Normally I would have handed the hosting reins back to Ojo's World but she is having a break this month so has left the linky with me! Hopefully I will continue to look after it well.. We need to share the love a bit more and get more folks joining in with this mood lifting linky. Please share and join in this week. My own reasons to be cheerful this week are:
1) Blast from the past
Inspired by my old Guide blanket I have started a macrame owl kit:
It is really satisfying to re-learn a forgotten skill and to see how it grows. Those half hitches are satisfying to conquer! When finished I will blog more about it...
2) Marshalling at Parkrun
I don't often get to volunteer at our Parkrun as I have to find another responsible adult to run with my son. Luckily the regulars are all very friendly and I know which ones run the course in a similar time to him! So on Saturday I was on of the team of marshals on a very cold day at Fell Foot. It is such a pleasure to be able to encourage people with a comment or a wave. I even had a chance to take plenty of photographs too. This is my son on his way to 16th male position in the event:
3) Winter Run
I have already blogged about my trip to Manchester for the race. There were so many reasons to smile about the day including:
- meeting other mummy runners
- the atmosphere
- my finish time
- the support from my daughter

This Sunday I got to put all my running training to the test in an organised event the Winter Run in Manchester. Very early in the morning I got on my race number and dragged my daughter down the motorway to Manchester:
When we got to the Eithad Stadium there was plenty going on to entertain the runners and their supporters:
My daughter took a chance to pose on the "winner's" podium (there was too much of a queue at the end for me to have a go!):
