It's a sunny β˜€οΈWelsh Wednesday perfect for a run πŸ‘

β€’21 Replies

I was up with a spring in my step....... But the youngest daughters online drum lesson was at 9.30, teeny weeny delay in getting out and I was aware it was warming up outside 😎.

But hey-ho 10.30 almost two whole hours breakfast was ages ago πŸ™„.

The now quiet warm up walk was again quiet. Arriving at my swing bridge I started my Garmin and was off, o e other runner ahead of me in the distance nearly a traffic jam πŸ˜‚. As we both crossed the aqueduct at a safe distance apart he went straight, I opted to loop around and onto the towpath towards Llangollen. It's a familiar section and a lovely surface that given the new quietness everywhere, you can hear the gravel Crunch of trainers perfectly, bit weird though today, I twice I thought I had another runner behind me as πŸ€” my footsteps seemed to be a little behind me, am I running to fast??? Am I breaking the speed of sound haha it gave me something to focus on, as I approached my bridge where I leave the canal and head around on to a downhill lane passing the old water mill (forgot to get a piccie πŸ₯Ί) the lane back towards home is a perfect countryside scene. Bluebells in the hedgerow intermingled with bright yellow dandelion flowers and through the hedge lambs everywhere playing lamb games and bleeting non-stop.

Back across the river using the old stone bridge and the lane rises gradually towards the community centre and then it's just a matter of hauling myself up the little set of steps that are being overgrown by the wild garlic.

And the run is done πŸ‘.

That's a perfect way to kick off a Wednesday ahead of a nightshift.

So go on stop putting it off get yourself out there, fast or slow young or old there's no more excuses πŸ™‚πŸ₯³πŸ‘

Happy running you lot

Isn't it great having all these beautiful places to run and all topped off with brilliant sunshine🌞🌞🌞

in reply to Buddy34

It certainly is Buddy, I'd love to think that the lockdown measures will make people reevaluate what's really important! And people won't be making silly unnecessary car journeys! But we'll see πŸ™„

An online drum lesson!!!! Blimey, you’re brave πŸ™‰ Is that why you went out for a run? πŸ˜‚

Lovely sounding jaunt though and lots of great photos to capture it all πŸ‘πŸƒπŸ™‚

πŸ™‰ she's available for weddings, christenings and Bar mitzvahs free of charge IP πŸ˜‚ luckily the ol Welsh house is over three floors and solid πŸ‘ but errrrr lack of wifi in the designated drum room, means she's taken over the dining room eeeeeeek.....

So ahhhhhhhh that silence that comes from our current great outdoors it's sanctuary πŸ™‚πŸ₯³πŸ™‚
