Post swim selfie.

Picture at the meadow, my bag and dry robe on the floor. Looking over towards the bridge. The pontoon to the left with trees behind. You can see the reflections in the river, sky a bit dark as it was about to start raining. Water was about 17° today. 25 min swim.

Strava screenshot with bar chart showing my splits and time per km. Got faster as run progressed, its neatness pleases me 😂

Lovely swim at the meadow. And strava has finally uploaded my run, it was not synching with garmin earlier, most annoying. I just like my pretty bar chart. Accidental progressive run, couldn't have done it that nearly if I had tried 😂 #wildswim ##swimtounwind #running #dothethingsyoulove #dailyjoy

Legorunbuddy stood on a cargo bike. Lamppost behind trees to the right and blue skies.

The river, my shadow on the grass with river to left. Bridge in the distance. Reflection of trees in the water.

Selfie, my left arm up sharing my eyes from the sun. I am wearing a pale purple t shirt and sunglasses. I have a garmin and parkrun wristband on. The river is behind me with the bridge in distance. Blue skies. Green green grass. Its a beautiful morning after the rain yesterday.

Sweaty selfie at the end of my run. I am making a silly face sticking out my tongue. Holding up legorunbuddy. Wearing a black running vest and a silver necklace.

Very sweaty 7km run, 7:30am at the meadow & now time for a swim in the river. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #swimtounwind #dothethingsyoulove

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.

Picture from top end of the broad loads of reeds and nettles, you can't get to our posing log! Trees either side, sun in sky just above tree line over to thr right. Blue sky and water stretching out in distance.

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

Legorunbuddy balanced on the barriers to gasworks on our street. House in the background, red barriers, tree to the right and deep trench in the road.

The meadow after my swim. View down towards the bridge. I actually swam left to the other bridge, then back and along to this bridge & then some diving for fun. 35 min swim. You can see the bridge in distance, bright blue cloudless sky, green reeds and trees to the right. Trees on the left side riverbank and pontoon for paddle boarders.

Selfie, with river and bridge behind. I have turquoise sunglasses on and a silver necklace. I am wearing a black t shirt with pink writing. It says "women of a certain age vs the patriarchy."

Garmin run stats, 5 miles at an easy pace that was a genuinely lovely run this morning despite being tired.

5 miles early doors, teen up & off to school & then a swim at the meadow. Not bad all before 8:30am. Now on with the day. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #morningmiles #wildswim #swimtounwind #dothethingsyoulove

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.

Legorunbuddy on the bridge at Whittlingham broad, with view over the broad behind. Trees blurred in background and reflection on the water.

Selfie of me wearing purple sunglasses, black running vest, I am smiling and wearing shockz headphones. You can see my garmin and parkrun bracelet on my left wrist which i am holding up making a v for victory sign. The broad behind me, a tree to the left and trees framing the broad.

The broad from waters edge by the bird hut. Sun reflecting off the water, moss at the waters edge and a tree to the right.

2nd run & swim of the day. Was so tired before I went out this evening, but SO glad I did. Can never not be grateful to have this so close. Much laughter with friends too. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #wildswim #whittlingham #lucky #dothethingsyoulove #keepgoing

Garmin actuvity stats for the day so far.

Andersons meadow looking towards the bridge. Pontoon to the left, bridge in the distance. Water was 17° today!

A run, M to school, and a swim, not a bad morning! That was a blissful swim, even dived in. Now on with the day, it's Friday! #swimtounwind #wildswim #reset #dothethingsyoulove #lucky #dailyjoy

Random thought: of course, it's interesting (also necessary) to study how the best do their thing and achieve their successes. It's just that statistically, if only few achieve those heights, the probability is that most won't regardless of effort.
