My colleague took me running round Lyme Park. I’d been looking forward to/dreading this run for a few weeks now.
It has been pouring down for days now. It was flooding in places a couple of days ago, it poured down yesterday, it rained all morning...
...then come 1:30pm we finished work, the rain stopped, the sun even shone for approx 3 seconds, and off we went. (How jammy are we!? That happened last time when we did my first 10km together).
I’d been told 4 hills. Well I didn’t manage to count them but standing on the top of one hill looking over to the other hills we were going to run to, complete with valleys in between I was impressed. I didn’t run up all the hills, one was too rough and stoney, but the rest my legs just aren’t strong enough yet. But I did a fair amount of running uphill, until my knee muscles and lower thigh muscles were burning.
Back and showered now and looking forward to all the muscles my body is going to build in response.
Lyme Park is incredibly beautiful. We saw a herd of deer 🦌🦌🦌🦌 and 2 rabbits 🐇 🐇.
Glad that’s over. Night night!
