I mostly think about this one...
"It's unpleasantly like being drunk".
"What's so unpleasant about being drunk"?
"Ask a glass of water".

Inside is for furniture. You're a viking. You can run outside in any conditions, always!

Day 365+70 - Cloudy, windy, cool, damp.
A real Town & Country #run between the flat city streets and rugged coastal trail. Turned out to be a bit more effort than expected along the coast but a fine distraction on new routes.

High protein snacks Small bites packed with protein to help you stay satisfied throughout the day. Everything from yoghurt bark to egg muffins.

Saw this just now and thought of you...

I empty a tin of tuna in brine with a dash of mayonnaise in bread to supplement my protein intake. I mention it because I have the same issue. I'm awesome at eating fat though!

Wilbur dog recovery #run as the dafs begin to open in this neck of the woods at last. Heavy footed at the dog's pace. Over ยฃ100 at the vets yesterday for repeat prescription ear drops (ยฃ20 worth). Daylight robbery.

Too much going on to take the dog and he's not the greatest traveler in a car. It did get cold with the bits sticking out the sleeping bag. Woke up with my hat on and still manage to get the 2 best Garmin sleep scores of the year ๐Ÿ˜‚

A relaxed #run in familiar surroundings after a week away. Lovely fresh morning with a hint of last night's ice. Stopped a few times to let cars past with Wilbur dog off the lead.

Sleet showers, breeze, cold, wet.
A chilly early morning #run after a night in the Getaway Car. Along the track of the some of the world's first railway line invented and built to transport coal from local mines to waiting ships on the coast. Saw a barn owl.

A #run to clear my sleep deprived hangover after a emotionally charged family funeral yesterday. Grief, alcohol and long memories dissolving in a T. S. Lowry seascape.

In Scottish slang "honkin'" (or honking) means something terrible, dirty or absolutely disgusting. It is synonymous with words like mingin' or boggin'; used to describe unpleasant scents, rotten food, or poor quality.

Here's to all the honkin' runs that have got you here. Go on yersel' ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‘Œ

February #running roundup I forgot to include in today's run with 146 miles, making 307 for the year so far ๐ŸŽ‰ Ironically, life feels more relaxed with a bit of extra effort each day. Although I post here as a personal diary, connecting with like minded souls makes it so much more.
Cheers ๐Ÿป #5kaday

Good stuff. I've a mate who raves about Hoka shoes. Have you tried your Megablasts yet? I've found mine egging me on to speed up. They don't seem to like an easy pace so either need tamed or saved for faster pace runs. It's probably going to be the latter but they're fun to run in.

Any news on the new shoes?
