Mostly running. Some cycling and sea swimming. Fuelled by coffee and plants.

Black coffee in a blue camping mug looking at the downs in the distance. Dog hiding behind the mug.
Black filter coffee in a camping mug sat on the grass. If you look closely you’ll spot a sheepdog shepherding sheep in the field and the Sea Mark on top of the hill.
Razorbill. This one was in the shade of the cliff (as was I) making it easier to get a clearer shot.

Screenshot of tree pollen levels in my local area.
Brand new bit of coastal path that has been built but I guess the right of way is in dispute. Meant a very irritating detour and then a walk along a fast road with no pavement.
Kissing gate with no fence, been like this for a while.
Email from Netflix reminding me to finish watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine
There is no hide, just an empty broken wooden base where it used to be.

First ascent was very wet, steep and without anything resembling a path. Felt like it went on forever.

View out from a walk up high with clouds in the sky, mountains in the background and the sun breaking through right onto a lake.
Screenshot of the stress screen on the COROS app from Tuesday when I woke up still unwell after feeling rough Monday evening. Really shows when things started to improve later in the day.
Screenshot from HRV4training showing HRV and heart rate back in my normal range. Advising I can “proceed as planned” with training.

Fire pit with a fire in it.
Camping cup of coffee in the foreground, out of focus field in the background. Plus the sea in the distance if you look closely.
