Fake News

Got my toe checked yesterday — thought it was Morton’s neuroma, but it might be an inflamed ligament. Ibuprofen cream helped before my run, so hopefully I’m on the mend. #runsky #running

What a crazy wind this morning — it felt like I was running backwards at times. Still got it done though: 10.24 km at a 5:13/km pace, and still faster than my 30-day average. #runsky #running

Great run this morning, even with some nagging foot aches. Beautiful spring weather too, which made it even better. Covered 11.29 km at a 5:05/km pace — really happy to see the progress showing. #runsky #running

Yah how does that work ????

Rainy start, strong finish. 11.1 km this morning at 5:19/km — a touch slower than my 30-day average, but a great way to open the week. #running #runsky

Never forget…

Thanks @runningrosesruins.bsky.social beautiful day for a bit of a hike

A perfect spring Saturday for a hike. Sunshine, fresh air, and the best of South Lanarkshire right on the doorstep. Always worth appreciating what’s close to home. #runsky #running

Yah I know love how atmospheric it is

Pictures from this morning #runsky #running

Bit of a Wuthering Heights morning with heavy fog and low visibility, but still got 13.05 km done at 5:18/km. Finished the week on 46.1 km — 6 km over target.

Scotland’s on a rare dry streak, and I’m making the most of it.
Logged 13.17 km today at 5:17/km—solid and right on my normal pace. #running #runsky

We are rolling out the £2 bus fare cap across the Highlands and Islands, delivering real savings. Just two examples:

📍 Wick-Inverness, £31 down to £2.
📍 Elgin-Inverness, £15.60 ➡️ £2.

And we are protecting free bus travel for under-22s, over-60s and disabled people.

Can’t believe it’s hump day again. Time is sprinting. Dry, crisp morning though—ideal for running. Hit the same track as yesterday: 9.96 km at 5:13/km, a nice step up from yesterday.

Crisp, dry morning = perfect running weather. Knocked out 10 km at 5:22/km—foot’s a bit sore so not quite full gas, but happy to get it done. First run of the month! #running #runsky

Weekend wander at Carron Valley Reservoir — wild, vast, stunning. Hard to believe it’s just an hour from Hamilton.

Shout out to #glasgow

💯 agree

Last run of the week ✅ 11.37 km at 5:08/km. Managed to hit my weekly goal (49 km) and finish the month on 176.8 km. Proper spring vibes today—very happy about that. #running #runsky

Wet roads, steady legs. 11.22 km at 5:11/km (~58:09). Consistent pace lately, and the warmer air is starting to feel like spring. Hillier than usual today.

Happy Wednesday / happy hump day. 13.3 km at 5:05/km—turns out I can still move. No rain, but the air was pure cloud. Feeling really good about the progress. #running #runsky

Morning.

Back on the road today after a few days off—and it felt good. 13.12 km at 5:16/km in seriously humid air (big change from the last few weeks). #running #runsky

I stand with Ukraine.

#SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Today marks the 4th year of the war against Ukraine.

Across the country, communities have stepped up. In Fife, LINK Church created a warm, welcoming space where Ukrainians could gather, learn English, share meals, and begin to rebuild their lives.

This is the Scotland we believe in.

If it’s going to rain, I’m going to stretch. Mat deployed, hips persuaded, week ahead in sight. #running #runsky #yoga
