Babes - Return to the woods

Well ok, it was me and CP2 ๐Ÿ˜ We were hoping for a cooler time under the trees, and it wasn't as hot as Tuesday had been, but we were still pretty much cooked by the time we finished! We set off together on an out and back, CP was planning on running for 30 minutes or so, and I was aiming for 45 minutes. We didn't run together, but we were in sight of each other for most of the time. Lots of families, dogs, horses, kids on bikes to be dodged. Met back at the cafรฉ, where else, and recovered over tea and cake. Had to refill our water bottles at an outside tap which I think is for runners and dogs ๐Ÿ˜‚ We were both happy with our runs, going today means we have to miss parkrun again this week, but it felt right to get a run in today, then go again hopefully Sunday. Happy runs this weekend folks.

Sounds like a really good run with a near perfect ending (where's the triple chocolate brownie?). Sounds like you are back in form. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Had to make do with a raspberry and white chocolate muffin (me) and a granola bar (CP2). It was a sacrifice, but we were pleased to do it on behalf of you all๐Ÿท๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿท๐Ÿฐ

It was hard work at first and felt slow, but our times weren't far off, so fingers crossed ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks IP, it was nice to have my real life running buddy back. Cake is not optional ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿท

Well Done, you two. How great that you can run in the same place and enjoy coffee and cake together afterwards. Chocolate brownies were more popular than flapjacks at parkrun today.

Ah but these aren't just flapjacks,dexy. These are oozy, gooey, totally addictive flapjacks. And the muffins are wicked too ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Not so much piratical finery on display though!

It was really nice, Lexi. CP2 has got photos on her post, if you haven't seen it yet.
