Describe your ideal run, ride or swim.
I like to run in the off road. Hills, remote places, or country lanes, or the beach. And while I'll happily do runs by myself, it's more fun with friends, isn't it? Fresh air, pretty scenery, exploring new places with friends old or new. :-)

What's the biggest challenge that awaits you?
I've been running for 10 years, so I've done the main challenges that I had: sub 3 marathon; West Highland Way, which is the premier ultra up here in Scotland. I'm hoping to keep running until I'm 100. The challenge is avoiding injury, innit?! :-)

What's your favourite thing about Fetcheveryone?
Oh, where to start? Great community of inspiring people. Possibly one of the most consistently helpful and supportive groups ever. Irreverent but often smart and knowledgeable too. The tools, stats, race directory etc. are pretty brilliant too. :-)

How do you pick yourself up when you need to?
Cake. Chocolate! *cayke* and *chocolate* Seriously, just try and remember how lucky I am, loving family and friends, general health and well being. Others with far greater obstacles, battling daily, still smiling. I never lose mojo for running. :-)

What’s the best bit of advice that you would give to new runners, bikers and swimmers?
Slow down! Seriously, even if your goal is to get quicker, start slower. You can build up volume and speed more effectively if you don't get injured all the time. Build up gradually. Take breaks. But do build. And believe! Great times await! :-)

About Me
Started running 07 after a nasty mountain bike accident end of 06 (a week in hospital and a spot of plastic surgery) put me off mountain biking. (See fetcheveryone.com/gallery-showphoto.php?id=19442 for gruesome detail!) Decided running on 2 feet couldn't be as dangerous! Edinburgh Marathon 08 was the goal. Joined a club, did some training, got injured, got physio'd and fixed. Did it in 3:42. Pleased with the time. Loved the experience. But most of all I love the feeling of running, the camaraderie of the club and the lovely, lovely land of fetch. You are all wonderful!
*Update: Fetch Festive Calendar wanted an update. Errr, I'm not a parsnip. There you go.
Fetch (provisional) Fun Five:
* In training or on the bench?
- No injuries for a while. Hope I don't jinx things!
* Next Big Challenge?
- No big challenges. Windermere marathon May 2020, won in Rents' Brathay ballot will give me training focus.
* Long Term Goal?
- To run until I'm 99 and avoid injuries
* Biggest obstacle to overcome?
- Age and frailty? Horses? The lure of a couch and pipe? Working obligations getting in the way of training and fun? Actually no, biggest risk is doing too much, too hard and breaking!
* How are you feeling? Happy

Current Status
Hadn't updated for ages. Well, 2020, what can we say? You have been mostly sh*t! But no injuries, no one seriously unwell, missing family and friends but hoping for a better 2021! Take care. Stay safe, stay sane!

Foam roller, leg stretches, squats, lunges, sit ups, plank, side planks, wobble board side raises, trim curls, bi curls, presses, machine chest press. Then a run. Nice to see Alan and Lisa D. Strange times. Last gym before Christmas and level 4 lockdown?

Hi Corrah! *waves* You won't see this because you comment before I uodate my notes. But... was 5km round a park with my sis! A park cos she doesn't have offroad shoes. And Kirkcaldy Beveridge park cos if you're going in car anyway, why not? It's nice! Was great to run with her. She's not running much at mo with a 1 year old. Lovely day and lots smiley peeps.

A wee adventure. MrsSrrr off over a field because she heard shouting. Turns out a neighbour's dog was attacking a young deer. It was already a runt, small with a damaged leg, and has been in her fields before. She rescued it from her dog then put it in the field where dog couldn't get it. MrsSrrr wanted to take it home but sese prevailed and we left it to fend for itself. It will probably not make it. Then went through fields n woods negotiating v big fences and gates. Saw the guy that used to have the Goshawk. Upgraded to a Golden Eagle. Omgosh is that big! Cold, v hard ground. Lovely.

B*gger. Done back again. Had been teaching Kh to ski! Benefits of having fields! But bent down to help him back and felt it twang. Didn't stop the skiing but when I started run, could feel it straight away. Limped on, but had to walk most of the up hill and down. Oh well should be better in a couple days. Always happens!

Mostly teaching! Xc ski to field from garage. Then one run down n walk back up. Swapped to Kh then showed him snow plough. He got it very quickly. Doing turns after half dozen runs. Great fun .

Testing out back. Could still feel a twinge lower right with right foot in front landing. But much improved. Great to be able to run. Very icy so taking it careful on side verges etc.

That was nice. If not quite as planned! With sis n bro in law n 2 yr old niece. I did day to them it's up a hill. Run would take me 1 hour. So walking would be 2 hours. Bound to take longer with littlie but... anyway! Lovely views, beautiful weather. Nice to see Lyn n John B. And my back feels much better so tested out a run after.

Horribly icy. The worst conditions with the melted leftover dregs of snow from a week ago then -5C overnight and barely thawing days making all that melt into sheet ice. Anyhoo, picked my way gingerly through trails. Even off road was icy. Then pavements hit and miss. Roads best. So might have to plan runs that get me onto roads as quickly as poss. Which is a pain because it's what I like least. Back was fine though. Wish it would either thaw or snow properly. Think a thaw isn't until next week though. Hey ho!

A over T. It had to happen! Just stopping (walking) before gate and it was sheet ice! Horrible running elsewhere too. Have ordered Kahtoola Nanospikes which should be more usable on the mixed surfaces. Lovely day, but just cannot enjoy running when it's as precarious as this.

First run with new Kahtoola NanoSpikes. They're ace. Complete confidence. Was the full off road route which was almost unmanageable in the X-Talons, absolutely great. And where I went A over T yesterday and down the drive where it was worst, all good. Very little tarmac / pavement on this run so don't know how they would be with more of that, but seemed fine.

Nice run again. Very cold -1C? small amount of new snow and below it the refrozen ice and packed snow from before. Lovely and sunny, no wind. Kids and parents out sledging. A couple of lads maybe 14 yrs old? dedicatedly doing sprint repeats with a stopwatch on the frozen astroturf pitches. Made me think of John Kynaston, who sadly had a heart attack a couple of days ago and is in a coma. He worked in children's sports, as well as being at the heart of the Scottish ultra community. Lots of kids with active lives and outlooks will be down to him and people like him. Was thinking healing thoughts towards the West for his recovery. Stay strong John. G

Well, that was fantastic. Andy had contacted me to say what about a run at weekend. I was up for it and totally flexible. A bit of checking of rules and 2 people from 2 households within 5 miles of border of county and we could do Ochils. Yay! Went for Castlehill reservoir car park (bit of confusion delayed us by 15 mins as I parked by the cottages at the res and Andy was in the layby, but no matter, found each other. Then which spikes for the ice? Andy went with Kahtoola Micro Spikes and I put on my Nanos. I had intended to take the Micros as well (they were in car) but half mile up road and I hadn't taken them. I decided to stick with Nanos and hope I didn't regret it. I didn't!
0C temp but felt warmer than it had for a week. No wind and some blue sky and some clouds. Shorts, 3 layers, hat and gloves for me. 2 layers and longs for Andy. Me with bum bag, he with small ultra ruck sack. I had spare ski gloves, longs and base layer, foil blanket. He had full body cover and blizzard emergency kit. I had choc bar! It was dark at 7.30 when I set off from house. Light as we started running a bit after 8, with the sun just showing orange sky on the horizon behind the hills to south and east. Up the road and it was 2cm thick ice, turn off through gate onto grass trails, surely better? Nope! Snow had been packed with lots of walkers over last week and had frozen solid. Fine 1 metre to side of path, but path was sheet ice. However our spike coped admirably, me plodding on and Andy able to sprint up vertical walls of ice! A lovely 5 miles of Seamab, Common Edge but then a choice of Innnerdownie to add more on? Oh yeah! It really was glorious. The shin deep snow was fun, the ice was fine, quiet in the trees, beautiful views from the tops. No one out. First group we saw was coming off Innerdownie (a friend of Andy's of course!) and then some mountain bikers as we got lower down to the woods. Stoppd off at the Lopez's house at Glensherup to say Happy New Year. A river side farm road parallel to the road to take us back via Burnfoot. Great route, great company. Thanks Andy!

-2C S suggested it was slippy, so I put on the Nanos. Glad I did and it meant I could do the most off road route, which was nice. Fun and always good to get out and clear head.

Hmm, warmer but with the few cm of snow and ice now melting it was slightly slippy (not worth the spikes I decided) still and *very* wet. Nice to get out though, as always. Always happy to remember that we're lucky to still be able to do our hobby, running. And long may it continue.

Run to chemist at Asda to get prescription inhalers, and iron tabs and some deep heat cream. Melting snow at us and fields and hills, clear on pavements. Nano spikes came off on the totally clear tarmac. No probs. Nice to say hi to a few walkers. And some wee kids in hoodies and trainers wanting to see our horses. Told them to stick to paths. They looked like mischief but were nice as pie!
