My name is Mouse. 56yr old male. I #run🏃🏼for fun. Better a little smile than a big ego. Kind hearts are more than Coronets, & simple faith than Norman blood.

Mainstream media have decided that THEY determine the “correct” opinion, and then we get to hear the stories that support it. Journalism is supposed to give us the FACTS and then WE form an opinion.

Not been running much & not posted on Twitter much. I’m juggling lots at work & at home. No:1 son started a trade training scheme on Monday. He’s exhausted. No:2 son in a tizz as he fell short on his Higher Maths exam result. His career plan scuppered. He’s resitting this year.

My aunt who emigrated to 🇺🇸 35 years ago once told me when I was going through a difficult time in my life, after she herself went through a difficult time, ‘apples will grow again’. Indeed they will 🇬🇧 This is my flag. These are my ppl. You are too 🇺🇸 🤝 🇬🇧.

🚢 ‘A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.’ I’ve now missed all my running goals & targets, & my running streak from the 1st of January ended a couple of weeks ago 😢. Long story. That’s the way of it. But, I’m still here. Moving. Grateful. Blessed.

10 year run streak!! 💚🏃‍♀️ Fantastic miles on this lovely morning. A ton of hills so I could get my route to be the number 10. Home before sunrise. I love to run, it's that simple!! Shou Sugi Ban technique on my Oak wood 10. #RunStreak #4amRunClub #runner

Any employers or households in 🇺🇸 that would like to sponsor & employ a 56yr old 🇬🇧 gardener (plantsman) & lawn care specialist who wants to escape 🇬🇧, then I’m available. I want to be a US citizen & live out my days in the Land of the Free. Ex-Army Commando. +’ve work ethic 💪.

Chips & mushy peas 😋. Sat on a bench at the side of a path, sheltered from the wind, golf course & sea view. No salt 😔. I’ve been given my orders from my adult children - no salt 🧂 keep your blood pressure down. No stressing about work. Only happy thoughts in happy places 😊.

🏃 around the lake, through the woods, down to the river, & back. Loved every step. Needed it. Wishing folks a lovely weekend. Keep moving forward, no matter how small the steps may be. Little by little, slowly but surely.

My sons had their Proms this week. All went well 😮‍💨 I cut through a customers phone cable this morning 🤦‍♂️ - discovered it was old cable, thank goodness 😬 Oldest son & his pals flew ✈️ to Belfast this morning - I’m worried 😧 Blood pressure v high on Monday. Got it lower now.

My number one son has his school leaver’s prom tonight. Looking very dapper in his suit. Number two son (taller than us - we fed him well 😂 + he’s a gym bro) has his school prom on Thursday. Busy week. Very proud of my boys. Growing into fine young men.

My wife has no social media. No facebook, twitter, or instagram. She doesn’t watch tv. Never listens to the news. Her life is her family. She keeps me sane in an increasingly insane 🇬🇧. But for my happy place, I’d go insane too. Without her, I’d move to 🇺🇸 Texas, & be a cowboy 🤠

Not posted in a while. Great to see folks posting their running & fitness journeys. It encourages me, & no doubt many others. I’m keeping up my🏃‍♂️streak. Only the minimum 😔. Tiring at work & busy at home. I’m enjoying the colour in my garden. Peony / Alium / Aqualegia / Quince ☺️

Starting the day in a good way. I’m a great believer in the power of the mind & the psychology of exercise. Understanding how the mind can be trained to work better, like our bodies. Environment can also impact the way I feel. A change of location for the weekend lifts my mind 🧠

It’s been a busy week. Wet too. Only 1 mile run each day. Reason: mega busy. My oldest son passed his driving test on Monday. Been looking for a little car for him everyday. Travelling all over. Ended up here (Falkirk - The Kelpies). I’ve ran here before. He got a car 🚙 🥳

I ran through some woods this morning. A track that started at a gate & an archway, and ended around the edge of open fields, with the coastline in the distance. The underside of this wooden bench caught my eye 😱 🕷️ made of metal. I bet it’s given a few visitors a fright 😂

“Miss Grover left the court without making any comment. She later posted on social media saying she was “absolutely devastated” & that women were being discriminated against. … I also said, “we will all wake up tomorrow & men will still not be women.” An important point.
I am absolutely devastated Men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women in Australia. It is women who are being discriminated against, not the men who claim to be us. But in a sense, nothing has changed: we will all wake up tomorrow & men will still not be women.

A run further down the coast. A mix of coastal trail & road. My legs feel okay after yesterday’s long run. Happy about that. Even happier that I’m not training for anything. No races on my horizon. Just me, my legs, & the path ahead. I feel relaxed. A lovely morning for a run. 🏃
