The dangers of running like a Loris

The weather has changed today. It's about 22 degrees and overcast. I decided to run up into the hills for a little way. The thing about slow running is you feel like you could run all day. Before I realised how far I'd gone it was 5K so common sense returned and I turned around. I hadn't intended to jump back up to 10K yet and my legs ached a bit at the end but it was a nice run.

That looks and sounds like a lovely run. Are you on holiday somewhere nice?

Running like a tourist really is the best thing ever👍 ☀️🏃🏾‍♀️

It's an old river bed that runs from the sea up into the mountains. I normally cycle up. Coming back down is a real hoot.

I don't go fast enough to startle anything.

Gorgeous. What a beautiful place to run. Very easy to lose track of time and distance!
