Hello from bonny Scotland!
Just thought I'd check in and see how you're all doing? How's the running going? Mine isn't great due to still having foot problems but I'm just plodding around enjoying the scenery with my new dog, Geoff.
Have to say, I'm missing the varied terrain of Horwich and surrounding areas, I tend to mostly run around Forestry Commission land up here and never seem to get very muddy. I miss the mud!
Trying to take up cycling and bought a lovely bike which is great for all the country lanes and fire roads but I'm struggling to take to it. It's just not the same as running. You have to go out for a LOT longer to feel the same burn.
Open water swimming is fun though and there are so many places to go. The loch I've been swimming in is almost black - you put your head in the water and can't see a thing. Full of peat! There's also lots of sea swimming to be had around here too.
Anyway, enough from me - I'd better get back to work!
Stop by if you're ever in the area!

Christa, great to hear from you. I've also moved away from cycling, don't feel as safe as I used to. Running is on hold as the medics have finally had a good look at my heart and agree that is all bunged up. Hoping to get a date for by-pass op sooner rather than later. Had the occasional skinny dip recently, Smithills Res and a couple of Lakeland tarns in the last month - I think this is the way forward! What's your local loch called?
