Muddy 10k - ☺

Had to take an extra rest day due to rubbing from my wet socks and trail shoes leaving me with a bit of a tender patch on one ankle. Back out today though for another 10k, again on the trails and another muddy, undulating journey through the Surrey countryside! It may be tricky, but fields and mud are definately good for improving strength and balance! Now I've got home to a power cut, so my hot shower will have to wait!😠 Happy running everyone☺

Wow.. sounds like fun to me.. apart from the 'no hot shower' but, apart from that :)

10 K though that sort of terrain, not easy...but clearly very, very satisfying.

Go you :) x

PS

I agree on the balance...! I was like a tightrope walker yesterday trying to balance on the dry bits above the troughs of mud!!!

...and of course, there are the muddy bits where, in true Going on a Bear Hunt style -"can't go over it, can't go under it, oh no! we'll have to go through it"😮
