Good morning 🌞

A really beautiful sunrise this morning, so blessed to be out, and doing another day with 1km runs with a 300m walks, Now programmed this into the watch, as this is for the immediate future at least, is all I am allowed to do.

Like yesterday my right foot was tired at the end of this, so cold therapy, stretching when I got home, and a core workout.

Coffee and.breakfast now, as, a day of writing and procrastination is ahead πŸ˜… #Running #BarefootRunning #VFFRunning #AlienRunners

Good morning πŸŒ…

First run after bruising my heel a few weeks ago, then taking the last 8 days off, to help it not feel like my foot had been hobbled by Annie Wilkes's sledgehammer.

Today I walked for 250m, then ran a 1km then walked 250m and repeated until I was back home, useful post injury training, not generally how I like to run, but needs must.

Just done my post run cool down Stretching and also core, so now I need of coffee.

I started week 5 of my training today: 2x(2’/R1’ + 3’/R2’). This is PΓ©pite after our run. I guess we’re both out of shape.
Then I thought it might help my nerves if I use my TENS unit, didn’t feel anything in my right leg and a tiny little bit on the left although I had the intensity on maximum. So useless πŸ₯Ί
At least running is going a bit better πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Good morning 🌞

Set a later alarm this morning, got 8hrs sleep - got up, sorted out three hungry felines, did a flat white for the other half, then stretched and went for my run.

Bright sunshine, 22Β°c @ 8am, I managed to forget my running cap, and only noticed I wasn't wearing it about a km in, which meant sweat in the eyes later on, always the downside of warm running is one very moist human πŸ˜…

Logged my 600th km for the year so far today.

Good morning 🌞

An absolutely sensational sunrise this morning, the colours took my breath away, and I'm not sure my shitty phone camera did it justice...still we try.

The sun was coming up as I ran up Mgarr hill, I've never run up this hill (only down it) It's definitely harder going up... πŸ˜‚ The OZ Engineering sign made me think of the Starship Enterprise.

So, 15km - inc my fastest 5km of 2026 to begin. I need coffee now.

Good morning 🌞

Long easy below aerobic threshold run this morning, on the asphalt trail. The morning started in the dark with a heavy sea fog worthy of James Herberts novel - so thick and wet that it hugged you, you almost couldn't see your hand in front of your face. The roads were awash with freezing water as if a quick storm had rolled past, then when the sun came up it was a perfect cloudless blue sky for the back half of my run home.

Good morning 🌞

Started today's run in the dark.
Wore my hydration vest, without the water bladder, but took a small soft flask with electrolytes.
The reason for the vest, is because I have clip on lights for it, which are really neat, it makes a change not to wear a headlamp.

15k - nice muddy trails and filthy puddles, the slop from Friday mornings sandy rain.
HR kept creeping up, dunno why? I didn't feel it RPE wise, perhaps I was peckish.

Hello my dear peeps, an update on my health. Although clinically there is a lot of improvement the ENMG didn’t show any progress. So, I have mixed feelings. No treatment coming up, unless I deteriorate. Anyway, I’m slowly building up the πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ. I’m at 4x2’ with 2’ walking in between. Last year I planned to run the Rotterdam marathon to πŸ₯³ my 60th birthday. I’m 60 now, Garmin thinks I’m 20 🀭.

Good morning β˜οΈπŸŒ§οΈβ˜”

Got out this morning after the high wind warning was lifted, no such luck for the rain or the cold. My best description of today is a filthy dirty day.

Anyway, got a nice long run in, hills and trails, mud and puddles, and even though I managed to avoid the really heavy rain, I didn't avoid the rain. It wasn't especially windy and tbh I didn't see any wind damage from the last few days, coffee and porridge now.

Morning β˜€οΈ

A little late leaving this morning, but I needed my head torch due to the clock messing, still it was a nice run all the same. One day maybe we won't have to keep changing the clocks - wouldn't that be good!

Anyway, I did the turn back at the halfway point, mainly to keep it as off the main road and on the trail as much as possible, it was a little nippy start to the day with the morning temp at 10Β°c, so no hanging around.
