Tolerated 50 something dad, grandad & other half. Displaced Newcastle United supporter. Run a lot chasing sanity with my dog, Across miles of rural Scotland. Thought I caught it once. Mostly harmless.
Cloudy, breeze, mild, damp Struggled. Felt my Achilles burn from 2 mile in. Ran on my heels but my calf clenched up with a couple of miles to go. Kept turning over til the Finish. 3 weeks rest just not enough. Lots of experience points and I can't walk. #running #runsky #runningpunks
Sunny, calm, hot, dry. Wilbur dog run testing Achilles (R) to bear my weight after resting a strain I couldn't walk on. Dog is buckled in the heat and Achilles is tender. #running #runsky #runningpunks
Days 365+175, 176, 177 Late World Cup nights and bad habits caused a flat footed final consecutive run. Woke next morning with a burning Achilles I couldn't put weight on so needed time to recover. Happy with over 500 days and 3000 miles though 🍻 The end. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kad ay
Day 365+174 - Light rain, breeze, mild, damp. Had an existential wobble wondering why I feel driven to #run every day, then went for a run. Mentally very tough decision today after burning too much of both candle ends. I was #running like a square wheel along the road. #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+173 - Broken cloud, breeze, warm, dry. Wilbur dog solstice sunshine shuffle. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+172 - Sunny, breeze, warm, damp. Started with the feel of wellies on my feet that eased over time. Just a couple of hours sleep last night. Morocco's early goal was a dagger! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+171 - Cloudy, breeze, mild, damp. Consecutive watch suggested rest days and I'm not arguing after a couple of disrupted sleep nights. Relaxed Wilbur dog recovery wander on a muggy morning. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+169 - Showers, breeze, mild, wet. Relaxed pace around the area with higher HR than expected. 10min walk to catch up with a seldom seen face. Enjoyed the #run, collecting surplus calories. Forgot the Bodyglide, fusing my arse cheeks together. Nae fine. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+168 - Overcast, calm, mild, damp. Tired run after a late night getting a new crochet pattern and newsletter ready to publish with proceeds to the local primary school football teams. Pattern link below👇😉 #crochet #Scotland #tartanarmy #football #soccer #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+167 - Cloudy, breeze, cool, damp. Steady 10k to shake off the football sleep hangover, until the next match anyway. Fresh morning full of dog walkers. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+166 - Cloudy, breeze, mild, damp. A Wilbur dog paced base (recovery) #run after a few hours sleep. Tough watch but nicked a goal and got the win though 5am is no time to get some sleep. Sort yer timezones out America & c'mon Scotland! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+165 - Cloudy, stiff breeze, mild, dry. Sprintervals with and against the wind & a steady #Parkrun. Watch glitch displaying pace as 0:00 during session. Resumed after I noticed with a manual stop/start. Pace recorded splits but missing metrics on charts. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+162 - Cloudy, breeze, mild, damp. Wilbur dog dawdle in the fresh air, noticing Summer beginning to bloom. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+161 - Broken cloud, breeze, mild, damp. A fresh morning #run along the byways after yesterday's rain. Struggling between wanting to keep pace up and the watch (HR) telling me to take it easy. Paid too much for the watch to ignore it but here we are. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+159 - Broken cloud, windy, mild, damp. Lane infinity and beyond! Feelgood track intervals. Ran with 'vibes' over the watch HR beeps today. Lost some pace in the last couple of months but not as bothered as I have been in the past. Just enjoying the day. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+156 - Cloudy, stiff breeze, mild, damp. A leisurely Wilbur dog trundle round the lanes on a breezy morning. He's getting more leisurely by the week. 6 freshly hatched cygnets on the pond today! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+155 - Cloudy, breeze, warm, damp. Off session that slowed through the intervals. Watch giving high HR alerts while my body felt ready to keep pace. Listened to the watch. ?Fatigue, heat, illness, hydration. Whatever the cause, I live to run another day. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+153 - Cloudy, calm, mild, damp. Short, steady, sweaty lap around local park circuit to keep things ticking over on a thundery morning. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+152 - Rain, breeze, mild, wet. Yesterday's run... A slow Wilbur dog recovery circuit in the rain. Nursing a hip flexor strain that's been getting steadily more tender. Hopefully it comes to nothing more. 177 miles for May and 824 miles in 2026 🥳 #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
More #running photos of the day in chronological order. Deer Abbey; founded in 1219 to replace an earlier 580AD Celtic monastery. Drinnie's Observatory; built 1845 by the Admiral laird to overlook his racecourse. A pair of retired 20th century Land rovers and a momentary yet timeless skyline.
Day 365+151 - Cloudy, breeze, mild, thundery. A fine wander around the area hoping for the downpour that arrived 10 minutes after I got home. Showers, but not enough to entertain my anticipation. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+150 - Broken cloud, calm, warm, dry. Missed #Parkrun picking the bairn up from a party in the early hours. A gentle Wilbur dog 10k turned more gentle 5k. He burst in the heat, even 10am with his old coat off so got a river stop for a drink and a dip. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
