Bridges Bells and Boats

[DebJogsOn]

I had earmarked today for my Wk4 run in roseabi 's Winter Speed Challenge - however woke up to the brilliant blue sunny skies of a perfect Spring morning and decided on a longer run somewhere lovely (there's still next week for the speed challenge after all!).

So a wonderful jaunt taking in some of my favourite bits of Oxford 😁 accompanied by the sounds of oars in the water and church bells. Didn't stop to take photos (though did stop to chat to a family from school clearly amazed to see their Headteacher running 😂) just soaked it all in. Some food for the soul before the return to work tomorrow!

Still only 6 weeks and then Cornwall here I come.

Happy running everyone 😊

Sounds heavenly, Deb! What a great run, too. It was beautiful out there today, really good for the soul running weather. 🌞😁

And ooooh where in Cornwall? I have booked a trip there for June, and cannot wait (to run by the sea).

We're going to stay in Newlyn (we found an amazingly luxiourious cottage there last year) but I love any of the West coast from St Ives down through St Just and Sennen and round past Porthcurno, Lamorna and Mousehole to Penzance and Marazion.

I think if I could live anywhere in the world it would be hard to find somewhere I felt happier in than Penwith. 😊

That sounds fantastic! We are renting a very swish apartment with harbour views in St Ives. It will be my first time in Cornwall, shockingly! I cannot wait. 😊

St Ives is soooo lovely. Great beach running - but very hilly through town and fantastic coastal walking. I'm very envious- imagine still having Cornwall to discover for the first time. 😍

You're gonna love it 😊

Looks beautiful from the map! As you say, speed can wait - sometimes we need to take the pressure off! 😀

It was lovely. We've lived here for about 15 years but I've have recently rediscovered the beauty of the city through my early morning running.

And yes the speedy runs can wait 😊.
