#beatyesterday

Sunday long run with Coxhoe on the run, another cracking morning, cool, still and sunny. The route around Garmondsway quarry and the windmills (wind turbines) on the hill near Trimdon, mostly trail with a cut along the road at the top. I drove to the start to avoid too much on my foot but it seems fine. Last run before our holiday, it still looks too hot and humid for much running. #runnersofmastodon #running#garmin #beatyesterday

Wednesday easy run with Coxhoe on the run up to kelloe, across to quarrington hill then back into coxhoe. Warm with a cool breeze in places. I didn't post yesterday's abortive run that didn't end well but tonight made up for it. #running #runnersofmastodon#garmin #beatyesterday

Sunday long run into Durham. No boat unloading until later today and as we are on top of the trailer sometime in the w3eek is more likely. A decent run, grey and cool but dry. #runnersofmastodon #running#garmin #beatyesterday

Wednesday easy run with Coxhoe on the run, around the villages, up the hills with some pleasant chat along the way. This evening I've replaced Hen Ogledd with Meic Stevens who despite my love of Gorkys Zygotic Mynci I had managed to completely miss. The welsh Bob Dylan apparently, which I get but to be honest he seems to have been so much more. #running #runnersofmastodon#garmin #beatyesterday

Short run this morning as I was off to Scarborough to visit a machine tool supplier. Always a heartening experience seeing something useful being made. Designed, manufactured and supplied in the north of England. Back home to find Hen Ogledd's new CD, a totally magical album. I'm not sure which has helped with my recent low mood possibly both, the weather, bird song in the mornings or maybe just time. #running #runnersofmastodon#garmin #beatyesterday

Sunday easy run with Coxhoe on the run. Bright sunny start to the day and warm enough. I ran to the village hall the back through Bowburn together to pick up Strawberry lane, through some muddy fields then back to Coxhoe and the lamplight for coffee. No scone this morning as I was running back giving a total distance of around 21km. #running #runnersofmastodon#garmin #beatyesterday

Unfortunately we had a last minute cancellation of the head this morning due to rising water levels. A nightmare decision but it's a hard call, a decent flow can trap inexperienced rowers against the pier at Elvet bridge and getting a four or four plus cox out of a boat there is something that is hard without the flow. We swapped out for our regular training session stepping the distance up. Next race Derwentwater head. #rowing #rowersofmastodon#garmin #beatyesterday

No otters this morning but a beautiful dry, still day for a final rehearsal for tomorrow. Warmup then heads piece back to the club, cool down and paddle in. Very busy with colleges fitting in a bit of pre-race practice. I hope to see none of them on the safety launch tomorrow. #sculling #rowing #rowersofmastodon#garmin #beatyesterday

A beautiful cool morning, bird song, a dress rehearsal for Durham SBH next weekend (weather permitting) and five minutes gazing at an otter on the return half trip. #sculling #rowing #garmin #beatyesterday

Sunday and a cool grey run around Durham setting out from county hall around Aykley heads. brasside and back into the city. The sun got out just as we finished. A lovely run with Coxhoe on the run. #running #runnersofmastodon#garmin #beatyesterday

Saturday back #sculling on the Wear. Strong flow and rising levels but we got out, warm up, exercises back up and down then a steady head piece then a half trip to cool down. We were the only boat risking Elvet which was just clear enough to get through with blades tucked in going downstream. The stream was really challenging, making steering and even feeling the rhythm hard with the blades on one side of the boat almost snatched from our hands while the other side needed work. Next week should be Durham head although looking at the forecast I'm not sure it will be happening. At the moment we can get two boats into the water at a time. Running an event with 70-100 boats just wouldn't work. #rowing #rowersofmastodon#garmin #beatyesterday

Friday and we are back on the river although we kept upstream of Elvet which was partially blocked. A good call in the dark. Hopefully back out on the river again tomorrow morning. #rowing #rowersofmastodon#garmin #beatyesterday

Easy Wednesday run with the lovely folk at Coxhoe on the run. Cool dry and muddy but lovely running. #runnersofmastodon #running#garmin #beatyesterday
