Nice bird

[MartinKH]

Got off the IC today to have a gentle cycle to and around a nearby country park. It looks like to great spot for future runs when I’m recovered.

I took a photo of some cattle 🐄 in a field, and a bird 🦅 flew right across as I was taking the picture. You can see it right in the middle of the shot.

Hope everyone is enjoying your running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ Please stay hydrated 💦 ☀️😎

Great you got out on your bike and its gave you some ideas for run routes, win win. Always something trying to be centre of attention when you're trying to take a photo 🤣🦅.

Great weather today🌞🌞🚴‍♂️

Thanks Buddy34, this place is only a 15 minute cycle 🚲 away.

It might be a good place to re-start running as and when I’m fit because the surfaces are a bit more knee friendly than my usual pavement pounding. At least for the transition back to running.

Well done on your hot weather run today.

Great photo, I hope it won't be too long before you are back running, I am glad that you enjoyed your bike ride today.

Thank you very much Al, yes it was great to get on on the bike today.

It’s the next best thing to going for a run.

I’ve got a video appointment with a physio this Saturday morning, arranged via my local GP. That’ll be interesting and we’ll see where we go from there with ongoing recovery.

Hope all well with you , and happy running.

Great photo, bird looks as large as the cattle🤣 so nice to have a country park to run round. Just opened a bottle of prosecco in the sunshine to celebrate our house move, not sure that counts but I have been drinking copious amounts of non alcoholic beverages all day. Hope you're soon back to happy running 🤗

[MartinKH Graduate10]

Thanks Grannyhugs, it does look like a large bird and if you’re able to zoom in a little you’ll see by the shape of the wings it looks like some sort of bird of prey 🦅

Enjoy your prosecco, you’ve got lots to celebrate 🎉 with the house move and all those PB’s lately.

Thanks too for your good wishes on my recovery.

Take care and happy running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️👍

That's an awesome picture! Great you are able to cycle and keep that knee going. Hope that it feels a little better every day. Plenty to come from you when you get back mate and we all can't wait to follow your adventures.

Cheers GTFC, thanks very much.

I’m definitely looking forward to getting back. In the meantime, I’m just trying to do the right things to help recovery.

Hope your knees are ok, and happy running 🏃‍♂️ 👍

Fantastic photo Martin. 😍 I love it when nature does its thing. 👍

Thanks for the hydration reminder. Now it’s getting warmer it’s even more important but also very easy to forget. I definitely didn’t drink enough yesterday ...... 🥵

Stay safe, and happy running. 🏃🏃🏃

[MartinKH Graduate10]

Thank you very much cheeky 🙏

Nature did it’s thing again about half an hour later. I was sitting by the beautiful river bank having some fruit and enjoying the scenery when I noticed quite a strong smell of cow or horse 💩.

10 mins later I was getting up, and I noticed the aforementioned strong smell of 💩 was actually on the sole of my trainer. I must have stepped on it whilst taking the photo. Oops 😬
