and just what was needed. Making 13km of running & 2 swims today. Lucky! #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #wildswim #swimtounwind #friends #selfcare #Whittlingham #norfolk

View from bird hut at Whittlingham towards the water sports centre. Blue sky with a few fluffy white clouds which reflect in the water. Trees lining edge of the broad. Water stretches out into the distance.

Legorunbuddy balanced on a fence post with the broad behind. You can see trees each side of thr broad, a few floors at waters edge. Lovely blue skies and sun reflecting on water of the broad. Honestly, it's so beautiful.

Evening sky over river at Whittlingham.  The silhouette of a tree and its reflection in the water. Pinky orange cloud also reflected in the water.

Evening run & swim. Forever grateful to have this place a ten minute cycle from home. Wheezy lungs but legs felt strong 4 miles done before 20 minute swim. So lucky. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #whittlingham #running #swimtounwind #dothethingsyoulove #keepgoing

The river by whittlingham broad, after our swim. Sun setting, a Swan came to say hello as we got changed.  Sandy river bank with Swan standing at the edge. The sun is setting on opposite side of the river.

Digging myself out of a hole, not sad just flat. A run, then a swim was just what I needed, even though I really had to force myself to go. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #whittlingham #wildswim #keepgoing #sunset #lucky

We can get back to the posing log, it gets totally overgrown at certain points in year. It's such a lovely spot to take in the view.
