Today I did something completely different. I spent the whole day (9-5pm) learning about health, wellbeing and nutrition with a group of ladies and the 3 leaders @run_well_workshops We even got a couple of freebies thrown in for good measure! Thank you so much @chiacharge @ultimatedirectioneu for delicious flapjacks and a gorgeous soft water bottle 👌🏻 • • #runnerscommunity #running #fellrunning #peakdistrict #wellbeing #health #fitness #nourishment #eating #sleeping #stress #hillrunning #derbyshire #sunday #sundayrunday #retreat

To break up the monotony of running posts, here’s a pic of my first ever cheesecake 🙌🏻 I made it last night using a recipe from @boothscountry I saw on @instagram a while ago. It’s a no bake gin cheesecake 🍸 Made with a ginger biscuit base and lime juice and zest 🍋 Lovely tangy flavours with just a hint of the citrus gin I’d bought from @marksandspencer in the cream cheese topping. I’ll definitely be making more and experimenting with different gin/fruit combinations - I’m thinking blackberry gin with blueberries on top could also be 👌🏻 • • • #cheesecake #nobake #nobakedessert #nobakecheesecake #lime #gin #ginstagram #ginger #pudding #summer #summerpudding #homemade #whippedcream #creamcheese #nomnom #alcoholic

There were lots of things that made our school summer fair so special yesterday. It was a real #community event made possible by the help and kindness of so many people. The weather was absolutely perfect and as well as lots of preloved items for sale, tempting treats and fun and games on offer, it was wonderful to have some unusual attractions such as this amazing restored steam engine from 1904. • • • #summer #summerfair #fete #fête #schoolfete #gala #schoolgala #steam #steamengine #familytime #July #engineering #vehicle #wheels #industrial #steampower #bluesky #heatwave

Ending the first day of a busy week with a dog walk. It’s a rest day after pacing a half marathon yesterday although my legs have felt pretty normal. It’s 8pm and another glorious evening so the dogs are enjoying a run in the fields whilst I clear my head and prepare for tomorrow. • • • #dogwalking #dogsofinstagram #dailydogwalk #dailydog #July #summer #summerevening #heatwave #optoutside #restday #monday #mondaymotivation

June was a busy month all way round! I took part in 5 races; Swaledale fell marathon, a club race at Holme Pierrepoint, the Summer Solstice 10k, the Round Sheffield Run and finally another local club trail race Elmton Chase. I’m pleased to have logged even more ascent than I did in May this month, even though much of it was walked or run at a very steady pace. June has featured some of my favourite runs of the year so far, despite the heat! I’ll definitely be back for next year’s summer solstice 10k and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed RSR so I would really like another bash at that to see if I can reduce the walking during the timed stages. I’ve already kicked off July by pacing a @race_for_life_ half @clumberparknt this morning, and I’m taking part in @runatworld this month so intrigued to see how many miles I can log. • • • @womensrunninguk @womensrunningmagazine @trailrunningmag #trailracing #trailrunning #fellrunning #fellrace #ascent #runrise #riseandrun #optoutside #countryside #racing #hills #peakdistrict #peakdistrictrunning #medalmonday

Yesterday I ran the @roundsheffieldrun for the first time. It was a race I had heard about and managed to enter as soon as places opened as it sold out straight away. I didn’t fully understand where it went, or what the format was - I knew there were different stages with breaks in between, but I do like an element of surprise when running. I was in the first wave (after the elites) and ran alone without any expectations or pressure on myself for a particular time. I walked most of the hills as well as the stretches between stages which are time limited but not timed, so you can walk along and have a set amount of time after which time penalties are applied. I kept my watch going and the total distance was just under 15 miles which took me 3.13, with my 20k chip time at 2.02. There were only a couple of miles of the route that I had previously run, but it was virtually all trail with some walking on roads and through residential areas. I was born in Sheffield but it was wonderful to explore some new areas. The route was mostly shaded and the 8.35 start meant the heat wasn’t an issue, though I was very ready for the pint of @thornbridge low alcohol beer plus what’s not to love about a medal that’s also a bottle opener? A great event which I’m keen to book onto again next year. • • • #sheffield #trailrunning #trailrace #trailracing #peakdistrict #medal #medalmonday #womensrunningcommunity #optoutside #sundayrunday #runrise #riseandrun #isotonic #lowalcohol #refreshing
