Running

It's official. I've started to actually enjoy running, rather than doing it because it's a goal, and I get competitive!! Clare and I ran our first 10k the other night, and whilst the time wasn't great, we were running cross country and largely uphill. There was such a sense of achievement when we got back!
I'm really enjoying running now because we're now sometimes running out through the fields and trees, and it's just so beautiful!

It amazes me that we see an improvement in our fitness every time we go out... although I would have never gotten to this stage if it weren't for Clare dragging me out to run, come what may!! She got the bug long ago! And I honestly never thought I'd look forward to going out for a run, but here I am looking forward to going out tonight and covering some distance.
Clare writes our running blog at the mo, so go check that out too:

Home

I honestly never thought I would feel at home anywhere... that's probably a strange thing to say, but ever since I moved out of my parents home when I was 18 or so, nowhere really ever felt like home. Nothing ever felt permanent... not that anything ever is, I guess I just never felt like I was staying anywhere. Since I got back from Canada it just made me realise... I'm here, I'm home. I feel like this is the right place for me. 

Out on a run the other night, we ran up through some fields... then just stopped to look back the other way. I love this part of the world, I love all the trees, and the open feel to everything. This time of year is amazing everything is so green and bright. It makes me happy. 
Especially after winter which just makes me wanna hibernate! I don't even mind all the rain because all the trees look so alive! 
Love and Home
