Ploddy plod plod plod. 8 morning miles, 2 hours later than planned but still got it done. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #running #morningmiles #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #eatonpark #norwich

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten at a different spot in the park. Its meant to be a water feature but in 25 years of it being there I can count on one hand the amount of times it has ever been turned on. Its a shame because the kids love it when it is.

Silly selfie, high vis vest, head torch as it was proper dark in the park. Doing a V for victory sign and sticking my tongue out.

Yoga/pilayes by light of Christmas tree. You can see sofa, swing and window in background as well as lights on television shelves where the advent buckets hang.

Garmin screenshot of today's activities. Run 10.15km, walk 3.29km and 21 mins yoga.

A tired 10km, a walk & then some yoga/pilates whilst shivvying kids. Sometimes running is a head battle but it reminds us we can do hard things. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #eatonpark #morningmiles #stillgoing

Screenshot of garmin run map of parkrun today.. ave pace 5:21 min per km.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten by the pond before parkrun. The trees are reflecting on the water. The sky is bright, its a cold, crisp morning.

The boating lake after parkrun. There are model sailboats on the water, the sun is shining. The sails and trees reflecting on the water. Beautiful winter morning.

The boating lake as I arrived at the park before parkrun. No boats, the sun still rising,Its peaceful, still, no people. Just beautiful. Ever grateful I live where I do.

Parkrun. Number 18 this year & back to Eaton, which for some reason had become anxiety inducing. It was fine today, well nervous on the way but fine once I was there. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #running #legorunbuddy#legorunkitten #eatonpark #parkrun

Garmin screenshot of morning activities, 8.5km run, 1.8km walk and 22 mins of yoga. That will do.

Eaton park. The view feom the bridge, over the pond towards the bandstand. Its still dark, the bandstand is lit up and the light reflects on the water. Its still and peaceful.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten waiting on the button pressing of a pedestrian crossing. Streetlights and car lights blur in the background.

Selfie at the end of my run. I am wearing my run up to Christmas t shirt, a high viz vest and have a head torch on. The pavement is covered in leaves.

5 gentle miles then a walk home & some yoga before getting on with the day. Happy hump day. #runninguptochristmas #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #morningmiles #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #eatonpark

The view from top of the steps over the pond at Eaton park, looking to the left. Lights reflecting on the water. Dark morning sky, its very still.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten at the top of the steps by the pond with the bandstand behind. The bandstand is lit against the dark sky.

Half a selfie, looking down at my feet. In black shorts with neon stars and purple brooks though they are filthy. You can just make out a bit of my shadow.

Our dining room table with presents ready for birthday girl the Elves are there too. There is a happy birthday banner behind the table and fairy lights are on.

Chilly 5 miles. Still shorts weather but icy enough to make me nervous. Home to wake the birthday girl. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #eatonpark #tired #keepgoing #birthday

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten down in front of the pond at Eaton park. Its still quite dark, can see the bandstand lit up behind

The pond and bandstand. The lights from the bandstand reflecting in the water of the pond and shadows of trees. Sky is still dark and the air is damp with drizzle and mist.

A pumpkin with a snail carved out! Have passed these on my runs for a few days but today stopped to get a pic.

And a pumpkin that is carved as a cat face with little pointy ears.

Hump day gentle run. Thought that might turn into a walk as still not feeling great but better than yesterday. Had a nice run, bit misty, nice & quiet. Appreciating autumn mornings. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #morningmiles #Eatonpark #pumpkins

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on the edge of the boating lake in Eaton Park. Water behind reflecting like a mirror. Some trees and the building at top end of the lake. Early morning sky.

View over boating lake from corner. Lights, trees reflecting in the water which is really still. A feeling of calm and quiet.

Its friday, 5 heavy miles today. Now strength whilst shivvying kids. New headphones and feeling grateful for the peace of an early run before getting on with the day. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles #keepgoing #eatonpark

Selfie of me on bridge, pind and bandstand behind. Sticking my tongue out making a face to represent my run. I have a high vis vest on and a headtorch.

5 hump day miles. Total contrast to Mondays run where it just flowed because that felt horrible. The randomness of running. Still glad I got out, now on with the day. ##running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #humpday #keepgoing #eatonpark

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten standing in the rain at the rotunda at Eaton park. Behind them the steps down to the park. Trees line either side, it's grey and wet.

End of run selfie. Beyond wet, like soaked through to my underwear wet. Black running vest clinging go me. My hair is in plaits, I am pulling a silly face at the camera.

A VERY wet 5 miles but a nice run, reminding me I am stronger than I feel. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #runningintherain #morningmiles #humpday #eatonpark

The bandstand by night. All lit up under dusk sky.

Legorunbuddy overlooking the boating lake. It was so still it was like glass. The lights are reflecting in the water behind Legorunbuddy and in distance is the clock tower and building. Sky is drawing in, its past dusk.

Garmin map of this evenings 7km run. Nice and easy.

Month of running stats. 162.8km over 100 miles. Happy with that.

Super easy evening miles. Didn't get out till 9pm but needed 5km to make it 100 miles for the month. Did 7km as got carried away 😂 #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #eatonpark #eveningrun #100miles

Monday morning 10km done. Stupid wheezy lungs but not a bad run. Off to see the consultant about biologics for my asthma tomorrow 🤞Home to do strength now, sticking to a bit of a routine for my own head. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #morningmiles #eatonpark #asthma #keepgoing

Bandstand at Eaton park, looking spectacular even with the rain. Big puddles building up by steps, sometimes this whole area gets flooded.

Grumpy selfie when I arrived at parkrun. Bandstand behind, am wearing a bright orange raincoat and pulling a grumpy face.

Legorunbuddy helping sort the tokens after parkrun. We were number 302 today, 9th in age category. Legorunbuddy is stood on a table, tokens laid out beside her and there are cups into which tokens get sorted into groups by number. As they get 600-700 runners its a task!

Garmin screenshot of my run. Parkrun time was 29.23 which i will take for easy easy wheezy run. Rainstorms, humidity & pollen are never my friends.

Tired & tearful but dragged myself to parkrun for a run in the rain on 4 hours sleep 🥱 It helped as always despite silly wheezy lungs making it a very gentle plod. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #parkrun #running #keepgoing #eatonpark #runningintherain

Photo taken looking down to the ground. Legorunbuddy on palm of my hand with my parkrun finish token. Can see my pink trainers and tikiboo shorts with multi coloured stars on them. The floor is gravel.

Parkrun selfie with myself and two friends. I have a turquoise jacket and purple sunglasses. One friend has red t shirt and black jacket and sun glasses. Friend in the middle has black/grey jacket and regular glasses on. We are stood in front of the rotunda at Eaton park, myself and one friend are sticking middle finger up (its a tradition). We are all smiling.

Parkrun plod this morning, keeping it very easy in the humidity at the end of the week. Just keep going. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #parkrun #friends #eatonpark

View in Eaton park from on the bridge, over towards the pond and the bandstand.

Monday morning 10km. Was aiming for 4 or 5 miles, needed an inhaler stop but that wasn't too bad. Appreciated the rain, just not the pollen. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #morningmiles #eatonpark #runningintherain

Legorunbuddy on the path coming round the broad at uea. It's a dirt path, really dry, trees in the background.

Flowers by the bandstand at Eaton park on the walk home. Purple and yellow flowers, in amongst the green, bandstand behind.

Sunset behind the bandstand. Benches in foreground, looking towards the bandstand, they circle right round. The sun is going down behind the rotunda (i think that's what it is called).

7km evening run. Hot, hideous pollen so keeping it nice and easy. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #uea #eatonpark #runwithfriends

Mr Heron,on my way too/from pilates, brightening up my day. #Heron #eatonpark #pilates #dailyjoy #itsthelittlethings

Pretty purple flowers on my walk home, they made me smile.

The miniature railway track in Eaton park. It has steam and diesel trains that run on it on a Sunday morning. It's like £1 a go? Kids love it, riding round, waving to everyone. The have a disabled access carriage too for wheelchair users, all run by volunteers.

Legorunbuddy in front of the 'crossing' for the miniature railway and the gate through little flower field bit. Not sure if that bit of the park has a specific name?

Horrible horrible asthma making a 4 mile 'easy' run anything but easy. Different views from the park today, it's beautiful out & I have a run/swim planned for this eve for a bit of zen, so on we go. ##running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #eatonpark #asthma #stupidlungs #keepgoing

Finish pictures with birthday girl!

Pretty View down road at the end of my run, I just liked the sun through the trees.

Silly selfie with running friend, because is it even a run if you don't?!

Legorunbuddy with pond behind. She has new hair, i dont like it, t's the only one I could find without rummaging through ten million tonnes of lego at home.

Eaton park bandstand. Scaffolding is because they are working on changing rooms.

Tired 4 miles, then a mile walk home to hit 10,000 steps. Thankful for lovely friends to help keep me going when i am so tired I could cry. On we go. ##running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #morningmiles #eatonpark #sunshine #tired

Tree on Eaton Rd, blossom looked pretty on floor.
