Weirdly misty morning. Bimbly recovery run/plod this morning. Tuesday is a PA day so off to gym & pool later! #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #recovery
Starting the week with an easy..ish 10km. Its getting warm already. Not complaining as I like it but the humidity is yuck for running. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #morningmiles #summer
Small who 'failed,/staff could not get to ever complete phonics assessments or SATS & has been out of school with no formal 'teaching/learning' since sept 24, is laid in bed reading Kays anatomy to me. Its wild the progress a child can make with the right support. #SEND #complexneeds #smallchildlife
Easy evening base miles. Exactly what garmin said, no more, no less. Thoroughly enjoyed that. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #unwind
A week of holiday running. 21 miles, including a parkrun on the prom. Every run followed by a swim in the sea. Loved running this week. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #morningmiles #wildswim
An early doors run &wild swim before a long day in the car. Currently about half way. I needed to make sure I moved & filled my cup to the navigate the journey with smalls. But will be worth of it to have all six of my babies together for a week! #running2keepthecrazyaway #wildswim #legorunbuddy
2 hours childcare so went for walk around the broad before a quick swim. Space to just be. #eveningwalk #wildswim #lucky #whittlingham
Easy 5km with still grumpy lungs before trip to the GP. He has given more oral steroids 🙄 I am his best & worst kind of patient.. running=good... not stopping running when asthma is flaring...not so good. Summer, pollen means just keep plodding. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy
Run, gym, swim. Its wild how much a slow 2km swim regualtes my nervous system. I feel like a whole new person. Yay for childcare & a proper break, that was SO needed. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #swimtounwind #gym #metime #selfcare
NEW POST: The vital flexibility of EOTAS provision is at risk from the new SEND proposals, says Joanna Gibbs of SENsational Tutors. She says the lack of details about alternative provision and specialist tutors is worrying families who rely on it. www.specialneedsjungle.com/send-reform-...
Sunday morning, Junior parkrun, marshalling duties. Loving the new milestone wristbands! #juniorparkrun #parkrun #milestones #highvisheroes

A F#ck it dinner after 8pm.. end of term tired. And yet the endless admin/battling/advocating goes on. Tomorrow is another day & we have a plan for the holidays at least. No sleep yet, small is not even in bed... #endofterm #treat #tired #keepgoing
4 days no running due to asthma flare. Prednisolone kicking in a bit so a gentle couple of miles this morning. Peak flow had dropped by over 50% 🙄 its improving slowly. So frustrating when i really NEED to run right now. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #keepgoing
Tired, tired, tired. 3 nights of no more than 3 hrs sleep in a row...Crawling to the end of term & hoping the support systems we are prepping help. Did have a lovely morning at junior parkrun, have dealt with a tonne of admin. Bought myself some flowers & posters. Final week... keepgoing #tired
Late in the day, super easy recovery run, as per garmin. Tbf garmin says I am productive and my vo2 is improving so maybe following a plan is a good thing. Lets see how I feel after tomorrows 'sprints'.. 🤣 #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #garmin #recoveryrun
Forgot to post this morning. Base miles with a 95% execution rate. Absolutely taking praise from my garmin, which also is telling me I am productive. Slowly, slowly clawing fitness back. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #base #recovery
Garmin said recovery day due to poor sleep... 🙄 so 5 hump day zone 2 easy miles. Really enjoyed that. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #morningmiles #humpday #keepgoing
Easy base miles. Trying to follow garmin plan,I do like that it adjusts for poor sleep. And the easy miles are appreciated by my asthma at the moment. Pollen & humidity = grumpy lungs. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #morningmiles #asthma #base #keepgoing
A base run, tail walking, which was VERY much a run for junior parkrun, then a mile bimble. I still need to a body circuit workout.... #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #highvisheroes #garmin

Very nearly didnt get out of bed, shout out to another lovely runner who gave me a gentle nudge which was the prompt I needed. 7km nice & easy on a slightly cooler morning. The pollen though.. my asthma is not happy. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #tomatoes
NEW POST: Measure What Matters & @romillyweeks.bsky.social ITV, disclose the testimony of an LA SEND whistleblower, exposing the toxic culture of obstruction rooted inside England's SEND services. It's not only unchecked, it's encouraged. Read it here: www.specialneedsjungle.com/toxic-cultur...
Got to love a PAP response with LA acknowledging breach of order, saying yes they will provide but they cant give a timeframe.. so what they have been saying for last 3 months then. FML. The provision needed is in place, ready to go, they just need to sort out the admin, how hard can it be?#send
Tired 5km run, then a mile walk, but garmin says I am productive at least. Misty is always pleased to see me when I get back. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #blackcat #Mistymoo
Forgot to post 6am miles. Bit short of 5 miles as garmin died. Nice & gentle before work & with the humidity & pollen messing with my asthma. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #morningmiles #running
