Took the new kayak out for the first time, my body might be a wreck but the water still loves me

3rd run done in 4 days... not long distances but need to get a grip of my lardy arse and this is a start. Knee MRI results tomorrow, more running, hiking and biking later in the week... Also managed not to eat 27 Kit Kat's today - result.

Did Go Ape yesterday in Peebles, mildly terrifying as heights are something of a worry... Survived though.

That is quite the view!

After a few weeks off I'm back in the hills #hiking #scotland

I did the unthinkable - booked the private MRI, my need to run again and stop being unhealthy currently override my socialist principles

Such a sad day, my NHS doctor this morning told me to get an MRI done privately on my knee. I've never thought the NHS would be so under pressure that they would tell you just to pay for the treatment you need. Sad times

The world's in pieces right now but my primary worry right now is 'why am I grinding my teeth so much?' I think I need to reprioritise...

Oh absolutely, it's no Tinker, Tailor but I enjoyed parking the brain in neutral and just going along for the ride :)

Captain America: Brave New World review - worth a watch, mostly enjoyable.

Trying to get fit enough to hike the West Highland Way with the family this summer. No midges this weekend but there will be come the summer #westhighlandway #scotland

Fat man in a dryrobe

Hiked Sunday (13km), ran tonight (3km) I mean I feel like total turd and my knee aches but progress. Now I'm sat poolside, listening to happy hardcore, boiling in my dryrobe but too fat to remove it

I've got my fingers crossed for you though that it isn't as bad as you think but get seen as soon as possible and find out that's the quickest way to get back running

Two years of weight gain here so I do sympathise - don't angst it, just try and keep a modicum of control, mine was rotator cuff which required surgery, snowboarding injury to my ankle and then reactive arthritis post covid in my knee (and some broken ribs). Still very much recovering.

Have my knee and ankle calmed down enough to do a short run today - we'll find out later...

I hope wherever you end up going I hope you have a lovely time! The outdoors are awesome!
