Is this why we run?

I’m lucky as I live on the edge of town and can run on tracks, paths and the side of fields. It really looks as if the weather might be improving. 🤞🏻 Happy days!

It’s great, isn’t it? I love a country lane/track. Yours looks lovely 😊

It is but can get muddy. I know where the likely spots are though by now. 😆

That looks like perfect running surroundings 👍👍

There’s a Greenway round the town which is amazing for walks, runs and all things active. 13 miles in total - not that I plan to run it all 🤣

Looks lovely. My track degenerates into mud bath half way along, but yours looks perfect. 👏🏼

I turned round to avoid a muddle (mud/puddle!) earlier in the run!! I’ve learned by my mistakes 😆

That looks beautiful. Tracks where I live are so boggy. Am fed up with the roads !

Roads are definitely over rated. I did a parkrun on roads and thought it would be great after our notoriously muddy one but turns out I didn’t find it any easier. Tbf it was VERY cold too.

Glad to hear that spring is springing at home Sybilw. Those country paths look a delight to run on . The clocks have just gone forward here so it must be spring.

Hope you’re still enjoying the views and recovering from your knock. It’s 3 weeks before the change here. Didn’t know there was such a difference.

Yes the first year we skied here, we didn’t realise and wondered why the mountain restaurant was closed when we got there. Luckily we didn’t miss the last chairlift home!

Beautiful! It’s great to be outside today.

Indeed it is. I ran 5k then we walked another 5k for lunch. The only rain was when we were eating so wins all round!!

Isn't it great to be a runner when you've got lovely places to go 😊😊

SybilwGraduate10 in reply toBuddy34

It is although I confess this picture doesn’t tell the whole story. We may be rural but this particular section of this path runs a few feet from a major road!! Lies, damned lies and pictures apparently!! 🤣

It's still beautiful to see 😊

I couldn’t resist the photo although I did resist stopping running to take it!! Still have Sarah in my head urging me to keep going! 😆

I’m amazed at how much I see despite the fact I’m ‘running’. Must be embracing my inner 🐌😆
