Morning. Went for a run where the rain all fell on me and the wind pushed me backwards,

Now it’s sunny 🤔

Sooo... marathon, half and 10km fetchathon in 2024? myvatnmarathon.com There are direct flights from Gatwick to Akureyri. For now, only scheduled to March but hopefully will continue - especially if the southwest keeps threatening to explode.


Myself, Mr Carp, Papa Whiskey, Aga and some non-fetchies are booking our flights and entering this week :) :) :)

I went for a run, apart from the mile 4 weeks ago, first one for 6 weeks. All was okay, no niggle - whoever knew that not running for 6 weeks would cure an injury?

Variable... it can be anything between 0 and 12C, blowing a gale or completely still. Completely still is the worst because then you get inundated with flies.

A windy walk, 2 windy runs & a windy ride. Can’t say I really enjoyed any of them - enjoyed 2 hours of Netflix in between !

There is only one year we had to run with mozzie nets because of the flies (2014 I think). Usually there is enough of a breeze to keep them at bay.

I can make no promises for the nearby volcanoes though. It all adds to the excitement.
