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.
Day 322 - Cloudy, breeze, cold, wet. A free paced run with Wilbur dog to keep it easy. No planned route so followed my nose for an hour. Blocked path with a fallen tree to clamber over.

Day 320 - Broken cloud, stiff breeze, cold, damp.
Half an hour short this morning in time to take the bairn to Aberdeen. Early morning gloom soon brightened as the chill wind turned head on. Back & bathed to head out.

Day 319 - Broken cloud, breeze, cool, damp.
A steady roam around Ellon split by a #Parkrun. Warm up was a bit stiff but picked the pace up just a little which felt fine. Slippy leaves as Autumn is being composted underfoot.

Day 318 - Showers, calm, cold, wet.
Chilly frosty showers in the sun made for a strange and numbing cold Wilbur dog trundle. Maybe time to dig the gloves out after the first freeze of the season.

Day 317 - Showers, wind, cold, wet.
Gentle Wilb dog run with a taste of weather to come. Chilly wind blew the rain that bit harder and colder. Winter is unpacking the bags in Scotland.

Day 316 - Drizzle, breeze, cool, wet.
Shorter and quicker than intended. Forgot to check my pace away daydreaming and felt some discomfort, especially uphill. Cut the run short by 40mins or so.

Wilbur run in the low and milky sun. Fine and fresh with a hint of bite in the air.

Day 314 - Broken cloud, breeze, mild, wet.
Out for a splash about with Wilbur dog. Continuing to ignore Garmin suggested runs while I 'rest' this injured hamstring (R) which is still a bit of a pain in the arse (5 weeks). Mushroom could be a Clouded Funnel.

Day 313 - Broken cloud, breeze, cool, damp.
A free paced run on a fine morning to get out early before taking the bairn to Aberdeen. Felt fine but still feeling the injury. Acknowledging those who lost their lives for us on Remembrance Sunday.

Day 312 - Misty, breeze, mild, wet.
A round about the back roads free paced Wilbur run. I missed parkrun after picking the bairn up from at late night party and a rough night's sleep. Wilbur faded over the last mile or 2.

It's a dog's life.
I caught mine daydreaming earlier today. Just couldn't figure out what was on this 'mature' poor sighted, half deaf Border Terrier's mind. Probably food, walk/runs and 'when will he finish stripping my coat'.

Day 311 - Misty, calm, mild, wet.
An easy paced clockwise skip around the 5k circuit with Wilbur dog. Yesterday's button Fly Agaric toadstool is a grown up.

An attempted base pace run with Wilbur dog who didn't fancy it.
Today's #fungi snaps...
Aniseed Funnel (Clitocybe odora)
False Chantelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca)
Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) with it's doors knocked off!

Took Wilbur dog on a 10k in 'Scotch mist' which we reappeared from. Annual celebrity burning of Guy Fawkes tonight and his failed gunpowder plot on the Houses of Parliament. 1605 was a long time ago. Time to try again?

Squelch through fallen wet leaves with Wilbur dog, slowing things down a bit more to recover. Forgot my phone so took a photo of 5 week post marathon toes that are repairing themselves. Sorry to the podophobists!

Day 305 - Broken cloud, calm, cool, wet.
A steady #Parkrun route B in place of intervals to keep up the hamstring rehab. Still nippy but only because I'm not taking it easy enough. At least #5kaday still on track with 178 miles in October and 1739 for the year 🥳

Day 304 - Broken cloud, windy, mild, wet.
Took Wilbur dog a different, slightly longer recivery route today which put a spring in his step. Must be a bit bored of the usual circuit and proves that he's got a bit more pace than he lets on. Horse Mushrooms 🍄‍🟫

Weary Wilbur dog waddle, bent stiff and sore after yesterday. About time that I allowed myself some extended recovery. Great idea but let's see how it goes.

Lovely day for a longer run around the countryside. No wind or rain was a welcome change. Reluctant to go long this morning but it's done.

Day 301 - Heavy rain, breeze, cool, Wet.
Resting my hamstring with a slow a Wilbur dog 'swim' around the neighbourhood at his pace instead of intervals. He sped up to try and catch up with a dog he dislikes for a quick bark and I'm running out of dry shoes!
