Cloudy, breeze, mild, damp Struggled. Felt my Achilles burn from 2 mile in. Ran on my heels but my calf clenched up with a couple of miles to go. Kept turning over til the Finish. 3 weeks rest just not enough. Lots of experience points and I can't walk. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Sunny, calm, hot, dry. Wilbur dog run testing Achilles (R) to bear my weight after resting a strain I couldn't walk on. Dog is buckled in the heat and Achilles is tender. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Days 365+175, 176, 177 Late World Cup nights and bad habits caused a flat footed final consecutive run. Woke next morning with a burning Achilles I couldn't put weight on so needed time to recover. Happy with over 500 days and 3000 miles though 🍻 The end. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kad ay

Day 365+174 - Light rain, breeze, mild, damp. Had an existential wobble wondering why I feel driven to #run every day, then went for a run. Mentally very tough decision today after burning too much of both candle ends. I was #running like a square wheel along the road. #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+172 - Sunny, breeze, warm, damp. Started with the feel of wellies on my feet that eased over time. Just a couple of hours sleep last night. Morocco's early goal was a dagger! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+169 - Showers, breeze, mild, wet. Relaxed pace around the area with higher HR than expected. 10min walk to catch up with a seldom seen face. Enjoyed the #run, collecting surplus calories. Forgot the Bodyglide, fusing my arse cheeks together. Nae fine. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+166 - Cloudy, breeze, mild, damp. A Wilbur dog paced base (recovery) #run after a few hours sleep. Tough watch but nicked a goal and got the win though 5am is no time to get some sleep. Sort yer timezones out America & c'mon Scotland! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+165 - Cloudy, stiff breeze, mild, dry. Sprintervals with and against the wind & a steady #Parkrun. Watch glitch displaying pace as 0:00 during session. Resumed after I noticed with a manual stop/start. Pace recorded splits but missing metrics on charts. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+161 - Broken cloud, breeze, mild, damp. A fresh morning #run along the byways after yesterday's rain. Struggling between wanting to keep pace up and the watch (HR) telling me to take it easy. Paid too much for the watch to ignore it but here we are. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
Day 365+160 - Summer showers, breeze, mild, damp. A Wilbur dog base #run with the taste of petricor in the air kicked up by refreshing heavy showers. The dog is keen in spirit but left wanting in energy. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+159 - Broken cloud, windy, mild, damp. Lane infinity and beyond! Feelgood track intervals. Ran with 'vibes' over the watch HR beeps today. Lost some pace in the last couple of months but not as bothered as I have been in the past. Just enjoying the day. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
Day 365+158 - Sunny, breeze, warm, damp. A warm breezy humid Wilbur dog #run where he dragged his heels. Come to expect it so no big deal but a slow base run. Stiff hamstrings after yesterday that loosened off in the sun. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+155 - Cloudy, breeze, warm, damp. Off session that slowed through the intervals. Watch giving high HR alerts while my body felt ready to keep pace. Listened to the watch. ?Fatigue, heat, illness, hydration. Whatever the cause, I live to run another day. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+152 - Rain, breeze, mild, wet. Yesterday's run... A slow Wilbur dog recovery circuit in the rain. Nursing a hip flexor strain that's been getting steadily more tender. Hopefully it comes to nothing more. 177 miles for May and 824 miles in 2026 🥳 #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+151 - Cloudy, breeze, mild, thundery. A fine wander around the area hoping for the downpour that arrived 10 minutes after I got home. Showers, but not enough to entertain my anticipation. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+150 - Broken cloud, calm, warm, dry. Missed #Parkrun picking the bairn up from a party in the early hours. A gentle Wilbur dog 10k turned more gentle 5k. He burst in the heat, even 10am with his old coat off so got a river stop for a drink and a dip. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 29/05/2026
Day 365+149 - Sunny, stiff breeze, warm, dry. A warm and breezy morning #run on what feels like a hot one brewing. Took the route clockwise for a change and think I prefer getting the hills done in bigger chunks rather than lots of little inclines. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 28/05/2026
Day 365+148 - Broken cloud, windy, mild, dry. A less travelled route with stiff uphill headwind on a lovely day. Warm enough to finish with a soaked shirt. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+146 - Cloudy, breeze, warm, humid. Sprintaval session after a few days recovery from general fatigue. Took too the countryside as I didn't fancy running circles in this weather. Trying to go fast downhill is as difficult as uphill! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 25/05/2026
Day 365+145 - Broken cloud, breeze, warm, dry. Another hotdog Wilbur trot in the sun, as gentle as the breeze. A glorious day that smells like the perfume counter in a department store. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+144 - Cloudy, breeze, warm, damp. A Wilbur hot dog recovery dawdle in place of a planned long run after a week wrestling with fatigue. Muggy with the feel of a thunderstorm in the air. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 23/05/2026
Day 365+143 - Sun, breeze, warm, dry. Warm day, tired legs. Sadistic watch tells me I'm 'Strained' but suggested sprint intervals. Easy 5k before #Parkrun that I wanted to take easier but picked up to a more natural pace than planned without thinking. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
Day 365+142 - Cloudy, breeze, warm, damp. A most gentle attempt at a Wilbur dog base #run where he slowed throughout in the heat. Plenty of stops and his pace for the last mile. Half a hairy coat stripped! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Day 365+141 - Spitting, breeze, mild, damp. A gentle Wilbur dog shuffle around the regulation 5k route. Not quite rain falling in the background on an overcast morning. Hawthorn blossom beginning to burst through. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+140 - Broken cloud, breeze, mild, damp. Hottest #run of the year so far with gels and water belt. Made a conscious effort ease up and manage HR so a slow last few miles. Swarming with flies. Inhaled one and can still feel it at the back of my throat 🤮 #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day365+138 - Broken cloud, windy, cool, damp. Horrible. Felt drained a lap in to the interval and struggled to keep moving. My head was telling me to stop every step of the way. Busy weekend catching me up. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 500 🥳 - Showers, windy, cool, damp. One of the most gentle Wilbur dog trots to reflect on 500 consecutive days of #running at least #5kaday. More than anything else, Scotland's weather has presented the most interesting challenge and I've the photos to prove it 😅 #runsky #runningpunks

Day 365+133 - Broken cloud, stiff breeze, cool, dry. Not finding it easy bringing my HR down/slowing the pace. Usual 10k but the other direction felt like a completely different route with a cold wind that took me a while to warm up. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Day 365+132 - Showers, windy, cool, wet. A morning where my feet went faster than my discipline in new shoes. Struggled slowing to suggested HR zone. Wild garlic carried heavy on the wind. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
Day 365+131 - Drizzle, blustery, cool, wet. A tired recovery #run along the river while at the car doctors. 2 bridges joined together though 150 year apart. One built around 1790 next to another built around 1940. Both downstream from an 1860 railway viaduct. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+130 - Showers, stiff breeze, cool, damp. A suggested rest day long run to keep it edgy. I asked some Limousin cattle with calves why the Garden Tiger Moth caterpillar crossed the road but they just stared back with eyes which said "Why should we know?" #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+129 - Broken cloud, breeze, cool, damp. A chilly morning #run with an attempt at a quicker #Parkrun than usual. Timed at 22m51s. Not as fast as I think I am 😏 Chatting to a couple of familiar faces. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+128 - Cloudy, breeze, cool, dry. A Wilbur dog plod around my well worn 5k route. A slow day. 500 miles in the ASICS Nimbus and I'm pleased to relegate them to walking shoes. Heavy slippers by the end. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+127 - Broken cloud, breeze, cool, dry. A cool morning compared to others recently. A gentle spring around waiting for the car after teething problems with the 'new' ride. Nicknamed the 'Silver Slug'. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
