Another frosty morning, 4°C under a clear sky, with sunshine on the way. Gloves on and out the door for 11.70km at 5:22/km. There's something special about crisp air and quiet roads to start the day. 🌅 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Dark, brisk morning, but so worth getting out. The loch must have been a touch warmer than the air, as mist drifted across the water and gave everything a moody, quiet feel. 13.52km at 5:23/km. #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Encore! 🎨 Spotted this cracking piece of street art on my way back to the car park. Wasn't expecting a second dose of culture after Six, but sometimes the best finds are the unplanned ones. #StreetArt #Photography #Art

After a weekend of culture, I started the week the way I like to: out on the road. 11.60km at 5:25/km. It was super humid and I kept expecting the heavens to open, but it stayed dry. A good, steady start to Monday. 🏃 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Saw Six this weekend and what a wicked ride! A brilliant way to soak up Tudor history, and I love how it shifts the focus to the wives' stories. Left the theatre with the songs in my head and the beats still ringing through my body. 👑 #SIXTheMusical #Theatre #MusicalTheatre

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The sun finally came out this morning, painting the sky in pinks, purples and orange. A perfect way to run along the loch: 13.49km at 5:19/km. Another week in the books, and Six to look forward to this weekend. 🌅 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

After yesterday's washout, a dry morning felt like a small gift. No sun, but still a decent 11.64km run at 5:17/km. It was also my first run of October. Where did September go? #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Currently reading Flashlight by Susan Choi, an enlightening exploration of how names shape our identity. As someone who has been a foreigner for much of my life, this passage felt especially meaningful, and I suspect it will resonate with many of us. #BookSky #Flashlight #SusanChoi

Dark morning, and autumn is definitely here. But I had the tracks all to myself as the sun just broke through above the clouds. 13.37 km at 5:31/km. Basking in the early sunshine is always a plus. ☀️ #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Woke to pitch black this morning. The shortening days are really starting to show, and getting out of bed was that little bit harder. But I laced up and hit the road anyway: 11.38km at 5:24/km. A little nippy, but worth it. 🌅 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Starting Susan Choi's Flashlight today. The reviews have been glowing and the hype is real, but I'm just looking forward to settling in and seeing where it takes me. 📚 #BookSky #SusanChoi #Flashlight #AmReading

Woke up to a wet morning, but not wet enough to keep me honest bound today. Got out and covered 13.69km at 5:16/km pace. Nice way to close the week too — weekly target ticked off. Small satisfactions on a grey morning. 🌧️🏃 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

After yesterday's rain washout, it felt so good to be back out on the road. 11.53 km at 5:22/km, with the sun painting the sky in purples and oranges. Managed to snap a photo too. Days like this remind me why I run. 🌅 #RunSky #Running #UKRunning #Scotland

"Just finished A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka. A title that intrigues, a story that leaves its mark — family, love and a history rarely told, all handled with warmth and wit. Strongly recommended. #BookReview #Reading #Bookstodon

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Back on the long run trail for round two this week. Warm and unseasonal after the recent chill, but the sun painting the sky again made it worth it. 13.66km at 5:25/km. 🌅 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

First run back after the flu. Still feeling a bit rough, but it was so good to get out and open up the lungs. Properly dark out and I was sure the rain was coming, but it held off. Started the week with 13.45 km at 5:32/km. #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Uni open day season in Scotland, and this year it's our turn. Our oldest daughter starts university next year, and we couldn't make her earlier visits, so Stirling was a must. Honestly one of the most beautiful campuses I've seen. Awards well deserved. #Scotland #Stirling #UniOpenDay

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

My final run was planned for Friday, but the flu had other ideas. A tickly throat became full-blown flu by the end of the day, then vanished just as fast. Rest picked the schedule this time. Back out there soon. #RunSky #Running #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Beautiful morning run today — a gentle breeze at my back and rain clouds gathering on the horizon, but I chanced it anyway. Glad I did. 11.69km at 5:23/km, and worth every step. 🏃‍♂️ #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

0151

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Not a cloud in the sky this morning — just sun painting everything gold. Perfect conditions for a run. 13.47 km at 5:25/km, and I felt every bit of that beautiful light. 🌞 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Damp, humid morning but it wasn't going to keep me indoors. Took a new route through town and caught it waking up — quiet streets, a few swans saying hello along the way. No sun today, but 11.60km at 5:28/km still felt good. 🦢 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

After a restful weekend, it felt so good to lace up for my first run of the week. 13.32km at a steady 5:31/km pace — easing back in gently. #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Sundays are for rest and a family walk. Kept it local today with the oldest deep in schoolwork, but still found somewhere new — Calderglen Country Park in East Kilbride. A bit of green bathing and a brisk walk was exactly what we needed. 🌳 #Scotland #ScottishOutdoors #Walking #Photography

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Perfect Friday run — 11.39km at 5:22/km. Darker mornings have a silver lining: I got to watch the sun rise properly, creeping over the horizon and spilling colour across the sky. Hard to beat that. 🌅 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Nice breezy run this morning — easy and consistent pace. The sky put on one of its shows, full colour array as the sun rose, and a family of deer crossed my path. 13.41km at 5:38/km. Mornings like this are why I run. #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Beautiful morning for it — the sky putting on a proper show of colour. One of the best parts of running outside is catching nature at exactly the right moment. 11.65km at 5:21/km, mixing it up with a run through town today. #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Nice relaxed run down at the loch this morning. Mornings are getting darker — a sure sign the seasons are turning. Still good to be out there. 13.52km at 5:17/km. 🍂 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

0122

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Why do weekends fly by so fast? Another damp morning here, but nothing was going to keep me indoors. Slightly slower pace today — 11.41 km at 5:28/km. Still felt good to be out there. 🌧 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Didn’t want to stray too far from Hamilton, but couldn’t waste a sunny morning either — so we headed to Chatelherault Country Park. Stretched our legs, shared some good conversation, and made the most of the light as we wandered round. 🌞 #Scotland #ScottishOutdoors #Walking #Photography

Less damp than yesterday, and the sun finally peeked through the clouds. 13.50km at 5:20/km — weekly target met. Already looking forward to getting back out there. #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

First run of September and summer’s already slipping away — the dark months are creeping in fast. Still, got 13.61km done at 5:12/km, a nice step up from my last few runs. Time flies, but so did I. 🏃 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

After a rest day, this morning greeted me with that peculiarly Scottish rain that isn’t quite rain — more of a persistent spit. Still got 13.47km in at 5:22/km, and closed out my weekly target in the process. All good. 🏃‍♂️ #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Wednesday’s run: 11.39km at 5:17/km pace. A cooler, dry morning with the sun putting in an appearance — hard to complain about that. Hoping it holds for a proper sunny day ahead. 🌤️ #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

13.41km today at 5:17/km — a touch slower, but honestly getting out the door is the win. A soft drizzle kicked in near the end, and the swans at the loch were out to say hello. Good morning for it. 🦢 #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Kafka @kafkatheblackcat.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Starting the week with 11.32km around the loch, pace a touch slower at 5:22/km — but who’s counting when the sun’s breaking through the clouds like that? Some runs are about the miles, some are about the moment. #RunSky #Running #MorningRun #UKRunning

Weekends mean family walks — new paths, fresh air, putting one foot in front of the other. Today we walked Anstruther to Crail, taking in the sea views and the strange rock formations at Caiplie Caves. Grateful for the clear skies. #Scotland #ScottishOutdoors #Walking #Photography

Just finished The House of Doors by Tan Twan Eng — what a beautifully realistic world he creates. I was rooting for the characters from the first page. Having visited Penang myself over the summer, seeing those exact places on the page made the story feel even more real. Loved it. #BookSky #Penang

There’s a glaring loophole in England’s glue trap legislation. While it’s illegal for the public to use glue traps, it isn’t illegal for stores to supply and sell them. We are calling on the Government to ban the sale and supply of glue traps to members of the public in England.
