For the last few years I've set myself the aim of running 1000 miles a year, usually failing because I get ill for a week and then can't catch up. Turns out all you need to do is train for and enter a silly long race!
Dust bowl farmer driving tractor with young son, near Cland i.e. Claud?, New Mexico. "I left cotton growing east of Wichita Falls to come out here to get to grow wheat. (The superior status of wheat over cotton farmers is traditional.) I guess I've made 1000 miles right up and down this field in the dust when you couldn't see that car on the road, and had to use headlights. This soil is the best there is anywhere, but it sure does blow when it's right. If you stay in the house and wait for the dust to stop you won't make a crop. But I"ve seen only one year since I came here in 1920 that I didn't make something"

Brilliant run down into this deep and remote valley to see this wee church. Its been there nearly 800 years. In the cliffs around you can see the ruins of the little community that was there. We even had to walk under one of the rock, well more half a cliff, that had fallen down.

Today's run'n'sniff with Irish mutt. He really enjoys it, but easy does it for him still. He found a stick at the end and told it what is what, but it retaliated by leaving much bark on his tongue, which annoyed him ;)

Today's run as meh, just didn't have it in me. Couldn't get into it. Had a few slow weeks - admin, travelling and weather - but the runs had been good and I enjoyed them. But today nope, nada, no, nej. Wanted to go out and looked forward to get the run done before the worst of the weather hit us. Just didn't get going. I think it's because that I've been good with getting enough protein in me, just totally forgot an didn't eat or drink enough beforehand today. Still managed 4.5km run'n'sniff with added play with small mutt.

Snow man, done. Sadly the big mutt didn't read my memo about yellow snow ...

The m'home had to go in for a service so I decided to run back from the garage. Set off in thick icy fog and ended up looking down at the frosty fog below. This run was only "ruined" by a detour around a farm, they were bringing in the cows, so going on the footpath through the farm might not be a grand idea with a mutt. So we detoured through a field with deep mud. Mutt wasn't happy that she needed a hose down at the end, even if the water was warm.

Two loops around with the mutts, one lap each. Fresh morning and a great view of Pendle Hill and Colne in the fog.
