Day 365+143 - Sun, breeze, warm, dry. Warm day, tired legs. Sadistic watch tells me I'm 'Strained' but suggested sprint intervals. Easy 5k before #Parkrun that I wanted to take easier but picked up to a more natural pace than planned without thinking. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+142 - Cloudy, breeze, warm, damp. A most gentle attempt at a Wilbur dog base #run where he slowed throughout in the heat. Plenty of stops and his pace for the last mile. Half a hairy coat stripped! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+141 - Spitting, breeze, mild, damp. A gentle Wilbur dog shuffle around the regulation 5k route. Not quite rain falling in the background on an overcast morning. Hawthorn blossom beginning to burst through. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+140 - Broken cloud, breeze, mild, damp. Hottest #run of the year so far with gels and water belt. Made a conscious effort ease up and manage HR so a slow last few miles. Swarming with flies. Inhaled one and can still feel it at the back of my throat 🤮 #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+139 - Drizzle, stiff wind, cool, wet A brighter #run after yesterday that finished in a better feeling than it started. Waited a couple of hours for the worst of the rain to pass. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day365+138 - Broken cloud, windy, cool, damp. Horrible. Felt drained a lap in to the interval and struggled to keep moving. My head was telling me to stop every step of the way. Busy weekend catching me up. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+137 - Cloudy, breeze, cool, wet. A lumbering plod that Wilbur dog set the pace. Stiff legs after yesterday followed by #Eurovision Bangaranga excess. 🍻🫠🍰 #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+136 - Broken cloud, stiff breeze, cool, wet. A sprinterval session before barcode scanning at #Parkrun. Not the greatest after a night under the stars but up and done. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 500 🥳 - Showers, windy, cool, damp. One of the most gentle Wilbur dog trots to reflect on 500 consecutive days of #running at least #5kaday. More than anything else, Scotland's weather has presented the most interesting challenge and I've the photos to prove it 😅 #runsky #runningpunks

Day 365+134 - Heavy showers, blustery, cool, wet. Comfortable #run in the rain with a more even HR except for attacking the big hill home. 499 consecutive runs of at least #5kaday. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Day 365+133 - Broken cloud, stiff breeze, cool, dry. Not finding it easy bringing my HR down/slowing the pace. Usual 10k but the other direction felt like a completely different route with a cold wind that took me a while to warm up. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+132 - Showers, windy, cool, wet. A morning where my feet went faster than my discipline in new shoes. Struggled slowing to suggested HR zone. Wild garlic carried heavy on the wind. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+131 - Drizzle, blustery, cool, wet. A tired recovery #run along the river while at the car doctors. 2 bridges joined together though 150 year apart. One built around 1790 next to another built around 1940. Both downstream from an 1860 railway viaduct. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+130 - Showers, stiff breeze, cool, damp. A suggested rest day long run to keep it edgy. I asked some Limousin cattle with calves why the Garden Tiger Moth caterpillar crossed the road but they just stared back with eyes which said "Why should we know?" #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+129 - Broken cloud, breeze, cool, damp. A chilly morning #run with an attempt at a quicker #Parkrun than usual. Timed at 22m51s. Not as fast as I think I am 😏 Chatting to a couple of familiar faces. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+128 - Cloudy, breeze, cool, dry. A Wilbur dog plod around my well worn 5k route. A slow day. 500 miles in the ASICS Nimbus and I'm pleased to relegate them to walking shoes. Heavy slippers by the end. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+127 - Broken cloud, breeze, cool, dry. A cool morning compared to others recently. A gentle spring around waiting for the car after teething problems with the 'new' ride. Nicknamed the 'Silver Slug'. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+126 - Sunny, breeze, cool, dry. A relaxed Wilbur dog wander in place of a scheduled long #run as my get up and go got up and went without me. Beautiful day. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+125 - Showers, stiff breeze, cool, damp. #Run around waiting for the car to be serviced. Chilly rain & wind. Uncomfortable running on the edge of an unfamiliar, busy road and knackered my thumb clambering up a bank looking for a route that didn't exist. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+124 - Sunny, windy, mild, dry. Steady track threshold #run session. Bit slower than usual, feeling heavy and tired. Still, glad to be up and about in the sunshine. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+123 - Overcast, breeze, cool, dry. A slowing Wilbur dog #run. He started chirpy enough by slowed to a crawl by the last mile. Not sure what to make of it and don't want to admit that he's getting on in years. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+122- Broken cloud, breeze, mild, dry. A #parkrun sandwich; volunteer 25min pacer. Timed at 24m53s so not too bad a job. Another bright and warming day. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+121 - Sunny, breeze, warm, dry. A free paced Wilbur dog wander around and about on the warmest day off the year so far. Taps aff! Wilbur feeling it, refusing to take his winter coat off. Another #5kaday with 166 miles for April; 647 miles this year. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Day 365+120 - Sunny, breeze, cool, dry. Easy paced recovery #run with Wilbur dog. Stiff, tired and creaking but the sun cheers the day up. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+119 - Sunny, stiff breeze, cool, dry A glorious morning listening to the birds sing at the top of their lungs. A constant fight between my natural pace and keeping to a lower HR. Didn't do a great job slowing it down in the sunshine. Lovely #run though. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+118 - Overcast, breeze, cool, damp. A Wilbur dog drag. He's feeling even slower than me just now. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+117 - Rain, stiff breeze, cool, damp. A tale of 2 elevations. The first threshold was comfortable zoned controlled downhill whilst the 2nd was an over zone burst uphill slog that ran out of gas. Very tough going but did hit my fastest mile PB (6m40s) 🎉 #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+116 - Cloudy, stiff breeze, cool, dry. A dim and blustery Wilbur dog #run to get out and shake a Sunday morning leg. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+115 - Sunny, breeze, cool, dry. A beautiful morning for a #Parkrun sandwich. Starting to feel the sun warm up the day. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+114 - Broken cloud, breeze, cool, dry. A lumbering #run with Wilbur dog who feels as leaden as I have this week. Not a problem the new lambs are having and no complaints while the weather's fine. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+113 - Sunny, breeze, cool, damp. The most gentle plod around with Wilbur dog. Out in the sunshine glinting off the fresh dew is a great tonic for the day ahead. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+112 - Sunny, breeze, mild, wet. Imagined a cozy dog trot along low tide in the breeze. Realised an unexpected trail slog akin to the end of a marathon. Didn't expect that battle at all, even with photo stops. Don't know why it happened; glad it's over. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+111 - Cloudy, breeze, cool, damp. A Wilbur dog #run after being messed around by the garage in Aberdeen over 2 days. Much easier getting it out the way earlier than later. Nesting time for the swans. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+110 - Rain, breeze, cold, wet. An early splash about with Wilbur dog before heading to town to sort the car, visit the dentist and eat everything! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+109 - Cloudy, blustery, cool, dry. A catch up #run with one of my bairns while Wilbur dog had a trot along. Fine conversation pace as the wind whipped all ways. Dog violets in bloom and bears in the woods. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+108 - Showers, breeze, cool, damp. A progressive test #run on my knee after finding no more pain which held up no bother. Fine morning with a fresh shower to keep things cool. 50th #Parkrun 🥳 #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+107 - Broken cloud, breeze, cool, damp. A gentle 5k #run with Wilbur dog on a bright spring morning. Hesitant putting any load on my knee. Not confident as it's a bit tender but held up OK. The horses are taking it even easier. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+106 - Sunny, stiff breeze, cool, damp. Aborted track threshold session with left knee instability and discomfort during 2nd set. Tried another 200m after onset but got worse. Limply 600m walk to loosen it off but still there. See what like tomorrow. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+105 - Rain, breeze, cold, wet. A short soggy Wilbur recovery #run in place of today's long run as I've work to do. The smell of wild garlic is in the air. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+104 - Sunny, breeze, cool, damp. Beautiful morning but a struggle getting Wilbur dog up to speed. The sun's warming him up but the grumpy old sod won't let me take his coat off! New shoes! 4th Novablast 5's in a year; 500 miles each on the last 3. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 375+103 - Sunny, stiff breeze, cool, damp. Not so much a sprint session as a 'quick as you can' lumber. Not so nippy these days but a gorgeous morning for #running around in circles. A 'fine day' as at least 3 folk commented on the way to the track and back. #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+102 - Broken cloud, stiff breeze, cool, damp.A comfortably loose Wilbur dog recovery shuffle. Spring in bloom with primrose and red dead nettle. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+101 - Heavy rain, stiff breeze, cold, wet. Drookit day with a splash about. Late for #Parkrun and felt the need to pick the pace up to catch up and claw back some imaginary time. Base run turned threshold. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+100 - Sunny, stiff breeze, cold, damp. Stop start Wilbur dog #run in the sun while he regulates my pace. Still chilly in Spring which makes for fine running temperatures. Met a triceratops the morning after the night before. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+99 - Rain, breeze, cold, wet. A refreshing #run in the rain with Wilbur dog, who kept the pace relaxed. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+98 - Broken cloud, breeze, cool, damp. Looked forward to a fine steady base run but effort caught up with me today and felt like I was in wellies. Laboured with high HR that didn't want to come down. Still fine to be out on a sun shiny day. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

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. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+96 - Sunny, breeze, cool, damp. A gentle Wilbur dog #run on a bright and fresh Spring morning to shake the legs after yesterday's effort. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

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. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+94 - Sunny, breeze, cold, damp. A relaxed shuffle along the river on a fine morning. Added a quote from the local #Parkrun school and a couple of photos from last night. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
