Nice to see the sunrise this morning. Forecast was for cool weather with the windchill but I overheated 🥵, it could have been short sleeve weather. Tired today, 6h sleep, so i cut the run short. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Drizzle but not enough to wear my waterproof gilet. New playlist (180bpm) caused amusement - playing Muse’s ‘Madness’ in the rain and the line ‘I don’t know where I’m going’ from Whitesnake. All good fun👍 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

So tempted to stay in bed when the alarm went off but, as I’m not running in the stormy weather tomorrow, I needed a run to make up for a week where I’m short on miles. Spectacular sunrise over Liverpool. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Easy paced run along the Mersey embankment & through the park. I’m down on miles for the week, there’s no running on Sunday due to the storm but, as Jo Pavey says, ‘do what you can do not what you should do’ #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

First run after 4 days of serious man-flu (a whiny sniffle?).Glad to be out despite the heavy rain, quite enjoyed it. Normally a waterproof gilet would suffice but I needed a waterproof jacket as well today #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Perfect running conditions , 6° and a gentle breeze, timing it right to see the sun rise over Liverpool . Easy pace, Zone 2, 178 bpm Podrunner music. Forecast for rain until the end of October - boo! #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Because it does ….

An easy paced sunrise jog listening to a 174 bpm playlist. Light trail shoes chosen today as I picked up a blister in my road shoes yesterday (wrong socks!). Loving the weather , 7° and sunny. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Sunrise run. Needed my head torch initially. Loving the way the light continually changes during the run. Some local wildlife out and about. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Back on home turf & a slow blustery run this morning. Surprisingly slow, but given the wind and jet lag ! Just had my toes sorted by the chiropodist - ah bliss & hopefully fewer complaints from my family! #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

The President of the United States taking the piss out of a mentally ill man who died just a couple of days before. Frankly, I expected nothing less from this sociopathic arsehole.

Here's a musical reflection on Trump's latest violation, undermining Ukraine's prospects. Again sung in their support, and adapting #bobdylan's beautiful refrain to make the point that "It Ain't Kyiv, Babe" starting wars. #SlavaUkraïni 🇺🇦🎶💛💙 Details/lyrics: youtu.be/skM3U8xNy48

Last Charlotte run before we fly this afternoon.Needing to get a run in to start the week before jet lag hits 🥱I’ll miss seeing the grandkids but I don’t want to hear ‘Let it go’ from Frozen for a long time! #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

A relaxed rainy run, on the margins of storm Isaias.I wore my gilet initially but despite the rain it was too warm to wear 🥵. Best music was ‘Going Under’ - Evanescence and ‘I am the highway’ - Audioslave #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Nice one Liverpool 👏👏👏

Heavy rain when I set off this morning, I did have second thoughts, but it cleared up quickly and my gilet had to be discarded. Enjoyed the reflections, smells and sounds of a rainy run. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Nice early run. Planned a shorter 6 miles but it ended closer to 7 anyway. Enjoying this early running, few cars, and just a few folks/runners about. Running is my happy place where I can control the agenda. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Love these morning runs, better than the treadmill runs at the start of this holiday. I like the mix of greenway trails & urban running. Only downside is the inordinate time waiting at road crossings😠. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Standing up to the balaclava nonces. Inspiring.

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.

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

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

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

This is just state barbarism. Nothing less.

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

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

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

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

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

Another early treadmill run 😬. I count down the progress ‘cos it’s so boring, 10% done, 20% done, 1/3 done etc. Hopefully I might get to run a local Charlotte greenway at the weekend. Podrunner at 181bpm #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

An early start on the treadmill. Podrunner at 181 bpm to keep me bouncing along. Did some intervals after 3 miles. Inexplicably I’ve developed large blisters on each of my big toes - Vaseline tomorrow. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

Treadmill run😢. It’s bloomin’ dark here in Charlotte at 6.30am! An hour is as much as I can do without dying of boredom, although the treadmill is easier on the knee. Podrunner at 180bpm to keep me going . #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

King Charles lll coast path at Wallasey Embankment. I’ve run this route many times and have been a Strava local legend here but I’ve never bumped into him! #FingerpostFriday

@pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of Best for Britain: “Carney is treating the EU as the strategic asset it is, and the UK must do the same, going much further than the status quo to signal our intention to apply for membership. Voters want it, our economy needs it, and Burnham can deliver it.”

Slightly slower run, knee a bit stiff, but I largely missed the rain & enjoyed my audiobook (suspicious death in Norfolk). That’s 8 consecutive days running so a day off tomorrow is welcome. Next run in 🇺🇸 #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

Dodged the rain today , it was heavy before I set out but all I got was a lovely sunrise. Knee at 1/10 discomfort so able to push the pace a bit. A bonus run day in lieu of a travel day to 🇺🇸 on Thurs. #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

'If Farage will do you a Cameo for £70, just ask yourself what he'd do for £70 million.'

16°C this morning 🥵 but a fab sunrise over Liverpool . Knee behaving after the first half mile & pace was reasonable. Finished my audiobook so ended the run with 180bpm music. Monday miles always feel good #Run #Running #GoPro #Runnersofbluesky #Run1000miles #Trailrunning #runsky #runnersover65

"So tell me Mr Farage, what was it about a system favoured by money launderers that allows donations to be totally untraceable that first attracted you to crypto?"

Unfortunately Liverpool FC will be sponsored by Turkish Airlines next year. It’s all about the money 😢 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
