Recovery run 5, getting there now 😊

[grumpyoldgirl]

Off into the woods, intending a nice little out and back, maybe getting to 5k if all went ok. At the halfway point, thought I'd take a path back through the trees rather than the open ride I was on, and promptly got lost. I know, I should know better by now 😂 You can't get really lost because there's an A-road running through, but it meant I had l little longer back, so I kept going until I got to the main path at 5.4km, then had a nice looooonnngg cool down walk back to the car. 🤔🤣🤣🤣 So, I'm a happy (but tired) bunny 😊

You are a tired bunny, you got lost in the woods, that reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood, at least there were no wolves around, nevertheless, you enjoyed your run today, that is the main thing. 😊 🏃

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to AlMorr]

😁 No wolves thank goodness Al, lots of squirrels and I found my way home 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Yay, well done grumps. Lovely run. Managed my 3.5k comeback without incident, other than getting mixed up in a dog fight!! You are back on song😊😊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👏👏

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Beachcomber66]

Dog fight?!😵 Well, you seem to have survived it, BC, go us! 🙌

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Not my dog 😊 so I am not stressed by it...just told them “enough” and that stopped it..one had a wound though..left the owners to sort it out after things calmed down.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Beachcomber66]

You must have the voice of authority 😁 Glad it didn't spoil your run

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Works with dogs anyway! We have hard large dogs for 20 years or so, so dogs don’t frighten me; they are usually grateful for an excuse to disengage. Often it’s the owners you have to watch out for!!

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Beachcomber66]

That's got the ring of truth to it!

Next time take some breadcrumbs like Hansel and Gretel ...... 😅

Sounds like a delightful run though GOG. 👍🏃‍♀️😀

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I've checked my run now, and I somehow crossed the path I should have turned down 🤔... Hey ho! Yep, maybe breadcrumbs will help, they'll fit into Al's fairytale scenario anyway 😂

getting lost is a fun thing to do...glad you did not get too lost though and ended up doing 10K

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to nif100]

Now 10k would have been something! 😁 In the time B.R. (before running) it would never have occurred to me to wander off alone without an ordnance survey map, or a friend with a sense of direction. Now I happily trot off into the woods all by myself 😁 funny thing this running lark.

No teddy bears picnic bit sounds like a fun time x

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Jogunlikely]

A teddy bears picnic would have been lovely 🐻

[Slinkymalinki Graduate10]

Lost in the woods on a lovely run (of good length!) - sounds like heaven to me. Glad you are getting back on track. 🌲🏃‍♀️🌳

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Slinkymalinki]

Thank you slinky, the legs are recovering quickly, my lung capacity still a bit dodgy. But it felt so much better on that run, more like my 'normal'.
