Wow I was on a roll this morning!

I woke at 4.30am.

I changed the bed last night and it was soooo lovely. I was in bed for just after 8.30pm! It’s funny when we’re kids we spend all our lives trying to stay up late, now I find that bed can be the best bit.

I managed to doze on and off until 6am when I jumped out of bed and got into my running gear, to take the dogs for a walk, before I met the running girls. There had been a hint of the run going a bit further than usual so I didn’t want the dogs to miss out.

It was very dark, but I had the three pupsketeers and my headtorch on.

When it came to it. I didn’t feel safe walking on the backroads so we walked the streets…. If you’ve been in our wee village you will know that takes all of 5 minutes!

So we headed out the main road which felt safer.

I love this photo I took of my friend’s house. She has Halloween decs up and the clouds looked amazing against the super moon.

Her spider webs are glistening in the light.

We carried on in the dark.

Everything looked so atmospheric with the way the moon shone on the clouds.

I love our wee cottage.

So 4 of us set off at 6.45am. It felt really good to start. I was buzzing to be back out running.

I love that we catch up on all the news while we run. Sometimes you don’t even realise you’re running for that distance.

When we were round about the 5k mark, Rachel suggested that we run a bit further so Lynsey, Rachel and I headed up the hill….

First a quick team 5k pic!

Then we’re off….

I found it hard going . I had to walk for a few minutes at times, just to get my breath back.

By the time we got back into the village we were close to 9kms and we ALL knew we had to run up the hill to the and hit the 10k!!

We did it!

It’s says it’s my third fastest 10k and to be fair it is only my third 10k….. 🫣😆 so it was my slowest but I need to stop looking at the times.

If you’d told me I’d have run 3 x 10k this year I’d never have believed you. Rachel and I were going to run “round the block” once a week, which is less that 3k…. I felt like that would be a struggle.

Look at us now.

I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved. What I’ve achieved….. and I can’t thank all of the girls enough, for being there to help me do it.

Sooooo… back in to the house to hang up the washing I’d put on before I went out 😆 I hear myself…. Who actually am I these days?!?!

Then after my shower it was down to the little gift shop for the morning.

The shop looks amazing!!!

The Christmas stuff is beautiful again this year. It was so busy this morning. Christmas things are flying it the door already. It was so lovely to get a catch up though not much time to chat!

It’s been a beautiful afternoon. There’s been a warmth to the sun.

I started putting clothes up for sale on Vinted as it was nice to take photos in the sun.

I lost my spark after about 3.30pm. I’m shattered now and it’s no wonder.

Craig and Khaleesi are still down south and the house is a dog short! I’m in my comfies and I’m going to light the candles and settle down for the evening.

And relax…. my friend Ruth sent me this… we should all look for glimmers.

I’ve had so many glimmers today.

Have a lovely Saturday and please be careful in tomorrow’s storm if you’re in the UK. It’s not looking great.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
