Puff, puff grin

Well I've had a bit of a slowdown on the comeback front with the ice aand snow getting too ridiculous even for the trail shoes. I have been getting out and doing some long walks though and managing a run once a week as weather allowed.

Ran for 30 minutes yesterday and managed 3.5k - not great but good enough for now. Last week was really great though as I decided it was time to tackle a proper hill. So I did 40 mins of a run that started with a long, very slight gradient then moved on to a proper hill that I managed to puff half the way up non stop. Was very pleased with myself. All progress!

I can't wait for the better weather so that I can properly commit to 3 runs a week again. Seems to be cheering up now though so I just need to give the old Mojo a talking to and crack on!!!

Happy running all.

PS photo of a ruined chapel I walked up to today. Stunning setting.

Sounds good to me and I love the photo, the sky looks promising but that water looks very cold. Well done on your hill running, I think your hills and my hills are in different leagues of the photo it's anything to go by 🤣

Beautiful scenery for your expeditions.. more time to enjoy the views at walking pace, but well done for managing a weekly run in spite of the icy weather.. 😊 x

Thanks. We've got to just try and keep things ticking over.

You are doing amazing on LeJoG though - I looked you up today and you are firing up that map grand style!

I am driven by fear of my knees giving up 😬

Well done Fionamags. Thankfully all our snow and ice has gone ( for now anyway). It really makes such a difference. I'm sure your mojo will notice . Beautiful photo 🤩

Thanks - it was a lovely walk today. I had a day off work so took the opportunity to do this when its quieter. All the scenic spots are hoaching at the weekends unfortunately.

Well done. Not a bad idea not to run in ice. I like the swans in your photo.

They were a bit too friendly for my liking at the side of the loch. Too many people feeding them, I think. But they can be quite nasty so although beautiful, I prefer them at a distance.
