Joyful run this morning

6.20am...Alarm went off...i did consider staying in bed but I was awake now so up and out!

It was a beautiful morning (unlike yesterday - glad that was a rest day!) sun was out and i took to the flats and did my 5k on the grass. Oh how i missed you grass runs and how i look forward to many more of you now the weather is hopefully changing for the better.

Took a run around the lake...the geese were out munching grass looking at me like some kind of mad woman lol. Surprisingly there was hardly anyone out this morning - not even dog walkers.

Feel excellent for having done itπŸ™ŒπŸ˜ƒ , and despite not having done a grass run for a while i took a good 1.30 min off my 5k time...not a PB yet but maybe a SB :-)

Happy running all

i've decided to break down to seasons...to give some incentive as i have not managed a 5k PB since last year in June lol..at least that way i feel like i'm getting closer :-)

Good for you - that sounds like a lovely run! I am not very good at getting out early for my runs - now you've got me thinking I should try harder...πŸ™‚

Oh yes, it definitely was Alison! β˜€οΈ Beautiful sunshine and crisp air. I intended on doing 4k, but ended up doing a lovely slow 6k instead with my dog running free, having a wonderful time. πŸ•πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Aren’t we lucky? ❀️
