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 332 - Cloudy, windy, cool, damp.
Trip around the block with Wilbur dog. The wind is plucking Autumn's lingering leaves and sending them on a last dance along the lanes.

Day 331 - Cloudy, breeze, mild, wet.
Laid back Wilbur dog run while recovering from injury. It's much more difficult trying to slow down.

Day 330 - Cloud, wind, cold, frost.
Free paced Wilbur dog wander trying to ease up a bit. He's got a spring in his step and I'm taking a break from longer runs while this hamstring 'rests'. Plenty of black ice this morning.

Day 329 - Sun, calm, cold, wet.
An unexpected pal along by my other half made for a much more gentle pace so Wilbur dog took the lead. Easy to take consistent running for granted sometimes. The rivers are in spate with lots of standing water to zigzag around.

Day 328 - Cloudy, breeze, cold, wet.
A gentle Wilbur dog trot. Still suffering from hamstring strain which needs healing. Time for a slow down.

Day 327 - Frosty showers, breezy, cold, wet.
A long Wilbur dog run cut short after a multi snooze wake up alarm. Brain freeze in icy rain that made the ice patches frictionless. Now to get the bairn in Aberdeen for her arty class.

Day326 - Sunny, breeze, cold, icy. A tired leg stretch with #Parkrun. Black ice and frozen slush made for a concentrated, disciplined pace. Not helped by overnight commentary of a sloppy #Ashes wicket collapse exposing stressed bowlers to hard hitting Ozzies.

Day 325 - Cloudy, calm, cold, icy.
A spiky Wilbur dog tip-toe on a treacherous layer of black ice and frozen slush. The varied conditions make at least #5kaday more than a running test. Had to look after the dog without his luxury of grip even though he walks on water.

Day 324 - Sleet, wind, cold, slush.
A trip Wilbur dog couldn't wait to get out for and instantly regretted. He prefers warm and dry over sleety icy pelters stotting of his waterlogged head these days. This helps him (and me) appreciate it all the more.

Day 323 - Thunderous hard show showers, windy, cold, slush.
An adventurous run in winter conditions. Thunder, driving ice and snow with sharp winds in sections and bright calm spots around the corner. Heavy going in sticky snow with trail runners on.

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 321 - Broken cloud, breeze, cold, wet.
Stiff skip through the muddy puddles with Wilbur dog. Fresh and very cool on Day 'countdown to Christmas'.

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.

Took too many photo stops this morning but liked these as well...

Day 310 - Cloudy, calm, cool, wet.
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!
