Out in #Poland, outdoors with #hiking, #biking and #running. Watcher of #nufc and point and shooter of photos.
Fun facts:

Learning to play the accordion 🪗 is chuffing tricky.

Especially for a non musical person.

It's also quite a workout!

An #NUFC thought.

We briefly played a 442 diamond away at Everton when Jones joined Bruce.

Wider forwards, Miggy in the hole.
Then it disappeared.

With Big Nick/our wingers, is that shape actually more viable than it was?

Or am I romanticising a one-off that was actually rubbish?

Progress does not always look impressive.

A first short walk in a while.
Snowy.
Slippy.
Heels still uncomfortable.

But I showed up anyway.
That counts.

Krok po kroku.

It's Monday morning, so here's a look back at week 27 of the Walk-Hike-Ruck plan and it's not good, BUT a corner has been turned:

0/7 walks
4 Mobility/Strength
Football 1
KCal: 802

3h05m of total training for the week.

The morning after my first Wisła Solec pre-sprimg-season training.

Things aren't too bad.

The usual 'start up' aches and pains. Plus the additional pains from running on a wooden floor.

The big negative was getting blisters on my chill blains.

That's not the best.

First football training after the winter break this evening and I don't think my silly heels will let me go.

But I want to get in right at the start of pre-mid-season.

Decisions, decisions.

Week 26. Six months in.

1/7 walks. Chilblains so bad I can't wear shoes. -16C in Eastern Poland.

And the worst part isn't the pain.

It's having no one to ask: "Should I push through? Back off? Am I being smart or just giving up?"

Being self-coached sucks.

If Lublin is 6th place in the world there can't be any traffic anywhere else.

Yeah, at rush hour it's not great, like all big towns and cities, but the vast majority of the time it's absolutely fine.

Northampton was way worse. Warsaw is worse.

(From my experience)
Łódź in Poland is the world's fourth most congested city, according to the 2025 Traffic Index compiled by TomTom.

Another Polish city, Lublin, is in sixth place.
Polish cities ranked as world's 4th and 6th most congested in 2025 traffic index

Haven't quite come down from the #nufc performance last night.

It was brilliant watching us play aggressive football again. High turnovers are still our most creative 'player' as a squad a d to be able to use it. Brilliant.

It's Monday morning, so here's a look back at week 26 (6 months!) of the Iñaki de la Parra Walk-Hike-Ruck plan and I'm in a real pit of despair at the moment:

1/7 walks
2 bike
6 Mobility/Strength
KCal: 1004 (down 300)

4h35m of total training for the week.

Brutal.

Crikey this is some seriously rough watching again by #nufc

Can see this ending with a late goal from Wolves and we deserve nowt else.

Delivery has been terrible. Creativity zero.

I didn't expect anything different. It's been the same for what feels like an eternity.

Slowly (not just describing my paces which makes old ladies look quick) getting back into swimming.

I've been on 50's the last couple of times and decided to move up to 100s today.

Of course on the last length of my first my foot completely cramped up and was still hurting now 3 hours later.

Yes, standing on a vibration plate will definitely help your cardiovascular system instead of exercise...

Or, am I wrong?

It's match day maggies!

I've seen loads of people talking about 'getting the goal difference up'.

We know what that means...

Goooood morning Bluesky!

Sometimes when your walking a long a Cornish sea wall you see something that catches your eye. Like this gull.

So I took a #photo

And now I share it with you

I saw a sign. I thought about taking a photo of said sign in a way that showed how weird it seemed on a very old sea wall.

There's something about the colours of mountain sides (that aren't rocky) that I love. Especially on those moody, cloudy days.

Walls are walls, right? They're just there. But, not all walls are made equal. This one, again in Lublin at the Centrum Spotkania Kultur was is one of them.

It's match day my fellow maggies.

And it's not just any match day, is it?

It's one where I feel for those who have an optimism bias, because for them, it's going to hurt all the more when we lose.

Personally I'd be happy if we showed up and put in a cup final performance at last.
