A very happy new year run!

[CBDB]

There is magic when everything comes together on the 1st of January: for me the magic was there this morning! And it was because of my morning run!

The sun was shining!

The dog walkers and families were out in droves, and we made each other that bit happier with every new-year-greeting that we expressed. Just seeing so many happy walkers and runners out and about, smiles all around, hope and joy!

This was the morning after a joy-full and chatty Hogmanay dinner party with friends, raclette, haggis, potatoes and cheese and our kids (sorry, young adults) also reconnecting and chatting about their first years of uni and leaving home life.

Our guests had left before breakfast because of work obligations, but the plus for me was that it gave me time to squeeze in a run this morning! (We’re off to another gathering of friends in the early afternoon)

My health felt good, no after party hangover or tiredness, we had slept in a bit later than normal, which also helped.

So the run was a brilliant energising way to start the year.

Hope everyone has as brilliant first runs of 2024 as I did this morning!

Happy new year!

It sounds like you’ll get lots of feel-good new-years wishes once you get out! Keeping my fingers crossed for you for that opportunity window to open!

How wonderful 😀👍 Great photo, does look a lovely morning. Bit murky here, with showers but met up with sister and husband for a doggie walk in the forest😊

Happy New Year to you and your family, all the best for 2024.

Happy New Year! Doggie and hubby forest walk sounds great! It did cloud over during the rest of the day. But so glad I went!

Happy New Year!
