About Me
13th Oct 2019 a fall ended my 1st streak, 10 years, 5 months and 4 days (10th May 2009)... a number of new attempts since have left me deflated. 17th February 2024 made a pact to start again, build the habit, no pressure. 2025 I have a small base, I have gig rowing and I have cold water 5th winter. 2025 is a year to build. Improve. Focus Show More...

Cheeky Monday off so a pre breakfast saver is the order of the day Add a comment	1mi, Run - General Not quite right Saver Add a comment	1.1mi, Run - General Saver. Bloody bug sneaking up again Add a comment	1mi, Run - General Sucks being on the bench. Big time Add a comment	1.3mi, Run - General Late break for a daylight rest day plod. Grey day but the light makes it all better Add a comment	7.3mi, Run - General Ran a continuous 3.25 to the reserve. Can of pop and a match to Greedon Hyde to take in some birdies. Very bleak today but shell duck. Curley. Redshank and cormerants and shell duck in flight with a few oyster catchers. Then added another 2.25 miles before giving myself the ok to finish with brisk walking. Feeling sensitive about running however back of pack means need to accept back of pack and just keep focusing on time on feet. 7 is positive. Just keep working. I’m never going to be everyone else. So accept what I CAN do. First snowdrops also seen today. New beginnings Add a comment	-
