I'm still out and about running. Run of the Month was Loch Lomond 10k and one of the best yet. Stunning route which I slowed down to enjoy, learning that having a fun time is more important than a fast time 🙂

The Big Hike is done! 🥇😁 26 miles of incredible scenery and very rocky paths. Proud to be the fastest finisher, even if my legs are feeling it now. 🥾Thank you to everyone who supported such a great cause, I loved it!

4th Month, 4th medal. Had a great time with Scurry Events around the Kelpies, loved the route (saw a heron) and appreciated the snacks and buff at the end. 42 seconds off my goal...should have played my 'go-faster' playlist a bit sooner 😆

Photo of a square medal, on a backdrop of a race number. The medal text reads 'Helix 10km' and features two silver Kelpie heads

One month to go!! How has it come around so fast 😁All I want is good weather-PLEASE. If anyone can help me reach the £100 milestone for Cancer Research that would be incredible 🫶 fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/natasha...

Wrens are my favourite, they're so small and round like little fairy bumblebees

🌷Happy Easter everyone! I'm currently swamped with client work in the run up to the book fair, so no time for fun art. Here are some Easter Bilbies from a few year back in the meantime #kidlitart

Had a great time in Edinburgh seeing Chez Kane launch her new album 🤩Amazing performance and so lovely to meet. Here's to bringing 80's rock back 🤘

It's fancy...and I want in! 🥹

Run of the Month: Callander 10K. The weather was terrible and I wasn't in the mood 😩which is a shame because the course was great. Maybe the next run will go better🫠 🏅

This year I'm taking on @cancerresearchuk.org's Big Hike Marathon. Last year the Big C came into my families life, and although we used words like 'it's not the worst one', all Cancer is Cancer. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. 💗 Here's a link to my fundraising page: shorturl.at/CidXC

Finding runs that aren't at the weekend is very tricky, but had a great time at The Meadows 5k. Another medal in the bag and back in the sub 25 min club 😀

First running medal of the year from the Simon Howie Puddin' Race. Took it nice and easy and just had fun. A really well organised event, so will certainly be back next year. I've started marathon training, so hoping to try and get to an event each month to keep me motivated 👟

OMG have you seen the new Jellycat? I saw it and instantly thought of Puppy

Natasha Rimmington@natasharimmington· Oct 13

So your telling me there's a local race where I can run around someone's field to get a medal AND a haggis? And then wear it on a rather nice black t-shirt...First race of '26 confirmed! 😄🏅

I've always used social media for art, but never personal life, so it's tricky to get into the habit of it. 🏃‍♀️I'm back to running again using a walk/run mix as my ankle continues to recover. I'd like to be back to half marathon level by New Year🤞 Big challenges planned for 2026

DNS 😞Guess where I'm not. Today I should have been taking part in Edinburgh Trail Escape, but due to spraining my ankle early July it was a no go. 🏅Deferred entry to next year (because I want to enjoy it and not limp around having a bad time)

A new month and a new book! ✨Where's The Axolotl ✨Out today with Arcturus Publishing- and it's even in hardback 💗 #newbook #kidlitart #kidlit

Throwback to 2017 when my art looked a little different 🫣 Completely forgot about the donated tennis balls, tempted to give it a redraw sometime 🥎 #kidlit #kidlitart

Another behind the scenes! The fast food spread was one of my favourite scenes to draw, especially for the mouse in the taco outfit. As an easter egg, you'll find the van from 'Taco Truck' (published 2023) which was based on the van from Overcooked 2🦜 #wip #kidlitart #newbook
