Trial run - 6km achieved

[IAmCharliemouse]

Today I tested out the route around the lake. And in the process managed to run about 6km - another personal record.

I did not run all the way around - I started with a brisk walk for the first half km, and also got lost and had to pause to consult my map. But I did make it all the way around, a little less than 7km.

So my goal of running all the way is still there, waiting for me. But I am much more confident that I can do it. I have a better idea of the route, and a feel for where the hills are.

Anyway, here's another photograph of it.

That looks gorgeous Charliemouse. It also looks very early in the morning!

Thanks. It’s actually sunset. I am not an early morning person. 9am for parkrun is about as early as I usually manage

I really love being outside early in summer but I rarely get out of bed in time 😂😂

[IAmCharliemouse Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

It's years of laziness, being in 'couch' mode, that has conditioned me to not being a morning person. I am better now, but still sunrise is not something I usually witness.

Beautiful lake - where is it? And brilliant progress, well done 😊

[IAmCharliemouse Graduate10 in reply to abitwobbly]

Thanks. It is Virginia Water in Windsor Great Park.

Ah, lovely, I've walked The Long Walk but missed out on this due to time constraints, must fit it in next time I'm out that way 😊

From the Copper Horse to the castle is a nice downhill 4km run. Of course you then have to get back. 😁

[abitwobbly Graduate10 in reply to IAmCharliemouse]

Oh yes, I remember it was a very hot day that we walked up there and were surprised how steep it felt and that was just leisurely walking 😁

I definitely have Lake envy 😊.

Well done on the 6k.
