- My boys❤️💔 Last big walk.
- I thought we had a bit more time. Sadly, he's no longer with us. He was a wonderful companion for over 13y. He travelled Europe, was with us when children were born and survived when we added crazy Vizsla to our family. #Grief when loosing a #pet is horrible and took me by surprise💔

- "I had to come back three times. I believed that it was possible" Watching Jasmin Paris finishing Barkley marathons last year always brings tears to my eyes. (100miles and 60,000ft elevation gain) What an incredible achievement! #inspiration #hero #running #trailrunning youtu.be/YLX5b2qYlaY?...
- Reposted by Kasia PatynowskaAuschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

- Beautiful writing... one to read again, slowly. 'Consolation, of course, is never permanent, always needs to be reinforced and reimagined if it is to keep sustaining and centering us, for in each of us there is a pendulum that keeps swinging between hope and despair.' #palliativecare
- I needed to get to the city centre to get a book from a library. After quick calculations it turned out the quickest way was to run there and back. 14.5km done but I got some weird looks from a librarian! 😅 Now, back to my research governance application... #running #balance #busyschedule

- Rest is important but quality of the rest even more. I love Xmas break from work filled with running, sleep, laugh, cooking & baking, playing games, cycling.... AND decluttring! 😅 Finally, got to sort #Lego sets - mindful and satisfying activity with kids.

- Sneaking out of the house before anyone wakes up to enjoy #sunrise run with my dog alongside River Lagan 🤩 Runs like this one allow me to cope with anything the rest of the day may bring. #selfcare #running #trailrunning
- Hopes vs. reality... Trying to make a family Christmas but ended up with a glass of wine disappointed that I'm the only the only one who cares. Are 'wonderful family Christmas' overrated and idealised image we strive to achieve at the cost to ourselves? 🥺 #Christmas #mother #family
