Wrote a post about my run on Tuesday, with photo, but the internet has eaten it, so here is a shortened version.

Tuesday 7am, national trust woods, lots of squirrels, morning ground mist, hardly any people, not too hot, chatted to friendly dog owner and dog, got licked by dog, managed a nice steady 5k, thank you! Keep cool out there peeps ❄️

Great progress grumps. All you need from a run; not too hot, bit of atmosphere and a friendly dog plus squirrels. Heavenly 😊

Thank you BC,I loved it, felt like my old self again. I'm sure the speed will return in time, but it's really not as important to me as feeling good on the run.

It's not a time of day I see very often from outside, I'm so glad I took myself out.

Ha, sounds like you had a great run GoG, reading between the linesπŸ˜‰...

You did well to run 5k in this weather!

Now, about this dog, was it little or big, long or short-haired, was it carrying a stick or a ball... did the dog see the squirrels?πŸ˜†πŸ˜‰

Happy running😊xxx

Young, bouncy, glossy black, Very Friendly, on a lead (yay!), wanted to jump up, and did πŸ˜‚ but lovely owner warned me so I took my chances. Couldn't place a breed, I'm no expert, but size and look of a red setter. If it had seen a squirrel, I don't think it would have been very interested in me πŸ˜‚ Oh and I had finished my run and was walking back when we met 😊 😜

Sounds like a lovely run! Doggies love sweaty runners! πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•

Nice report, although shame to lose the longer version. Must have been nice to run with squirrels.

They were definitely taking advantage of the quiet before lots of humans turned up! I stood and leaned on a fence after I'd finished my cooldown, watching them scamper about stashing acorns away. Yes, it was a touch annoying when the first post disappeared😏

It does happen on this forum. Things tend to vanish occasionally.

Yes it's true and I was blameless this time. But I remain philosophical

If the connection drops it loses your write up. Happens to me all the time 🀨

Wow! That’s how to do a non-rambling post. What more do you need to say? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Yes I had a few disappearing posts when writing up on the phone so I now compile them in notes and copy and paste to HU.

Or you could do it in emojis.

Lovely cool inviting forest. Glad you had a good run. Forests are good for the soul. I'm such a tree hugger! Think I'll pop over to the arboretum for a run this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration! πŸŒ³πŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€οΈπŸŒ²
