Joy Run #1: Trees 🌳
Ready, Set, Grow!

Today is the day!
Joy Runs is now officially a thing and our first theme is Trees 🌳
Thanks for joining me on this test run (pun intended 😉).
Here’s How It Works
This Week’s Joy Run: Trees 🌳
Trees are deeply personal. How you interpret this theme can be too.
It could be:
running to that otherworldly forest on the edge of town
your favourite picnic spot
the make-believe world you played in as kids
the apple tree now offering gifts
your local equivalent of the sycamore gap
the horse chestnut that generously spills conkers in autumn
a park’s trees reaching for the sky in summer
morning sunlight bursting through a tree’s leaves
Or something else altogether.
Run it your way. In fact, the more varied the better. The beauty is in the community. I’ll be sharing lots of examples on social media throughout the week.
I’m excited to see where it takes you!
Hit ‘Reply’ if you’ve any questions at all.

PS. as this is the first ever Joy Run there might be a bit of freewheeling – sorry about any bumps in the forest
