Am working away from home for a few days, and determined to find a nice route this time (last time I ended up just running along the main road as it was December and I needed streetlights that early in the morning but it wasn't fun) so I googled it and planned a fantastic run through the villages and all back along the banks of the River Trent to my hotel. It was a good 7k and I went out at 6 so missed most of the heat, and it really set me up for a hard day at work. I said hello to dog walkers and this time mostly fishermen, but it was glorious to be out in the cool of the early morning in a strange place (which usually severely knocks my self confidence) so I feel grand!

Well done with that. Definitely a very different experience to run somewhere new and unknown, isn’‘t it? But it sounds like you nailed it.

Running somewhere new heightens the senses, and the time passes so quickly

Well done 😃👍🏃‍♀️

I love this part of Nottingham. There's a good path along the Trent. We walk here often but I've not run it yet.
