Easy run on a lovely, cool morning listening to an audiobook for a change . Knee was sore for the first half mile. The audiobook on history of scientific discovery gives another incentive for getting out #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Last run in Cumbria. Was planning an easy 5mi but was so much fun I ran further. There’s a lot of 🐌 on the path, one of which my FB running friends know as Brian - here he is! Coastal path, beach & fields👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Short run along the Cumbrian coast overlooking the Solway Firth and Dumfriesshire. Sunny and hardly a breeze. Knee a bit achy but ok. Perhaps I’ll pass on the ceilidh tonight 😬. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Two runs today in Cumbria . Firstly Maryport Parkrun, my first Parkrun since 2017! Very breezy with a few spots of rain. Then a relaxed run back to Allonby. All good fun 👍. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Good for UEFA and their members. This is precisely what was needed. Infantinos resignation should follow as a condition of this boycott
I’m excited to be going to a wedding on the Cumbrian coast this weekend, I used to live here. Potential for 3 decent nostalgic trail runs - yes!!! I suppose I might also enjoy the wedding 😬. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Rural trail this morning, required a change in shoes. Off-road takes more effort than my urban runs so was a bit of a psychological barrier - glad to do it then 👍. Drizzle throughout , a welcome change. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Physio today. Knee is improving , although the puffiness may take time to reduce. Some recent runs are pain free & the knee strengthening exercises are helping . Single leg balance needs more work. Progress👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Hard going this morning, was it the humidity or that I’ve ignored another Garmin-suggested rest day? Satisfying anyway👍. No knee niggles and I will rest tomorrow when I also will visit with the physio. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Garmin suggested a rest day - no-one wants that negativity! Nice, easy paced run watching ship movements on the Mersey. Knee behaving- I’m being disciplined with the exercises. Monday miles always feel good #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Elon Musk asked for a name of a person he has killed. He got a list.
Out for an early run, prepared for rain but thankfully it held off. Blustery. Had a bit of a run explore before reaching the Mersey in time to see the Belfast ferry arrive. A Productive run apparently #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Celebrating the birthday of Rosalind Franklin whose work revealed the structure of DNA - one of many women who have made significant contributions to science.
Pushing the miles a bit further with my knee rehab. Fab sunshine, perfect conditions. Funny how your brain says you can’t do this and yet you’ve done it before and you still can do it. Mind games ha! #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Rest day yesterday and a run to the Mersey embankment today. Happy to increase my VO2max but I’ve moved to only ‘Maintaining’. Garmin given and Garmin taketh away. Most importantly, it was a fab run 👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
First run of the week, had a PSA blood test yesterday so didn’t run as it would affect the results 😬. Out early & the school holidays have started so it was quiet out there. Knee ok after the first 1/4 mile #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Celebrating the life of Jim Fixx. His books helped make running fun in the 1970s and a way of life ever since. Because of great teachers running and geology have been a joy and a passion. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Early run, nice & quiet out there. Physio appt later to help sort out my knee. Slo-mo video shows my knees collapsing towards the centre rather than tracking straight. That’ll need fixing. More exercises #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Another ‘Productive Run’ 👍. An early run listening to 180bpm music, enjoying the quiet of the morning and seeing the ships on the Mersey. A bit tired today so I took a shortcut home. ‘Do what you can do’ #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
I'm a boomer and have millennial and gen-z daughters who understand why we have vaccines and believe in them. It's not a generational thing. It's an intelligence, critical thinking, feelings over facts thing.
Nice sunny run, increased the pace to beat the Belfast ferry disembarking and subsequent lorry congestion. As a result was blessed by the Garmin gods. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Rest day didn’t go well! Enjoyed yesterday’s run so much, and because this is a 30 mile week, I thought a run today would bank some happy miles. Monday miles always feel good. Rest day tomorrow 🤞. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Quiet, sunny, Sunday morning run. Nice and cool along the Mersey. Slowly building up the miles, knee not painful but still a bit puffy. Rest day tomorrow 😢 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
Out early to catch the East Yorkshire sunrise. Easy paced run enjoying the solitude before the heat of the day. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
On a short break to East Yorkshire. Woke up before 5am and went for a run. Fab misty sunrise, 3 deer, 2 badgers. Best time of the day. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65
