Out with the small running buddy, Miss MoneyPenny, sorry for not getting her into the frame, but you try to take a snap of something that got a bee(hive) up her backside. She didn't catch anything today but boy did she try, jumping from tuffs of grass to a hole in the ground, zooming from the rock on the right to a bush on the left while still staying ahead, and slightly pulling the lead, of me. Now outside the HQ and she is still looking for something to hunt and ready for another run, at least Paddy had the courtesy to have a lie down when back from a run.

I think, I did this correctly, playing around with Suunto's training options and 10 week training plan, by starting with a rest day ;)

Since the last few weeks really threw a spanner into the works and my 16 week trail running marathon plan went out the window. I owe it to Paddy the Irish Mutt as he has been my running partner for the last two years, to finish this run in his memory.

Restock of various supplements done, and kit upgrades ordered, come on boy we got this!

Some of you might have noticed I haven't posted any running post lately. We had a few grim and horrible weeks, I did manage to run with him but really didn't feel like posting. As we sadly had to say goodbye to our wonderful Mr Patrick Long Legs aka Paddy the Irish mutt. His illness took a turn and we weighed up all the options and the best one was to send him over the rainbow bridge. While he was still in a happy place.

Run free my wonderful running partner, I'll miss you goofyness and cuddles.

I was quite forgetful yesterday. First I forgot my ear pods so had to run naked. Boy, do I make a lot of noise ;) I don't play music/podcast at ear bleeding levels, I can still hear things around me. I clearly consecrate about what is playing and therefore don't hear my huffing, puffing and sniffling. And then I forgot to post the 5km run here.

Today I tried to run up to the top of a hill but at 1km to go I bunked and turned around, didn't feel like pushing on until the top. I haven't eaten well over the last few days and yesterday's run I think I pushed a bit to hard and haven't recovered yet.

So a numpty decided that it was a grand idea to go up on the moors, after two very hot heatwaves and not much rain, too let of fireworks. We drove through the smoke as we passed Manchester on our way north. Even 30miles away on the other side of the city, the smoke was too thick to go for a run yesterday. Luckily today the wind changed direction and I could go out for a run on my somewhat local trails.

There's something to running familiar trails as you don't have to get the map out to look at to find an alternative route, if you want to go longer or there's live stock in the way. Though today's "slowdown/timekiller/rest stop" was a fella repairing a dry stone wall, just amazing skills.

Well these rest and recovery days really only works if you actually do some running around these days ;)

Inspired by Courtney's anticlockwise winning run at Hard Rock 100, I went anticlockwise on today's run and also set a PB. Though I think it was more down to that it was bone dry and not the normal quagmire this route often can be.

Oh look @robchapman we are in your old playground ;)

Well that second up hit hard. The first lump was along the ridge where second was directly up Fell running style, had to stop and replace lungs a few time. But we found the first Welsh trig of the year. Stunning view and a stream for Paddy to cool down and wash my toes as there was still a few buggy places up top.

I did about 3k on the Dragon's Back Race route, can I now say that I'm a DNF'er on an Ultra Run ? ;)

Oh and which one of you lot (points at fellow mastodon trail runners) entered my lass's dreams last night and proclaimed that you were a painter and decorater?

Well the run didn't remove the depression and sadness of how dirty the yUK has become. People really don't care anymore do they. I tried for most of this week to ignore it, but what I saw last night, just tipped me over.

Going out on a run on the mainland, I would sometimes come back with a bit of litter, a wrapper of some sort and now and again a drink bottle/can. Everything could easily fit in a dog poop bag and a side pocket of my running vest. We rarely had to do any litter picking when parked up for a night and if we did it would be a small amount.

Since arriving into the yUK every time we parked up, we litter picked and witnessed overflowing bins. Last night at a location where people clearly come for hikes or to sit and enjoy their chippy tea. I've just done a litter pick and put a bag full into the provided bin.

A young couple had their take away in their car, open the door and dumped their litter, under 10m away from the bin. And they drove off, I jumped out of HQ and made a clear show of what I was doing but they were not looking as they speed away. A bit later on the last bio break for the mutts for the night, I picked up 4 1L bottles someone else had just dumped.

On today's run I could have filled two 30+ liters bin bags with the amount of litter laying about, heck even broken car parts, just why!?!

Fecking depressing, I'm not saying that the mainland is spotless, they got their dirty spots too and fly tipping, but at least it doesn't feel like you are running through a garbage dump when out and about.

The near 6km loop failed as the path was totally overgrown with brambles and I could see on the other side signs saying private land. But Paddy got to tap another trig point and we enjoyed some lovely bridle ways.

First run after nearly two weeks heat-atus to see if the legs and lungs still knew how to do this thing. Could probably have gone further but didn't want to have a blowout on the first run back. Now I just got to get back into the habit again, run off a few months worth of French baked goods, run a marathon before we return to the land of crossaints ;)

First run after nearly two weeks heat-atus to see if the legs and lungs still knew how to do this thing. Could probably have gone further but didn't want to have a blowout on the first run back. Now I just got to get back into the habit again, run off a few months worth of French baked goods, run a marathon before we return to the land of crossaints ;)

A steady humid urban trails run'n'sniff, while HQ is in for her service. Driving around in the Pyrenees does work the breaks a fair bit. Good quite green lanes shared with cyclist in farmland just outside town. Only issue was the travelers encampment as they had loose dogs, lucky they stayed close to camp and didn't give chase after us. Plenty of streams to stop and dip Paddy boy.

Well that didn't go to plan. Set off early to beat the heat for a half marathon and 800mEg. The first 3-4km I just coughed and couldn't get enough air in, no matter how slow I was going. This drained me so much, that when I got to the halfway point, and saw that the farmers were out moving their livestock around and would be using the tracks and mountains, I was hoping to use, I decided to call it a day.

I think it was a mix of pollen, dust and not fueling enough, that made me weak today. But it was a stunning morning out for it in a beautiful location.
