I just love your art. You are incredibly talented. Most of all I always love your subject matter.

Greetings from Hobart, Tasmania

Interesting that it is so similar in appearance to the Luttrell Psalter, produced around he same time but across the Channel in England. Beautiful documents

Hope you enjoyed the monarch #butterfly migration video.
Now let’s make your own: here’s how to build a flying paper butterfly. Simple, fun, and surprisingly graceful in the air.
Try at home

I started running & walking regularly in my mid 50’s. I got a sports watch 4 years ago & just hit an unbroken streak of 10,000 steps a day. Stats definitely helped my running & now at 64 yo still running well. (1’41” half) Interestingly running only accounts for 1/4 of total steps #running

After our Indian summer we were a little early to see the “turning of the Fagus” (deciduous beech) & always marvel at the other endemic, the prehistoric, alien Pandani, another Tasmanian marvel. Also cubed wombat poo.

Ran a half in the Hobart Marathon today. Settling into the distance as I move on from 10 kms. Happy with my time, PB, 2nd in the 60-64 group. I’m 64 yo & still ran a respectable 48 min 10k. The expected fatigue was minor & finished strong. Feel like I’ve made the switch. Great event. 🏃‍♂️‍➡️ #running

Couldn’t agree more. I started some easy 5k lunchtime runs with colleagues at work, a couple a week & my speed over 10 k noticeably improved quite quickly.

You obviously know your stuff. Hats off to your marathon ambition. I would like to try one but doing a few half this year & see how it goes. Good luck to you

I’m 64 & for around 10yrs have run 5k every 2nd day. 10,000 steps daily though. I normally do 10k fun runs competitively & up my distances prior. Still quite fast 4’30” km, no injuries & think 3-4 runs per week is enough. 1 long one on weekend. I believe the recovery days are vital.

Past & present. The newbie has some mod cons that are pretty amazing. First bike with cruise control-it’s the best.

Not a legit time as there were a few pauses but happy with back end 4’55” kms. More consistent & stronger for longer

Chestcam video of a big trek up our beloved kunanyi via bush tracks. A mild but wet windy autumn day but nasty wind chill at the summit.

Thanks Jessi, that’s good to know

I ran up our local mountain on Sunday (posted) to prepare for a road half marathon in 2 weeks. I’d like to go under 1’45” but it’s not a flat course & I’m not quite there yet. I’d be content under 1’50”.

After hitting a 10k goal last year, I’m tackling some longer runs. In the process I’ve hit 500k+ steps over 4 weeks a few times.

Great stuff, I’m jealous of your map animation. Is that a strava thing?

I’m a dog guy & nothing against the cats. Lovely animals, but how do I stop a thousand cat pics flooding my feed? I’ve tried the “show less”. Cat it out!

Big run/walk to top of distant mountain 1270 m. 18+ kms in wacky weather. Snow forecast!?! Mostly just wet & windy but deadly wind chill on top before jumping into my ride home. Tough & spectacular as always

I ran/walked up there today. Erratic doesn’t begin to describe it. Mostly her temperamental old self but wind chill on top was deadly

Just the dawg

My run routine for several years has been 5k every 2nd day, longer runs on weekend, some trails & 6 or so 10k fun runs a year. This year going longer, slower, more trails & some half marathons.

Some personal pride but hopefully also some encouragement for others. I started running in my mid 50’s, stats below at 64 yo.

I really enjoy your posts. Just wondering, do lots of your followers tell you what a fun-gi you are? This mushroom is from the Overland track in Tasmania.

Glorious day on the Gone Nuts 101 fun run.

Lovely old Sally
