Can’t believe it’s Hogmanay already.

This holiday has gone so quickly, probably because of all the running!!

I’ve now ran 45kms since Christmas Eve.

I can’t believe it.

I don’t know where it came from.

I don’t know why I chose to do it.

Yet I have loved it.

Not every minute of it…..obviously… but it’s become a bit on an addiction!

I’m done now.

Until Saturday anyway.

This is my current reality.

This morning I woke at 6 and dozed on and off until 7.45am.

We were meeting to complete our last run of the year and heading to Irvine Beach.

There were 4 of us today. Caryn, Elly, Lynsey and myself.

The weather wasn’t as good as we hoped. It was damp and very windy. But beautiful. 🤩

The reflections are lovely.

Now this is Lynsey…… you all think I’m crazy with all this running but this is her completing 750 miles running for 2025!

How amazing is that?!? What an achievement.

I am so grateful to Lynsey, Rachel and Claire for always being available to help with my running. There is always one of us running a Wednesday and a Saturday.

They make it easy for me. They meet outside my house.

Running isn’t easy but the feeling afterwards is just the best feeling in the world.

I am very proud of myself for running at a time when it would be easy to lounge about and just keep eating.

The lovely weather has definitely helped.

And we are done for 2025… another 6.15kms.

We went to Gro Coffee for a takeaway latte to celebrate!

I took photos of the cakes but, after all that exercise, I didn’t fancy one.

This was the lovely fireplace in Gro!

Congratulations Lynsey!!

A well deserved cuppa!

Craig is making bacon rolls for us.

Today will be a lazy day I think.

I’ve hit the wall… 😆

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who reads my blog.

I know most people dip in and out but the ere are some people are there every single day.

That’s commitment!

I’m coming up to 6 years of writing this on the daily.

I’m still not certain how The Rambling Sloth fits with Her Travel Circle but I’m sure that will come.

For now I’d like to wish you all a calm and peaceful New Year.

2026 won’t be better than 2025. There will be highs and lows, we accept that now.

It’s all about how we navigate it.

Happy New Year when it comes.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
