eBike Day. Windy showers before and windy downpour after, but I stayed dry. My first day in longs as the temperature drops. 2 roadblocks: road repairs and cows on the move. No photo evidence. #outsideisfree #cycling #onthemove

Last Easter I pushed distance and pace too hard for 68yo with some arthritis in left knee. Nice and steady since then. Yesterday I was chuffed to do 6k, walk for 10 mins and do a further 2k. All very gently. I want to still be running at 70 and beyond. #runchat #outsideisfree #parkrun #runningpunks

For anyone who might need this today...
Hope. It can be a powerful motivator. When it seems like we are down and out – when we’ve hit rock bottom – even a small glimmer of it is enough to start us climbing back up. #outsideisfree #parkrun #runningpunks

A blue sky, warm weather, and good legs — that's pretty much the ideal running combo. #outsideisfree #runningpunks #loverunning

And so it was. Biking on a stunningly gorgeous early-October morning. Of course, a scone with cream is obligatory.
I might get a short jog tomorrow before Saturday's #parkrun. If legs are heavy I'll rest up.
Hope you enjoyed whatever moved you today.

It's bike day, and sky is blue. I won't need windbreaker as I did recently.
Bike is my first love and #running is my mistress! Different strokes. #outsideisfree

I'm not a fast runner, but I run so I'm a runner. Today's 5k brought me along here. Your mission, should you choose to engage, is to figure out did I go clockwise or t'other way. 😜
How was your run? Fast or slow, clockwise or t'other way?

Easy pace run. God, how I've missed them. Time to notice things, and more importantly permission to stop for a moment to grab a photo.

Saturday: Parkrun. Monday: weights. Today: Mountain biking through woody trails, a rushing stream, and quiet tree-lined roads. Autumn is around the corner.
What's next?

Picked up this tip recently. Delighted with my 2nd Parkrun since mid-July. 33 will be my Autumn average and I may decide to give it a real go during winter if I feel good. A real go would mean chasing 29:52 that I set back in January.

Big thanks to #VHI ambassadors and local volunteers at Wexford Racecourse #Parkrun today. Two other highlights. Firstly, my granddaughter investigated the finish bell. Secondly, David Gillick, Irish & European 400m champion, ran 50 metres with me!

I'm back on a plan. Today was Day 1: just an easy 4.5k run. Sunshine ☀️ helped and breakfast afterwards was delish.

My #parkrun research unearthed this...
Tyne Green gave an award for the oldest Great North Run T-shirt: 1981, worn by a man who ran it at 13 when nobody had invented a minimum age. The prize was described as something money cannot buy, and that nobody would pay money for anyway.

After 84km on the bike today, my quads are a wee bit sore. Was it the #Parkrun yesterday or did I push too hard today? 🤔
I'll want to do a review.
#outsideisfree

Today was a good day. My return to Wexford Racecourse Parkrun after being sidelined for nine weeks.
Apart from the running (and some walking) I enjoyed nice chats along the way. More next week.

The River Blackwater, upstream from Dyson's Ballinatray Estate, and Zuckerberg's Strancally Castle. In Irish it's called An Abhainn Mór. Literally translated as the Big River.

Showery today. The garden will love the sup. I got on my bike with my friend. Showers didn't bother us.
Two more days until my Wexford Racecourse #parkrun return. Yes it is a (horse) racecourse. For Saturday, my since mid-July will be steady. Very steady. 😜

My last run was on July 18th, and I'm thrilled to get the surgeon go-ahead to start over. By Halloween, I won't know that I've missed seven weeks! 😜
