Tolerated 50 something dad, grandad & other half. Displaced Newcastle United supporter. Run a lot chasing sanity with my dog, Across miles of rural Scotland. Thought I caught it once. Mostly harmless.

In Scottish slang "honkin'" (or honking) means something terrible, dirty or absolutely disgusting. It is synonymous with words like mingin' or boggin'; used to describe unpleasant scents, rotten food, or poor quality.

Here's to all the honkin' runs that have got you here. Go on yersel' 💪😜👌

February #running roundup I forgot to include in today's run with 146 miles, making 307 for the year so far 🎉 Ironically, life feels more relaxed with a bit of extra effort each day. Although I post here as a personal diary, connecting with like minded souls makes it so much more.
Cheers 🍻 #5kaday

Good stuff. I've a mate who raves about Hoka shoes. Have you tried your Megablasts yet? I've found mine egging me on to speed up. They don't seem to like an easy pace so either need tamed or saved for faster pace runs. It's probably going to be the latter but they're fun to run in.

Any news on the new shoes?

'Take it easy' and I'm sure you'll love it, especially the finish line 😜

A relaxed Wilbur dog #run before part 2 of the car deep clean ready to head south. First daffs are opening and heard the first woodpecker of the year stotting it's head off a tree. Spring really is here!

Day 365+56 - Rain, breeze, cool, wet.
A soggy solo #run with a chance to stretch my legs a little. Bit more 'tempo' than intended. Constant rain with plenty of standing water to splash about in, especially off-road.

A lumpy Wilbur dog #run up over the brae. Difficult finding rhythm waiting for a sluggish pooch who needed carried over some gorse bushes blocking the way. Fine weather with the first lambs fresh out their wrappers.

A lumbering Wilbur dog plod and a head full of shite. Hard to run away from some of the ideas that lodge themselves deep inside.

Day 365+53 - Sunny, stiff breeze, cool, damp.
A relaxed #run in the morning sunshine. Wilbur dog unleashed for the most part trotting behind with a few stops to let him catch up.

Cheers 🍻 I'm too tight to pay for varifocal contacts 😂 I got too used to wearing them a few years ago and scratched my eyes up so only wear them on long rainy runs these days.

Day 365+52 - Rain, calm, cold, wet. A good #run this morning with a strong #Parkrun sandwiched in. Drizzly rain so I wore my contacts which meant seeing the course but not my watch. Timed a course PB of 22m19s. Life in this 'seasoned' grumpy old git yet 😅

I'm right there with you. I'm heavier than I was this day last year with over 2000 miles in between 😜
