I sought eye contact and smiled at EVERY person in the park yesterday on my run. Just a big kind smile even during speed intervals! And 99% smiled back, some appeared surprised they were not 'invisible' and looked genuinely happy to smile back!

Indeed! As a slow runner I recognise some of these self-limiting practices which... I decided to overcome last year! I even have a coach now! Me - 5hrs marathoner😅
Working with a coach helped me train better, be braver and trust my abilities more. I'm getting stronger and faster too! #running
Very few of us have access to the track. I do my speedwork in a local park with the workouts I created in Garmin Connect and uploaded to my watch. I use the track on holidays in Poland (there is a free access one next to my sister's home) but I don't really enjoy running on track - bit boring! 😜
I thought we had a bit more time. Sadly, he's no longer with us. He was a wonderful companion for over 13y.
He travelled Europe, was with us when children were born and survived when we added crazy Vizsla to our family.
#Grief when loosing a #pet is horrible and took me by surprise💔

As you can see this #PhD Researcher is very enthusiastic about her project!! 🤣

Looking forward to this plenary!
It's good to reflect and talk about the #assisteddying irrespective of our position about the issue.

This paper is a helpful reminder of importance of consistent and scheduled #writing!
I've recently started to write everyday but the paper offers tips how to make it more structured and effective🤩
Thanks @johnmacartney.bsky.social and Rachel Perry!

It is truly difficult to comprehend that we are witnessing this dystopian situation.
As a Polish woman with family trauma of WWII and then the communist regime, I'm watching in disbelief.

This is an important new report from @cancerresearchuk.org.
In more deprived areas there are higher levels of cancer incidence, higher prevalence of cancer risk factors, less engagement with screening programmes, and worse diagnosis and survival outcomes.

Thrilled to showcase this stunning commissioned painting, translating my research into visual art, at the @mariecurieeolc.bsky.social conference last week! It highlights vital role of Healthcare Assistants in delivering hospice care at home.

Are there any projects combining my two passions—running and palliative care? E.g. research into running for coping with dying, bereavement, etc. Would love to learn more! #running #trailrunning #palliativecare #EOLcare #Health #palliative #publichealth #hospice #AcademicSky #hospicesky
Huge, old, never-ending forests!
I currently live in Northern Ireland and all the forests near Belfast can be run around within 1hr. So much tree coverage has been lost here over recent centuries😭
In Poland forests are much bigger and you can run for hours without doing any loops.
After few days #running in the snow it's a shock coming back to a grey Belfast.
I miss the snow and polish forests!

We’re excited to announce the launch of new research priorities for palliative and end of life care!

The new priority setting work for palliative and end of life care research led by @mariecurieuk.bsky.social @jameslindalliance.bsky.social

"I had to come back three times. I believed that it was possible"
Watching Jasmin Paris finishing Barkley marathons last year always brings tears to my eyes.

What an incredible achievement!

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
Same in Ukraine...
