Oops! I was in my own zone with a red face...!

I was out on my run mid morning, full on wind and rain, (thus a red face from word go), running a quiet (usually) and narrow country road with streams of water flowing river like each side. Music ๐ŸŽถ in one ear, nearing the top of the 2k hill, happy and relaxed, loving my run and in my run zone, when I remembered Iโ€™d best check if anything behind me. ( I had been checking! Honestly !) I donโ€™t hear as well as I would like and so keep the good ear music free! And of course youโ€™ve guessed it - there was - a land rover. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ oopsy daisy ! I leapt across onto narrow verge, added suitably embarrassed look to already red face and waved my hand to acknowledge their kindness and patience. Wondering exactly how long had they been there!?! And as they went by, the passenger, and I do not know how, (my odd looking hat pulled virtually down over my eyes) suddenly waved and grinned keenly showing they recognised me! Oh crikey, of all the people etc etc! Hmm ๐Ÿค” I knew it was a potential hazard but took the risk today. Thereafter I managed to be aware of the tractor, quad bike, dustbin lorry, postman, another land rover, two cars and a bike! Quiet road indeed!! ๐Ÿ™‚

Youโ€™re right it was busy today! Couple of weeks ago it was busy too as the local hunt was out and the followers were along the road in their cars! Careful route planning needed!
