...make sure a few of them are dirt."

Ok, so what I mean is "mud". It makes me happy!😀🏃🏽‍♀️ (albeit quite a bit slower!) Building work on the house (and associated disruption) is finished, plus I am off for two weeks. Time at last to go running every other day again and having more time to come on here (I have missed the lovely folk and support on this forum). I have had a few months where my time for running was really eaten in to, although I tried to get out whenever I could and really missed it when I could not run 😡. I am a much happier person when I run regularly so it is great to be back in a better routine at last! 🙂

Happy running to everyone!

mud, glorious mud!!

Glad to hear you are able to get back to running regularly and more time catch up on here! A question - How do you clean your shoes? I find mine smell a lot after getting wet and muddy!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

A hose and a stiff brush (if needed, but a decent hose is usually enough) and then stuff with newspaper to dry! I am quite speedy and practised at it now!🙂

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you! Yes, I use newspaper too!
