I woke this morning to the sound of baby blue-tits on the feeder, for such a tiny bird the noise level, strewth but it's a nice noise, nearly but not quite a tune 🤗.
Teenagers doing school work all's good there, so perhaps sneak a quick impromptu jogette.
The sun's bright, the warmth bearable, and I've got water!! .. Oh and the trainers are tied properly today 😂. The world is beautifully sunny, the silence of locked down Wales is eery at times, today is one of those times!
I don't normally but today 🤔 I stretched pre run, so shutting the gate, Garmin started I'm away, the birds are singing all the way down my lane non stop 🙂.
The canal towpath is totally empty not a soul, and it's a nice 1st klm all the way to the aqueduct. I get a cheerful good morning off one walker and then it's me on own again. Now we've lived in our current home for oooooh 11 yrs this summer. But but but I've never been, down the steps where I went today, little steep rickety steps hard to navigate, but it's worth it, I've found me a new trail for further runs and it's on my doorstep 👍🤓, it's going to need further running but it looks good, it's got gradients of all angles, kind underfoot and more importantly it's got plenty of shade for my skin, big bonus!
The steps, more steps that decend to the river bank omg now that's a calf muscle exercise ( Joe Wicks who?) But at the bottom, the river it's just something to experience, and I don't say it lightly but OH MY GOODNESS, like that's special even worth pausing for longer than normal, the aqueduct rises from the floor just magnificently, showing it's true size and Impressiveness, then to put it in context you've got the daintiest of bluebells and that hypnotic sound of moving water!
Wow !
I've lived here like I said over a decade , do you know what's on your doorstep,
Run happy, run healthy
Explore ( safely)
Teatime trot 🙄
Just a run, some herons and no goats
