Oh, What A Beautiful Morning 🎶

[Debston]

Gorgeous frosty morning here in Kent so got out for a scenic run before I had chance to make any excuses to put off until tomorrow. On Monday I did an out and back on pavements as I couldn't face another muddy run. My shoes stayed clean but it was very unsatisfying - running along the main road with trucks, buses, etc. So today I chose a nice scenic route instead and decided not to worry too much about any muddiness. Enjoyed it so much more. ☺

It looks great Debston . I had to google what day it is as I thought it might be Thursday as you mentioned Tuesday in your post !

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to SteveWebbo]

I just spotted that and changed it - I meant Monday! 😂 No idea what day of the week it is, clearly!

[SteveWebbo in reply to Debston]

I'm a bit gutted as if it was Thursday it would be my weekend starting tonight as I'm in Bahrain - never mind !

😂 Sorry to get your hopes up!

Looks nice. I love running in this weather because I don't get so hot! 😁

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to ForbiddenPlanet]

Cold and bright like today is great, though I was still pretty warm by the end of the run. I have forgotten what it's like in the summer when you're sweating just from the warm up walk!

[ForbiddenPlanet Graduate10 in reply to Debston]

I'm hoping I manage to lose some weight before much warmer days are upon us! 😀

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to ForbiddenPlanet]

Me too!

I can't wait for some warm sunshine, I know it's hot and sweaty but I've had enough of winter🤣

Lovely photo Debs. 😄 Great you enjoyed your run. I hate being alongside too much traffic too. 😄

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

I usually avoid running along pavements for lots of reasons but I was just ready for a non muddy run. I'm coming to the conclusion that I need to buy some woodland and make my own personal (non muddy) running route!

[grumpyoldgirl]

I'm not keen on roadside running either. I imagine that every car driving past contains someone who knows me! Looks beautiful 😊

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Yes, there's that and also just the fumes and the noise of trucks, just doesn't feel very nice.

Great you had such a good run, close to traffic is never nice especially if there are alternatives. Happy running

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

That looks and sounds perfect, sometimes you have to just have a bit of mud

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Not too muddy on my route today, I came home with dry socks! That's not happened much recently! Hope you're continuing to recover.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Debston]

Dry socks are the best, I like to run on the sand when the tide is out and always end up with cold soggy feet

I think we are nearly there thanks, had a nice walk and i ran a bit

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Great running weather Debston, I always run on pavements and I get how you love a trail run as the only time I get to experience that is at parkrun. 😊

[JaoJao Graduate10]

Well done Debston, glad you got a nice change of scenery and I empathise with not wanting to get shoes muddy! My local parkrun has been so muddy last few months, and I spend so much time getting my shoes cleaned up again!

[Astra5 Graduate10]

Well done you 😎 Getting past the potential “put off” block is great. Hope to be back out next week if not before. I prefer the pavement running but only because it is convenient and we have a good long stretch here.

Lovely! Mud and all 😁
