Monday Photos 2021 #12 – “A Woodland Adventure”

This week’s photos of the week that was are from Philip and my woodland camping experience! We spent 3 nights at the beautiful Fire and Stars Woodland Camping, in the National Forrest in Leicestershire. It was all that we had hoped for and more, with very roomy pitches, each shielded by the others by trees…

My latest foray in an area I know nothing about was to attempt to dismantle, repair and reassemble my 14yo Kärcher pressure washer. It was bound to end in tears, but would they be of frustration or satisfaction?

Where I turn into a middle-aged hippie and embrace barefoot running. On a #DateRun. Yep!

With my running life back on track, I thought I’d turn my attention back to my blog: And what better way to start than to re-instate the Monday photo post: There is a scent of spring in the air today, so today’s “photos of the week that was” are an early fairwell to the winter….

The week that was, was sandwiched between two Long Runs: A 19 mi one (31 km) in the dusk then dark on Monday (owed from the Sunday of the week before) and a 20 mi one (32.2 km) in the mist then sun on the Sunday: They were both hard and absolutely fascinating, each in…

Having missed the second due to holidays, I was back for Chris’ third coaching session, and the last one before his coaching qualification. It was a lovely winter’s day, so we decided to attend as a family. I had visions of Philip running with Demi outside of the makeshift track Chris had set out on…

The week that was saw a speed of Harriers attend a coaching session taken by Chris, as part of his progress towards gaining his coaching qualification. The weather was good if chilly, the company good and the training a very welcome change to my usual routine! It left me with some new drills to incorporate…

The week that was saw the last road race of 2018 and my first ever 10-miler: I missed out on John Frazer 10 in September with the lurgy, but made up for it with Derby 10 on Sunday (25 Nov). Full review to follow, but a very civilised affair that even offered pre and post…

I was asked by work to film a very brief clip about me and my running, as part of a peoply initiative. I obliged, to the great mirth of all dog walkers who I run past repeatedly muttering the same incomprehensible nonsense, and slight annoyance of my wife, who was asked to choose between numerous…

Family running business continued this week: Demi completed week 6 of her couch (back)-to 5k programme with a 25′ run taking in that Braunstone parkrun hill; Philip did pushchair / run reps; and Daddy continued working on his dodgy ankle (I now have an old injury story – hurray!) and then went out and did what…
