Very proud of this one 😊 I joined him for his last run of 10 miles to round out his marathon week for the @centurionrunning challenge. It was hard work but he got it done 💪 #centurioncommunity #onelove
And that's a wrap for me on the @centurionrunning 100 mile challenge, rounding it out with a glorious run through the Black Country and Waseley Hills 🖤 . Luckily the distance clicked over at the bottom of my road, so I was able to stop in for a slushy and stroll back home, and ease out the legs with a gentle walk with Chris 😊 . Now just the 10 miles together tomorrow to finish off his marathon distance week and we'll both be done! (We have decided that @dadslane_fishshop is on the cards next week as a reward for both of us finishing our challenges 😜) #centurioncommunity #onelove
It's amazing what happens when you go out with no pressure, no plan, and just follow any interesting looking finger post or a gap in the hedge that looks like it might go somewhere. 💚 18 more miles clocked from my doorstep for Centurion week, and for at least half of it I had dirt under my feet 😁 #centurioncommunity #onelove
We're into day 3 of Centurion week and I made the most of a day off work to take a loop through Tolkein Country 🧙‍♂️ and link up the Stratford and Grand Union Canals. What a treat! Sunshine, birds, flowers and lots of green space 💚🌞🌈💃 And then to top it off got to go out for an extra run in the evening with Chris, which brought both of us to around halfway to our respective weekly challenge miles 😊 #centurioncommunity #onelove
Kicked off the Centurion 100 mile week with an absolute corker of a run with wall to wall blue skies, fields, a close encounter with a buzzard and views for miles ❤️ (that moment coming up on top of the Waseleys and being able to see the Malverns is 👌). Even had a stop on the way back for a calippo! 😆 #centurioncommunity #borninthemud
From 'Lessons from Barn Swallows' . 🕊️ . Loving seeing these tiny wanderers swooping and playing overhead again. . . This poem is included in my debut collection, 'a sky the colour of hope' which is available for pre order via @vervepoetrypress (out in print this summer ✌️)
