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

@s1m0n4@ohai.social not really a possibility, more of a certainty. It was all predicted but written off as doom saying and negativity. I've been involved in country of origin reporting and standards compliance. Both made more complex by Brexit but a country is easier to lead with emotions rather than rationality.

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

Another Monday #sculling on the Wear. Just about light enough for the outing. Birdsong, cool air but not cold. A light wind. Warmup backup to the clubhouse and down to baths bridge. Tired legs from my run yesterday but a solid outing.

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 run with Coxhoe on the run. Mostly road, yesterday most local parkruns were cancelled due to mud or ice. A good crowd and some industrial strategy chat post run in the Lamplight over a coffee and scone.

Saturday morning finally #sculling on the Wear. After a couple of weeks with too much water finally out on a cold but sunny morning. The club hosts one of the Durham motorcycle club this weekend and thankfully the weather has improved a little for the campers.

Out on Kelloe way this morning for a run that started grey but ended sunny. Very muddy but good fun, I took the car to the start after 13km yesterday with the Parkrun sandwich. Durham small boats head being cancelled as the river is well above safe rowing levels.
This morning the group was larger. Around 17 runners, lots of looping back, mud, char and mire mud. I wore my trails yesterday and came home caked, today was slower so no mud above my knees. A stop off at the lamplight for coffee and cake afterwards. We had planned a table for seven but ended up with fourteen.
SBH rescheduled back two weeks. Fingers crossed we see some pause in the precipitation.

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
