Ok so it was meant to be 3.5k for my short run this week according to Magic 10, but it was so gorgeous this morning, how could I resist the extra 0.5k? π
Also, totally out of character for me, I ran somewhere different. π² I was in a bit of a rush today, and whereas Iβd have had time to go to the gym, there are roadworks and diversions en route, and I couldnβt risk going miles out the way. My regular route would have entailed Bristol rush hour traffic (no thank you), so I stayed threw caution to the wind and stayed local.
Well, what a revelation! The common where I often walk my dog! Itβs beautiful and funky all at once. All off road, rural landscape, lovely views - but with planes taking off or landing where you can practically see the pilotβs eyebrows! βοΈ
My dog was able to run free and play while I trotted around happily on the frosty grass in bright sunshine - and 4k sorted! What a bonus route! π Iβll use it again, although itβs renowned for fog or high winds as itβs very exposed, so Iβll have to pick and choose. But for today, perfect! ππββοΈ
Happy Thursday everyone! β€οΈ

Yeah pick and choose away ππ. A mix of routes gives you the best of all worlds, with a mix of terrains and surfaces, changes of level, slopes and hills Itβs all good πππββοΈπ
Must be something in the air! Found a hidden gem myself this morning I know that area a little (OH is a pilot) so I can just imagine how glorious that must have felt today! What a super run βΊοΈπββοΈπ
Ahh brilliant Equi! Iβve always discounted running up there because itβs so undulating in places, but Iβm tempted to go more often in future! πββοΈβοΈπ
Absolutely, TC. Itβs the closest running route to my house. Itβs 1/2 a mile away but I still drive as thereβs no pavement on our road! π³ Itβs really lovely and Iβve promised myself Iβll run there more often. π My dog adores it! β€οΈπ
Thanks Beanjo, yes Iβm still happy thinking about it now! Iβll definitely run up there again. Itβs a no brainer as itβs so close to my house compared to my normal route and parkrun! ππββοΈ
Wonderful run cheeky π The common sounds like a perfect spot to add to the running routes plus I find it more motivating when there's a choice of routes.
I just finished my second 10k, just! I've done two long runs already this week, possibly stupidly πππββοΈ Strength work tomorrow, parkrun Sat!
