Decent weather, cool but dry, to reach 2000 miles. Seems a lot but it’s just a result of enjoying each and every run - & perhaps a touch of ADHD. My audiobooks have also been an incentive to get out the door. Rest tomorrow

Cold, rainy, waterproof gilet weather. Planning on a minimum of 6 miles but the going was easy and I pushed an extra few miles. Slow pace 🐌 in the blustery conditions but favoured by the Garmin gods with a productive run

Rest day yesterday, torrential rain and a lack of sleep. Energised and ready to go (almost) this morning. Perfect running weather, 6°, no wind and a touch of mist across the park. 🦊=1

Nice quiet Sunday morning, potential for rain so waterproof gilet packed. Ideal conditions, 10°C and gentle breeze so dressed not to overheat. 40 miles for the week but enjoying is more important - ‘smiles before miles’.

Weekend mornings are great for running, light traffic and few people about. A relaxed run, finishing my audiobook, and a run explore coming home. 3°C, starry sky, the moon & Jupiter and 🦊=1. Perfect 👍.

Rest day yesterday so was able to pick up the pace this morning. A lovely mild morning so went out with a running belt rather than a backpack. Added a few extra twists and turns to add variety to my route.

Dark, rainy and blustery. I rarely wear my waterproof jacket but it was needed initially. Slow going due to either the conditions, recovering from my cold or overtraining - at least I have a rest day tomorrow. 🦊=6

Out early this morning despite a touch of insomnia. Easy paced run listening to my audiobook. 9°C, starry sky with the moon and Jupiter showing -perfect! That’s 1000 miles in my Hoka Cliftons which I only bought in May!

Easy, slow run enjoying the Sunday morning solitude, dry conditions and my audiobook. 4°C and a gentle breeze but still shorts weather. Now for porridge with peanut butter and banana 😋.

I ran tired today after ~5h sleep. Perhaps a mistake but it was enjoyable & satisfying and I avoided the forecasted rain👍. I made up for it with a short post-run snooze. Run perhaps not advised but definitely not regretted.

‘Business as usual’ today after recovering from my cold. Slower, taking it easy, listening to my audiobook. A chilly morning, 1°C windchill, but shorts are still fine. Nice to start the day with a small sense of achievement

Back to running after my bout of man-flu so I eased back into it with a short 3:1 run/walk around the park. Dark, rainy and I enjoyed every minute. Great mind and body therapy 👍

V early run, taking a friend to the train station. Easy paced miles, I love the quiet of a weekend run.<100 miles until I reach my mileage target. I like the sense of achievement but it’s built on every run being enjoyable

Relaxed run to and along the Mersey embankment. 10°C but breezy and Jupiter seen in the clear sky. Great to get a run in before the rain arrives later this morning 👍.

Back to running after 2 rest days. Easy paced run around the park and Mersey embankment. Feeling good so did some hills and strides. V warm, might go for a short sleeved tomorrow. 2x🦊 this morning.

Fine run this morning after better sleep & listening to the conclusion of my audiobook. Added some sprints. Blessed by a Productive run by Garmin and 2 achievements by Strava. Great to start the week with a feel-good run.

Early run with just an occasional shower. Forgot to start my Garmin watch initially so it was really 9 miles - but who’s counting? Not fast but therapeutic ‘me time’ listening to my audiobook.

Persistent light rain & 5h sleep but the run was fab, went an extra mile & did hill sprints. Not unpleasant conditions & a waterproof gilet was all that was required. Entertained by my audiobook, 2 x🦊 & docking Belfast ferry

2°with some ice in puddles, gilet, gloves and shorts. Decent run despite <6h sleep, even did some hill sprints. Wicked double bill at the cinema tonight- chance for a decent snooze 🤞. Rest day tomorrow.

2°C and potential for sleet so it was the grippy Hoka Challengers this morning and a few laps of the park entertained by my audiobook. Sleet held off and my windproof gilet kept my core warm. 🦊=6 or 7.

2°C with the windchill but still ok when wearing a windproof gilet (& shorts). Thankfully no rain. Gorgeous sky with a waning crescent moon. A pleasant, relaxed run listening to my audiobook. Hoka Cliftons now at 900 miles

4°C and a starry sky, a lightweight windproof gilet needed. Planned a short-ish run but found running easy so added an extra mile and some hill sprints. Good fun. Monday miles are always very satisfying.
