Got to love a misty morning run.

I was awake just after 05.00 this morning, and having spent 2 days (so far) decorating, I was keen to go for a run, so why wait?!!

As I was trotting along admiring the misty fields and smelling the honeysuckle I found myself thinking of Vintage61 , and her post about not going fast enough if you can admire the view.

That got me thinking about dark mornings (I know, sorry!!) and how running is such a different experience depending on when and where you do it, it's not just a case of pounding the pavements. It's far more than that. It has taken me a few season changes to appreciate this aspect.

Today was a lovely run, physically a bit testing, as I have a decorating related thigh issue, but mentally quite joyful.

Everyone I saw seemed friendly, the man on the moped beeped and gave me a big thumbs up, 2 cyclists said "morning" and gave me room!!!

Today feels good.๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ

I hope it is a good one for all of you, now I have to get back to glossing ๐Ÿคฏ

It was lovely, after I stopped running I went and had a bit of a chat with some horses, maybe I should start taking some carrots out with me! It all just felt happy and friendly today.๐Ÿ˜Š

I always say hello to the horses. I said good morning to some cows recently and they jumped out of their skins! I was obviously so quiet they didn't hear me pounding ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Do they talk back to you?, I think I spent too much time watching Animal Magic when I was young ๐Ÿคฃ

I agree with you Jell6, a nice run around sunrise as you have described is nicer than a run in the middle of the afternoon, lovely photos you have taken of the mist lying low on the fields where you ran past. the official term of that is 'ground fog', makes the run more enjoyable. Talking about dark mornings, won't be too long before they are back, even now at 5 am it's starting to be dark.

You are right about sunrise runs Al, but I have always been an early bird, and it's so much cooler.

I have never heard of ground fog but it did look lovely ๐Ÿ˜Š

Simply perfect!

Thank you for sharing ...I love the quotation and the beautiful photograph!

Sounds lovely. The mist definitely adds something, doesnโ€™t?

Look after that โ€œdecoratorโ€™s thighโ€.

Thank you Stephen, too much crawling around masking out skirting boards and stairs I think ๐Ÿ˜

Itโ€™s killing me, started off getting the bathroom ready for a new shower, spread into all the gloss work in the bedroom, which somehow led onto the staircase ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ

Once you start.... you just keep going and going. You need to put that brush down or you will be still going next week ๐Ÿ˜‚Thankfully after my first attempt many years ago I am banned from decorating. Result ๐Ÿ˜€

Oh how lovely Jell! I hope to have a misty morning run tomorrow as weโ€™re off to a wedding. Thereโ€™s something magical about early mornings once youโ€™re out of the house. ๐Ÿ˜ Great run, well done! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Enjoy the wedding cheeky, imagine all the guilt free eating you will be able to do, I expect you burn off a huge amount of calories since you started all the mega runs ๐Ÿคช

I think if you didn't enjoy the views around you running outside would get boring. Also know how you feel just finished decorating my kitchen glad it's finished ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I think you are right, itโ€™s good to have nice places to run in.

I have at least another 2 days of decorating I think ๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Great running and some good thinking on the seasons. I know when itโ€™s below freezing out there I run faster... then Iโ€™m home sooner ๐Ÿคฃ
