Lovely muddy run in the sun ☀️

Yesterday I finally managed to land a nice sunny day for my day off in between the rain! Me and the OH had planned to do a run in the forest if the weather was good. And it was!

We set off with the plan to do the usual lap, a nice circular route of about 3.75km plus a 5 min walk to and from the car. Its a nice track that goes round a little lake, and is part of the park run route. We wanted to try to go round it a second time to see how far we got before we walked.

We did the first lap and felt good so carried on, chatting and enjoying the sunshine and then boom before I knew it we’d completed the 2nd lap! There was only the steep hill back to where we start our cool down walk to the car.

This is the furthest I’ve run and it felt great 👍 I’ve been buzzing ever since 😊

Fabulous Anna! It’s fun when you surprise yourself with an unplanned achievement, and I’m impressed that you were chatting to your husband on the run too! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Well done both of you! 👏👏👏

That sounds like a lovely run - well done on a great distance! Having a running partner obviously worked for you!🙂

Congratulations on your furthest run yet! 🎉 It is nice running near water - our parkrun route does that too.
