Setting off to run to work this morning it definitely felt like the start of autumn. For the first mile I wished I’d dug out a pair of gloves, my hands were pretty chilly.

In the spirit of ‘don’t be sad it’s over…’ I spent the nine mile run thinking of nine great things that happened this summer. Here they are…

1 My sister’s first 10k race!

Here’s my sister finishing her first ever 10k on a windy airfield in Cambridgeshire. #WeRunHuntingdon

2 Cycling to Holland

3 Copenhagen marathon (and lots of beer with friends)

4 Sunset Relay in Lapland

That time I went running in the Arctic Circle. #tbt #sunsetrelay

5 Another great bunch of beginner runners graduated from my 0-5k course

Ran 5 miles to the Parkrun to run with this brilliant bunch of runners. #mytrainingweek
