There was a brief patch of sunshine between the onslaught of Storm Gerrit! I went to the GGW where the trees offer some shelter, and the puddles weren't *too* bad 🌲

January 4, 2024,Day 4 - actual sunshine! ☀️

Realised I havent used my sunglasses in several weeks! So grateful for a blue sky today 😎

April 14, 2024,Struggle Bus! Getting running legs back after 3 bike ultras in a row 😥

I did three ultra distance bike races in the span of two months - and running was sacrificed! Went back to a favourite loop with Lola today and she was a lot faster than me 😂
