Arrived back in HK a few days ago to miserable weather and a tripwire political climate. Sitting in my thinking chair at home tonight replaying a ton of awesome memories from the past few weeks I glanced over to notice the shield from the HK Trail Running Awards that I picked up before I left. Had completely forgotten about it! What a nice ‘welcome home’ sign it was. Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for me 😊🙏🏻 ♥️ I’ve run trails all over the globe but have yet to find a community as good as the one we have here! 🤗 (at Hong Kong) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0n0zQtD0eA/?igshid=xmvvl27ff2h9

A year ago today. Might as well have been a lifetime ago. Miss these people and rocky ridges ⛰ 🏃‍♂️ (at Lantau Peak) https://www.instagram.com/nictinworth/p/BvcxZDMnCRz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11q3i9vhbdp3q

Last run of a truly awful year, but I’m glad I could get up here for this classic year ender atop my beloved High West. GFYS 2018 🖕🏻💥 Wishing you and yours the very best for 2019. Thankful for all the kind comments and messages of support over the past six months 🙏🏻 (at High West) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsDLYiynDmW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10jl8o5jko9m4

I’d almost forgotten how beautiful the Pui O to Mui Wo Coastal Path run is. A great one for concentrating on breathing and cadence. Really happy at how fluid everything felt today and even ran the uphills. Super run! 🤗 (at Cheung Sha Wan, Hong Kong) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br4J_8zHR2N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1stux0i6q82yt

Back out on some of my favourite #Lantau #trails this morning- squeezing the most out of a wonderful Christmas morning. I won’t lie - I bit off more than I could chew but it was worth every forced breath. These two are always good company too. Counting down to Trailblazer- three weeks! Wishing you all an excellent #Christmas with your family and/or friends. 🤗 ♥️ (at Country of Origin) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br0BCECnhjH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xamzqfgxm68z

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” — John Muir (📷 @nia_cooper) (at Chamonix, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpUUdTuDBPn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wuoo78ea5spt

Deep thoughts with RD @williamsargentinhongkong at the start of the @barclaysmoontrekker last Friday evening. Serious case of FOMO 😩 📷 by @elton_lam - thanks 🙏🏻 (at Mui Wo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpOudqZj9Vg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1toqoxidtr3yw

Sunday morning strolling on Pik Shan and then a coffee run to Winstons in SYP. Life slowly returns to ‘normal’ 😀 (at Pik Shan Path 碧珊徑) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo5hLZ2DMUg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ox6p3wnnu1ys

Can’t race obviously, so today I did the next best thing and crewed for @nia_cooper and @tanyapirate on their Raleigh Challenge quest with @drvertigo. Great day out! (at 飛鵝山 Kowloon Peak / Fei Ngo Shan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo3s_2oD1fA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1noi97uzmr6fs

You GUYS - I’m running again - ON TRAIL!! 🤗 Let’s talk milestones - post surgery my couch to 5k plan was 4-6 months. Actual: 3 weeks 🧠 💥 🤛🏼 🖕🏻🖕🏻 FUCK YOU CANCER I WILL WIN THIS 🖕🏻🖕🏻 (at High West) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1GkwkDIHQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13k8koamia6uy

Trying to get comfortable / confident being out in the dark again. May take a while but it will come back! 💥 👊🏻 (at Morning Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoylPxwj-MM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fuk5fwe74tw7

So immensely proud to have run with this group of lovely people at the 2015 @barclaysmoontrekker and finish 2nd team overall and 1st mixed team, on a new course. Will miss being a part of this excellent event this year 😭 The ebb and flow and highs and lows of team running still fascinate me and I think I get a lot more out of it personally than running solo - the dynamics are certainly much more accentuated.
