Legorunbuddy held up between thumb and forefinger. In the background everyone getting ready for parkrun briefing at the bandstand.
Legorunbuddy in palm of my hand with my parkrun finish token. You can see my legs and happy stride shorts and the gravel floor with steps leading up to rotunda.
Screenshot of garmin showing the map of my 5km parkrun and my average pace and heart rate.
Selfie post swim at Caen meadow. I am wearing purple bobble hat and fleece and my hair is in plaits. Behind me 3 friends, one in turquoise dry robe, one in dark green dry robe and red jumper and at the back friends husband in coat and red jumper. We are smiling and doing silly pose. Standing om river bank with water behind us.
Parkrun and a river swim. Doing the things. Saw a beautiful Heron flying whilst swimming. That was SO needed. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #wildswim #swimtounwind
Lego and legorunkitten sat on fence overlooking the broad at Whittlingham.
Hern! There were another 2 just standing nearby but then one flew away. In background a bench, the Heron is standing on grass by the footpath that goes round the broad.
View from our swim spot.
From the top end of the broad.
2 runs & a swim. Very cold, very needed. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #wildswim #swimwunwim #keepgoing
Post swim selfie 3 of us standing by the riverbank, the 4th person is taking the photo but in reverse as its a BeReal picture. On the floor leaves, some swim kit. Behind is river and trees the other side of the bank.
View one way down the river, there is a fence at the very edge with a tree. Then along river just trees lining the side. The sun is shining and sky is blue. Cold, crisp morning. There were biting 30mph wind gusts though.
View the other way up the river. Again lined by trees but you can see more of riverbank and the mooring spot.
Two swans that came to say hello. I think they thought we might have food for them, we did not. I love how you can see their feet paddling under the water and their reflection. My little bit of daily joy.
Escaped for a swim. Really cold but really beautiful. So grateful to be able to have these moments. #wildswim #swimtounwind
View down the road at the end of my run. The street is dark, the sky is purple blue & very pretty. Its almost dawn.
The meadow just before our swim, view over the river away from the bridge. Sun rising in background behind trees. And a red beanie hat on the riverbank.
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
A rainbow arching over houses and a postbox at the junction of a road. I was cycling and stopped at the junction waifing to cross to a cut through.
The view down the river. Sky is blue the trees reflecting in the still water. Bitey cold today.
The view along the path by the river, sun shining through the bare trees. Houses on the other side of the riverbank.
Selfie before our swim. River behind us. My friend is wearing sunglasses and a bobble hat. I have on a beanie hat and a pile of our post swim clothes are behind us.
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
A groups of us standing together in front of the zip slide. Teenagers & adults of all ages. The volunteers assembled for Christmas junior parkrun. We all have high vis on, wearing Christmas hats.
Me with 2 friends by broad, we are all wearing Christmas hats, I am wearing a rainbow coat. Water is behind us.
The view from top end of the broad towards the water sports centre and past that there is the city. Its misty there are reeds and trees at the edges of the broad.
Selfie as I walked to junior parkrun, I am looking up at the camera wearing a Christmas hat, a rainbow coat and my run up to Christmas t shirt with my Christmas tutu, its decorate like a tree with poms poms, bells and lights.
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
View from the sauna down the river, its misty the trees are reflected in the water.
Same view by end of morning as mist has cleared and the colour of landscape is visible. Brown trees but green river banks. Bright blue sky.
The sauna, its wooden trees and path to river to the left. There is a canopy from the side of sauna, towels hanging up. Some lights are strung outside the sauna and you can see the watering can shower.
The steps down into the river.
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
The view up the river towards the bridge at andersons meadow. Sun reflecting on water, reflections of the trees and blue sky.
No actual swimming shots but a lovely swim and jump in the river this afternoon. Catching the afternoon sun. Water was 7°. So needed after 2 weeks without managing to get out to the river. #wildswim #swimtounwind #jump #coldwaterswim
Fighting the overwhelm and feeling like I want to curl up and hide by going for a dip in the river. That was cold! When I feel like shutting the world out what I actually NEED to do is get out, a walk, run or swim. The cold head rush was needed today. #wildswim #swimtounwind #livelife
The meadow looking along to the bridge reflections in the river. Pretty and peaceful.
Post swim selfie with friend. Both buzzing after our swim. I have on a black bikini with white trim, she has a black swimming costume and we both have woolly hats, hers is green, mine is purple.
Cold! Water temp 6° today. Lobster tan temperatures! Not so good coming back to a cold house with no hot water so I cant shower, but so glad I got out and did something for myself. #swimtounwind #wildswim #meadow #cold #livelife
Garmin stats for parkrun
Post swim selfie with my friend. She is taking photos i am in background celebrating our swim. In background there is my camping chair with dry robe and swim gear and a grey bath mat I use for changing on.
Legorunbuddy at sloughbottom parkeun. To the right the building, outside where thet do the briefing to left you can see park and start of the course. Its grey and miserable.
Do the things... parkrun and then a swim in the river in the rain. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #parkrun #wildswim #refillingmycup #keepgoing

My cooker turned on pasta baje cooking inside, with my swim kit hanging on thr outsidd to dry so I can wear it again tomorrow. Bikini, swim shoes and gloves.
Tell me your a wild swimmers without saying you are a wild swimmer. As I swam this morning and want to swim tomorrow, drying my bikini, swim shoes & gloves whilst also cooking dinner 🤣 #wildswim #swimtounwind #winterswimming #notputtingheatingonyet
Garmin stats for month of October. 183.1 km or 113 miles.
Picture of the river looking over to the bridge. Its a bit overcast, there are leaves floating in the water.
Managed 113 miles for October. And ended the month with a river swim at 7:30am. Cold but still jumping in. #wildswim ##swimtounwind #running ##keepgoing #dailyjoy
Fire over the river towards a shed/garden house that overlooks the water. It is surrounded by trees and reflected in the water. Autumn is definitely here with orange leaves on the trees and the floor.
Selfie post swim, bit of a lobster tan. I am wearing black bikini and purple bobble hat. The riverbank is behind me.
Bobble hat and bikini.. first single digit swim as water temp was 9° blissful. That was SO needed. #swimtounwind #wildswim #swimming #lucky
Photo of a black dog swimming in the ocean, cloudy skies and a rainbow above him
Chilly wild swim this morning with a rainbow 🌈
#wildswim #salishsea #rainbow
Swim number 15. It was a bit chilly! We were in two minds as it was 5°C early morning but by lunch it had warmed up to 10°C and the sun was shining. However we did have a few rain showers! My hat, gloves and dry robe all got an outing today. #wildswimming #wildswim #whitmorelakes
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.
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
Pic of this mornings weather forecast rain and wind that gets ho to 40+ miles per hour... I might just go back to bed...
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 😬
Such a lovely dip at Flatford today. This is the time of year when the water has turned cold but the air is mild that I love. #wildswim #wildswimming
Wild swim number 14. Lovely autumnal swim today.
Water is getting cooler at 12.9°C as is the outside temperature at 13°C. Not many swimming today and we virtually had the lake to ourselves. Joined by couple of ducks, two swans and a heron! #wildswimming #wildswim #swimming #whitmorelakes

View from the bird hut at Whittlingham, down towards thr watersports centre. Looking earie but peaceful in the dark. The water is like dark glass and the scene is framed by foliage of trees.
A boat on the river by the broad, lit up with cool lights. All colours, pink, purple, green blue, orange.
Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten in the bird hut in a window. Behind them pitch dark.
Selfie after my post run swim. I am wearing a towelling robe and head torch. Behind me just darkness so you cant see that i am standing by the river i just swam in.
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
How we deal with life... jump in the river. Feeling chilly this morning water temp is 13-14° but that was SO needed. Such a reset. Do the things that bring you joy. #wildswim #swimtounwind #jump #livelife #friends #keepgoing
Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten sat on a wall on sloughbottom park overlooking the finish funnel at Sloughbottom parkrun. They are stood next to my finish token. There is a goalpost, and lots of finishers walking to get their token scanned in the background.
Parkrun and then a swim. Taking advantage of having son 3 at home to escape for a bit this morning, much needed. Lovely to see friends & then the chilly river swim after was the calm I needed before getting on with the day. ##running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #wildswim
