So after spending all morning being a Couch potato catching up with the world cup matches I decided to head out for a run before the forecast rain arrived.

Hmmmm it turned out to be a bit eventful.

I decided to head towards Big Waters nature reserve for the first time in about a month.

Issue 1 was that in the intervening time the stinging nettles have run riot around the narrow paths and I ended up getting stung several times.

Issue 2 was the hordes of midgies and other assorted nasties down by the water, a fair number of which I think I swallowed.

Issue 3 was getting caught in a torrential downpour and thunderstorm for the last 3k as I staggered in looking and feeling like a drowned rat.

All in all given the circumstances I was pretty happy with the pace.

Now for some more couch potatoing with another world cup match and US Open golf to watch. ⚽️🏌️‍♂️

Run happy, run safe.
