First road run in a year😱

[Oldlady57]

For the last year (since moving), I’ve been trotting round my garden & doing a few park runs. Well today l went for a “proper” run!! I say a run, there where plenty of deep puddles & in places, running water on the road. I covered 6.58km. Not fast but throughly enjoyed it. Beginning of a new chapter me thinks. Happy running folks

You did really well running that distance after not having a proper run as you say for a year. Here's to lots more😊

[Oldlady57 in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks Buddy!! I’ve been running round my garden regularly (3x5k) a week. The gardens about 1/3 acre. There wasn’t a challenge to it. Think I’m ready for the magic plan now😱

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Oldlady57]

I do too😊

That’s very impressive! Well done and what a grim day. Glad you had some luminous clithes to balance it out

[Oldlady57 in reply to Couchpotato2]

Thanks Couchpotato2. Just took a storm to get me out there 🤔

Enjoy those road runs, I do pretty much all my running on roads, not so slippy and muddy although with all that rain looks like you need to be careful on yours. you must have an enormous garden if you’ve been running round it. Happy running

[Oldlady57 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thank you Grannyobe. Think of a gerbil in a cage spinning around on a wheel🤣🤣you get the picture!! The gardens about 1/3 acre, complete with a man made track!! Glad l ventured. Happy running to you too 👍

What was that big puddle like in the distance? A swift leap over it, a dodging bounce off the hedgerow it was it just, oh sod it let’s just get my feet wet?!

[Oldlady57 in reply to Dalmorangie]

Defo”oh sod it” moment Dalmorangie 🤣🤣there where plenty of others to wade through too. Glad l went when l did. The weather has been horrendous since👍

[Dalmorangie in reply to Oldlady57]
