Slow one after work, but at least I got out. Not as cold as I thought it was going to be. Needed a little slow down & walking break a couple for miles in. Lapping everyone on the couch as they say. #runner #running #rundorset #lonelygoatrunningclub #run #rebel #strava #garmin #workoutsnap #myoddballs #adidasboost #ukrunchat #instarun #runstagram #runhappy #lonelygoatrc #poole #holesbay #beardedrunner #lonelygoatrunners #runningcommunity #itsokaynottobeokay #weightlossjourney (at Holes Bay Nature Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co73_6QLBjF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Second week running I’ve got out for a Tuesday post work run. Different route from last week & I did think the last time I did it, it was 5km. However it came in under three miles! But at least I was out doing something. I got on the big scales at work & while happy two figures rather than three, not happy about it. I have over indulged this month. I only been able to drink the last couple of weeks, I think I’ve over compensated with puddings, specially over Xmas & new year! I will have to cut back again. It’s been a bare minute since injury now & I think one of the reasons I’m not able to improve my pace is not getting back to pre injury weight. The meds I’m on don’t help or course! I have enough going on, so shouldn’t worry about it too much, but sometimes it can’t be helped. Tonight’s run has pushed the monthly total up to the most miles ran in a month since last July! A big part of that of course was the quarter marathon New Year’s Day. Really does feel a long time ago now! #runner #running #rundorset #poole #lonelygoatrunners #strava #garmin #### (at Poole, Dorset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoF0rp6L4Uf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After yesterday’s procrastination & playlist building. I got up & out this morning for a mid-week run. The only reason to get up was to run, today is the last day of my long weekend & back to work tomorrow. Just the kids & me as wife at work. Looks like an other great day weather wise so the planned tidy up of the garden might not happen! Might go to the beach or cinema instead! Might just watch marvel movies all day! #runner #running #run #poole #rundorset #strava #garmin #workoutsnap #rebel #instarunning #runstagram #instrunner #lonelygoatrunningclub #myoddballs #wearedefiant #lonelygoatrunners #ukrunchat #runhappy #beardedrunner #runnersofinstagram #fastedrun #runningcommunity #midweekrun #longweekend #weightlossjourney #lonelygoatrc #fitoverforty (at Sea-View Viewpoint) https://www.instagram.com/p/CggcZfaofQN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Best thing about his mornings run was that I actually got out. Very nearly didn’t & was too close to seven, by the time I did, meaning everything once back was a rush to get littlest to school on time. But I did it. Can tell I wasn’t planning anything as ran to whitecliffe which really is a bit to far for a morning run until my pace is back to where it used to be. However another 45 mins on my feet (only really have time for 30!). Ankle & both calf’s tight & sore to begin with, but loosened off after a couple of miles. They feel fine now; so nothing serious, just need a decent warm up! #runner #running #run #poole #rundorset #lonelygoatrunningclub #runnersofinstagram #runhappy #garmin #strava #myoddballs #runstats #runfasted #prebreakfast #injuryrecovery #lonelygoatrc #whitecliffe #parkstone #instarun #runstagram #newbalance #weightlossjourney #disaplinenotmotivation #tuesdaymorningrunclub #dorsetquayperformance #fitover40 #plodding (at Poole, Dorset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CefxL7Ht8vA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Enjoyable & painful, difficult but worth it. Took the short trip out to swanage & @durlstoncountrypark this morning for one of the most difficult parkruns in the uk. I survived, that was all I was hoping for. I had heard it was ridiculous & it is. However I enjoyed time with friends & a pastry afterwards. (Hot chocolate wasn’t great) #garmin being down isn’t great. However first world problems, #strava picking up the data so all good. Great to see @all_things_run.derful (and Nath) @aletakilgore & @davidrutt1980 with family (happy birthday Sarah), plus @rosie_the_staffy19 who enjoyed a post run lick of my fingers & shin! Long weekend as Monday off, out tonight for continuation of wedding anniversary celebrations. #parkrun #durlstoncountrypark #rundorset #runhappy #workoutsnap #lonelygoatrc #runningcommunity #instarun #runstagram #parkrunsaturday #lonelygoatrunningclub #weightlossjourney #injurycomback #injuryrecovery #beardedrunner #runstats #instarunners #rebel #myoddballs #runner #run #newbalance #mountiangoat (at Durlston Country Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeGgtEPN3FH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Got out earlier today, still warm but better than yesterday. Really felt hard work, however to think I’ve managed to run three days in a row! That was a distance dream a couple of months ago. Not felt ready for this but survived. The plan as a bike ride today, that will be tomorrow now. Ankles not ideal and calf’s a little tight still. I’m sure it will get better with time, starting to get close to feeling like a runner again, & not refined as injured. #runner #running #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #lonelygoatrunningclub #runhappy #rundorset #poole #instarun #instarunner #instarunning #runstagram #adidasboost #runearly #heatwave (at Poole, Dorset)

A little late but thanks to all who joined us at the Lulworth 10k a few weekends ago. Great (hot) weather, a beautiful course and a great low key vibe to the whole thing. Can't wait to go back next year.

100k, 50k or 25k : 27/28 August 2016. This new Challenge takes on some of England's finest scenery. Eastbourne start, up the infamous Beachy Head, over chalk cliffs through the Seven Sisters Country Park and along the South Downs Way. A Brighton midpoint, Devils Dyke, amazing views, sunset & sunrise all lie ahead before the Cathedral spire of historic Arundel comes into view and a welcome finish line after an amazing 100km. Most of the 2,000 challengers will be walking at their own pace, some will jog, and quite a few will be run it as an Ultramarathon. However you take it on you'll be fully supported through day & night and rewarded with an overwhelming sense of achievement. Push yourself in 2016, get in shape - join us for a real challenge!
