-No not that sort of first. After wimping out of doing a parkrun in yesterday's gales, I took myself out along a local bridleway that drops down to a main road, across that, along a little lane to the canal towpath. As I was running down the lane, a 4x4 came towards me. And then-gasp- the driver STOPPED NEXT TO A PASSING PLACE so I could run past! I think he must have been one of us, so if he is reading this, thank you sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman! ๐ The section along the towpath was uneventful, but I was in a considerably better mood, and I was a much more conventional colour than after my 7k ๐ Btw, autocorrect would like to turn towpath into too-ry-ay,I was tempted to leave it ๐
A cheeky 5k and a first-?: -No not that sort... - Bridge to 10K
A cheeky 5k and a first-?

Congratulations, good run for you today, nice the driver letting you pass in the lane.

I love my too-ry-ay runs ๐. Iโve been cheering on runners whoโve been passing me while Iโve been polishing the boat (2.5 days it took!) How lovely of the 4x4! Glad you had a good run ๐โโ๏ธ
I passed a canal boat that was flying the Jolly Roger, anything to do with you, baddie? Can't help thinking that all my canal runs will be along the too-ry-ay in my head from now on ๐
The only thing missing from my running life is a canal or river to run by. I think they are magical places; the flowing water and the wildlife.
I noticed a Jolly Roger flying from a neighbour's garden this week and immediately thought of BTP...they are spreading! More pirates around than in an episode of Black Sails! โ ๏ธ
Time to practise our yo-ho-ho technique, then we can all join in!
Arenโt you getting confused with Santa?
I'll settle for the bottle of rum!
I'm having to be a t-total pirate due to meds. Can you believe it! And I love spiced rum too๐
A pirate who can't swig rum....not sure how that works? I have been TT because of meds for over two years. I never was a heavy drinker, but partial to a nice Rioja and Hendricks G&T. Truth is I now sleep like a log and am much fitter, so blessing in heavy disguise. Not sure how it will work at our youngest' wedding coming up in May though!!๐พ๐พ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Doesn't really go with the image does it! Age is forcing me to moderate my drinking habits. Rum gives me a headache, but giving up the Hendricks, ooh that's too tough! The wedding now, well I'll leave you to sort that one out for yourself, beachcomber!

Must be because your autocorrect is a fan of Dexy's Midnight Runners! ๐
How fab was that driver??? Sounds a like a great run GOG.
