Day 365+97 - Sunny, stiff breeze, cool, damp.
A refreshing #run with Wilbur dog to keep it gentle. Still feeling the strain of Sunday with heavy legs. Not complaints though, especially on a beautiful morning. 500 miles on the 2nd Novablast 5's.

Day 365+95 - Storm 'Dave'. Powerful wind, cold, wet.
Brutal! Ever strengthening headwind with each turn further west, whipped by swirling sand. Difficult last miles with wind, sodden feet heavy with trapped sand. Only 7 made the start line. Quite the challenge.

#5KADay 632+ #running ~12k yesterday with peak humidity & strong winds after 4.7k deep. The plan was to dig deep into a 2hr run but storm forecast changed from 1pm to 11a.m. Conditions meant losing target pace for 12k, 77min run, 6’23” avg pace #Runchat #Runsky #Runningpunks
Day 365+92 - Light rain, breeze, cold, damp.
Another day, another dune. More sand with different shoes and Wilbur dog. Low tide and less cushion are best for a more compact surface with less camber. 174 miles for March, 480 for the year... so far 🎉

#5KADay 631+ #running count got way off somehow since my daily count is 5Ks + 10ks + half marathon. Will eventually do a reconciliation. Closed March ~183kms, sore ankles/calves running in older shoes yesterday for ☔️ but hubby was wrong. Today for April 1 should be a longer/slower 🏃♀️ #Runsky #Runchat
Day 365+91 - Cloudy, windy, cool, damp.
A #run for the soul with Wilbur dog. Alone with the sounds of the shore under a peaceful open sky. Idyllic. Learning more about beach running; firm shoes, camber and not outruning sneaky surf close to the waterline.
#running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day365+90 - Broken cloud, stiff breeze, cool, damp.
A sandy beach experiment. Oh ma heed! Constantly searching for a firmer surface while sinking on landing and push off makes for slow going. Nearly tripped over a grey seal pup who did not want to be friends!

#5KADay 556 #running a simple 5km Sunday doing more speed work. Too 🥵 yesterday for the track so a 6’10” pace is excellent on the trail with all the crossings, broken pavement & doubling back. Tired today. Tight L🦶, tight calves today #Runchat #Runsky
Day 365+89 - Broken cloud, stiff breeze, cold, damp.
Sacked off a suggested threshold #run for a fresh, sluggish plod in the sun with Wilbur dog, who was a bit of a drag today. Feeling frazzled.

#5KADay 545 to 555 #running between 5.14 to 7.1 km/day. 47th bday this month 🎂. Fastest pace avg 6’13” rebuilding leg strength and breaking in new👟. It’s been hot and hard. Also added some arm/abs work back in. It’s been rough in the states. Over 💯 mi monthly distance goal. So I run #Runchat #Runsky
Day 365+88 - Sunny, windy, cool, damp.A lumbering Wilbur dog #run made an artificial hour later to head in to British Summer Time... whatever time is anyway. Heavy legs.

Sprint intervals which I could have probably given a little more but couldn't convince myself to push harder followed by a planned recovery #Parkrun 'chaser' turned tempo pacing a pal. Farewell discipline!

A steady #run with a few stop for laces and photos that helped Wilbur dog up his pace a little.

Day 365+84 - All the weather, stiff wind, cold, wet.
A steady base #run made hellish by driving headlong hail storms. Near impossible to face at times. Mixed with sunshine, rain, sleet and snow, stiff wind was the only constant.

Day 365+83 - Sunny, stiff wind, cool, damp.
A lumpy #run with Wilbur dog trying to maintain a steady pace. Dog, hills and headwind made it uneven. Chilly wind on a bright day.

Day 365+82 - Cloudy, stiff breeze, cool dry.
A sensible session, keeping close eye to control my heart rate which spiked mid run. Slowed for 30 seconds to get it back under control. Enjoyed being back on the track with a few 'Strides' to finish off.

Day 365+80 - Broken cloud, calm, cool, damp.
A lovely run in the morning sun before viewing a car with the bairn (which he bought). Thought I'd smashed my #Parkrun PB only to find that I want even close. Faded up the hill at the end. Timed at 22m33s.
#running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
Day 365+79 - Sunny, breeze, chill, damp. A gorgeous Spring morning bounce about with Wilbur dog at the edge of his pace. He's all about recovery speed more recently. Wild cherry beginning to blossom.

A lovely morning recovery trail about with Wilbur dog. Heavy legs over the hills that felt harder work going slow.

Day 365+77 - Broken cloud, breeze, cool, damp.
A fine fresh Scottish Spring morning #run, leaving the dog at home to go a bit further and faster. Struggling to curb my enthusiasm and keep the HR lower.

#5KADay 537-544 gimping along #running with too tight muscle(s) in my left leg that seems to be resolving, prob from 👟. So pleased with Monday’s 8.33 km 🏃♀️ While running less overall, I started abs/arms workouts in late day to fight the winter stress snack attacks I was trapped in.#Runchat #Runsky

A jaunty Sunday #run with Wilbur dog before sticking my head down the toilet and fixing the family throne. Joy unbound.

A steady #Parkrun sandwich with my bairn. Felt stiff and sluggish by the end after a bit of a crap week. A welcome cuppa and bacon roll was a fine way to round it off though.
