At least you can strip off layers. Better than a warm sing layer top. I wear gloves/cycling fingerless gloves all year round as fall protection.

Starry skies for an early run. A bit of exploration this morning, connecting up more of the greenway paths. Trail running in new areas, even urban trails, really enhances any holiday. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

When they talk about reducing red tape, remember this image.

This is the meme I send to new members of the FB running group I belong to. Running, enjoying, posting and encouraging others is really important for the community. You’re doing that here. So well done and happy running 👏👏👏

An early start. Head torch run and 17°. Faster pace after a w/e off and blessed by the Garmin gods with a ‘maintaining’. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

I add a spoon of peanut butter into my bowl of porridge, plus some fruit on top, which helps give me a protein boost.

Early run in Charlotte, wonderful clear skies with Jupiter & the moon visible. Warm out, and a hilly route, made me a sweaty blob at the end. Knee still not perfect, likes the uphills not downhills. Good fun #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

It’s a barbaric form of punishment and more so that Christa Pike has been on death row for 30 years. Where’s the humanity? The punishment also assumes there is never a miscarriage of justice. This week new DNA has resulted in a man being released after 41yrs on death row.

There is something deeply wrong with trying to kill a person twice, then sending her to a hospital for life saving measures so that they can try to kill her again.

Slight tweak to my route in Charlotte to link up two greenways, hence the slightly longer run. Taking it easy with Podrunner at 182bpm. Enjoying the city lights and starlit skies . #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Easy paced, early run in Charlotte. Greenway then downtown. Lots of stops a busy crossings, pedestrians not a priority here. Loving the warm mornings. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Multifocal contacts for me. They’ve improved so much in recent years. Couldn’t properly see my watch/phone without them.

Absolutely agree about the benefits, but the mental health benefits of my treadmill runs over the past few days aren’t as great as being outside. It was nice to hit the trails again this morning.

Early headtorch along the greenway to uptown Charlotte - much better than the treadmill 👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

I must say I’m very disappointed in the police over their dealing with the RAF Fairford incident. By announcing that the suspects are British nationals, they have completely undermined the stream of made up bollocks from myself and every other right wing gobshite on Twitter.

Did you know that a Farage Reform govt intends to scrap the NHS? The private health care system he wants to introduce would cost you £10,000s, like the US, where getting ill can bankrupt you. #ReformUK #Labour #GreenParty #Newcastle #SAFC� #NUFC

Early miles on the treadmill before I helped daughter & grandchildren off to school . The treadmill surely can’t be calibrated, so much effort for so little pace! Podrunner at 181 bpm helped push me along. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

On holiday in Charlotte nc and having to fit in an early run before grandchildren go to school. So getting up v early

Yay, a morning run in daylight. 7 miles along a Charlotte greenway to downtown. It’s so much easier, physically & mentally, than a run on a treadmill. Long waits at crossings though 🥱. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

The new Coros Pace 4 Pro looks very good - all key running metrics and maps too. Only thing missing, for me (actually my wife ), is incident detection.

Me too, always distracted when I’m running along a shoreline. Not only is it the geology of the rock record that’s interesting but also the geological processes of erosion and deposition in action today - uniformitarianism.

Family stuff (grandchildren ) requires my presence in the morning, so I run really early, but hopefully I might get a Saturday run to downtown Charlotte.

I find A) the weather forecast predicts heavier rain than actually occurs B) the rain always sounds worse from inside the house C) pedestrians and motorists seem to think you’re mad or sad for running in the rain when in reality it can be quite therapeutic

Slightly faster treadmill run this morning. Fast & boring better than slow & boring. Podrunner at 181bpm to help me push the pace. That’s me at 3/4 of my mileage target, so a tad ahead of plan. Trail at w/e. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Enjoy 👍. One of the joys of trail running, for me, is the ability to stop, take in the views, take some photos, and not feel I have to run continuously. The same distance is covered nevertheless.

A music playlist for the treadmill this morning. A slower bpm than my Podrunner playlist, hence the slower cadence, but I increased the pace for Chandelier by Sia. Treadmills are more of a mental struggle 😠 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Is it the ADHD, the Run1000miles challenge with my FB friends or just a touch of obsession? I think a bit of each 😬.
