Tuesday run, short version 🙃

[grumpyoldgirl]

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 😊

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Beachcomber66]

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.

Love it... sounds wonderful!

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Oldfloss]

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

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Ha, sounds like you had a great run GoG, reading between the lines😉...

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?😆😉

Happy running😊xxx

Young, bouncy, glossy black, Very Friendly, on a lead (yay!), wanted to jump up, and did 😂 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 😂 Oh and I had finished my run and was walking back when we met 😊 😜

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Thank you for filling in the details, I can see it all now😀...🙄😅xxx

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Can't leave you guessing! 😂😂😂

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

I need to learn your ability to keep posts short GOG. I just go on .... and on .... and on ......

Sounds like a lovely run! Doggies love sweaty runners! 🐕🐕🐕

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to cheekychipmunks]

😂😂😂 Ha, you didn't see the one that got eaten, cheeky! 🤣🤣🤣 The dog was a lovely bonus, whatever its motivation.🤔

[UpTheStanley Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

But on .... and on .... and on .... that’s the way you run, too 😀👍

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to UpTheStanley]

Hahaha touché! 😅

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

One licked my sweaty knees this week😊

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

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Stephen_UK]

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😏

[Stephen_UK Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

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

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Stephen_UK]

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

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

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

[lexi6 Graduate10]

Sounds like heaven to me and what a beautiful place to run. Wildlife and dogs ❤️

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to lexi6]

It was magical Lexi, I can't see myself repeating it any time soon, but I'm so glad I did it.

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Yay! My notifications are working again. I’m so looking forward to running in beautiful areas like your photo shows. Just lovely and its still going to be there when you want to do it again. Brilliant National Trust. 👍

'Feeling good on the run' - the key to happiness!

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to JonathanP]

Yep! 😁

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

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

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.

🏃‍♀️☀️🌲🌳🌳🌲🌲🌳🐿🐿🐿🐕🚶🏻‍♀️😅

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I like the emoji idea Dexy! I need to find a way to be concise. That might be the answer! 🏃‍♀️👍🐕🥵🎵🤓🤦‍♀️✅💪🐌😅

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

It takes less time but we do enjoy your excited tales.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Oh ok then, I’ll keep rambling! 🙄😅

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Dexy5]

😂😍🤗

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

This could catch on!

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10]

Sounds pretty great to me! 👍🏻😁

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thanks JoJo 😊

[Slinkymalinki Graduate10]

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! 🌳🏃‍♀️❤️🌲

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Slinkymalinki]

You're welcome, enjoy your run 😊

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Short but beautiful description. Perfect! 👌

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thanks, but you've raised the stakes with the emoji post😁
