Is this why we run?

Iโ€™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. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป Happy days!

Itโ€™s great, isnโ€™t it? I love a country lane/track. Yours looks lovely ๐Ÿ˜Š

It is but can get muddy. I know where the likely spots are though by now. ๐Ÿ˜†

That looks like perfect running surroundings ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Thereโ€™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 ๐Ÿคฃ

Yep, it's certainly one of the top reasons for me! Beautiful! ๐Ÿ˜

Looks lovely. My track degenerates into mud bath half way along, but yours looks perfect. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

I turned round to avoid a muddle (mud/puddle!) earlier in the run!! Iโ€™ve learned by my mistakes ๐Ÿ˜†

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 didnโ€™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 youโ€™re still enjoying the views and recovering from your knock. Itโ€™s 3 weeks before the change here. Didnโ€™t know there was such a difference.

Yes the first year we skied here, we didnโ€™t realise and wondered why the mountain restaurant was closed when we got there. Luckily we didnโ€™t miss the last chairlift home!

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 ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

SybilwGraduate10 in reply to Buddy34

It is although I confess this picture doesnโ€™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!! ๐Ÿคฃ

It's still beautiful to see ๐Ÿ˜Š

I couldnโ€™t resist the photo although I did resist stopping running to take it!! Still have Sarah in my head urging me to keep going! ๐Ÿ˜†

Iโ€™m amazed at how much I see despite the fact Iโ€™m โ€˜runningโ€™. Must be embracing my inner ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ˜†
