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

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

Legorunbuddy with Marshall, run director at Sloughbottom behind getting ready for briefing.

Legorunbuddy in palm of my hand with my finish token.

The view along the river at Andersons meadow. A grey morning, water was 5° and it was hard getting in after my run.

Post swim selfie.

Parkrun and a swim. Both felt harder than I would have liked, but glad I did it. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #wildsswim #swimtounwind #selfcare

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

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

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

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

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

Silly end of run selfie holding up legorunbuddy to camera whilst sticking my tongue out. I am wearing high vis vest and headtorch as it was dark when I went out early. Nice to have sun come up as I ran.

Garmin stats of my day, run, walk, cycle, swim, cycle.

Five friday miles, a walk then a cycle to the meadow for a swim after getting M off to school. Saw two kingfishers! Filling my cup. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #swimtounwind #wildswim #selfcare #lucky

Friday eary doors run and swim plus getting M to school. I am SO glad I did this as it went on to be A DAY. Big stress but also lovely session for small with his provision, so celebrating that win. Ignoring the rest 😉 #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #wildswim #swimtounwind

Various sunset views at Whittlingham across the river. Crazy how much the sky changes in a few minutes but it was stunning.

Forgot to post these last night, sunset full moon swim didnt actually see the moon but so much laughter. Very grateful for friends and wild swimming. Don't take life seriously do the things that are fun! #wildswim #swimtounwind #friends

Jump in the river. Post parkrun swim. Me from behind in a black bikini jumping in to the river. My hair is in plaits, my arms wre in the air and I have my legs half tucked up as I jump..

This time my arms are up as I jump but its befire I pull my legs up so they are straight. I kind of look like I might belly flop, I dont though.

Legorunbuddy in palm of my hand with my parkrun barcide, position 88. I got 1st in age category and 17th female! Possibly because there is a race tomorrow and people are saving their legs 🤣 dont care taking it as a win. Its my fastest parkrun this year and was a course PB for this course.

Parkrun email. 1st female in age category, fastest time this year and course PB. Ignoring that its 3 mins slower than my pb but it was a good run, thinking Marshall etc as I went round, just enjoyed it.

Parkrun at a different course, a 30 min cycle there but then a swim in the river afterwards. Total joy jumping in. Had a nice run too despite feeling horribly anxious beforehand. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #parkrun #wildswim #swimtounwind #dailyjoy

Selfie after river swim before ice bath plunge. You can see the silver ice baths behind. I am standing on artificial grass, wearing a black crop bikini top with black short style bikini bottoms. My hair is tied back in a bun and I have my garmin and parkrun wristband on my left wrist.

Lovely swim, then ice bath/sauna on repeat. Felt brave, wore a bikini, albeit a sporty one. Finally appreciating my body for what it can do & what is has done instead of trying to make it 'fit' a certain criteria. #swimtounwind #wildswim #icebath #sauna #birthdays #fun #friends #lucky

Taken under the bridge at andersons meadow, 5 swimmers with party hats on. I am in the middle with blue hat and sunglasses. We have tow floats and the river bank is behind. Sunlight reflecting off the water. We are all looking at camera and smiling.

Me floating on my back, I am understanding the bridge, hugging my tow float. The picture is taken from the side, my feet are out of the water, you can see the back of my head with party hat, my shoulders. My duck thermometer is floating behind me. Sunlight reflecting on water.

Looking back towards out entry point you can see other swimmers heading towards us with their party hats and towards floats. The sky is blue, wispy clouds. Trees either side of the river bank and in the distance
