A little bit smug this morning 😎

Well, I'm back out in the Cumbrian countryside for the week and wanted to have my long run here. It is a very up and down route that I have done many a time on a horse so new there are some savage hills to face but I had a real 'want' to do the loop today. It's about 7.5km so I set my mind to just getting round and not stopping. I knew some parts wouldn't be pretty though 😂

I am so happy with myself I finished in 46m 20 and even managed to walk the dogs afterwards. Whoop feel like I am making progress 🏃‍♂️👍😊💦

Wow, that sounds amazing!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Brunsamarathon in reply to HappyNoodle]

Thank you 😊 It was a good feeling lol

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Fantastic effort on your hilly run, great time too. Walking the dog after will certainly have stopped you seizing up. Happy running 🤗

[Brunsamarathon in reply to Grannyhugs]

It really did lol!

Thank you 😊

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

You did so well considering some parts were hilly and like me walking the dog after a run is a great way to keep the legs going . 😊🏃‍♀️🐕

[Brunsamarathon in reply to Buddy34]

It really does stop the legs seizing lol...he gets himself ready now when I get back 😂

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Well done - great time for an undulating 7.5k!👍🙂

[Brunsamarathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you 😊

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Brilliant! Those hills in the legs will certainly be all to the good. You'll tear along the next flat one you do!!

[Brunsamarathon]

That's what I'm hoping for lol! I quite like the hills, I'm finding I'm recovering quicker the more hills I incorporate in my runs 😊🏃‍♂️👍

[Gwyrdd 60minGraduate]

You certainly are. Lovely post

[Brunsamarathon in reply to Gwyrdd]

Wow! Well done, that’s amazing. You’ve done so well with all this, you should be super proud!! Well done again, you’re improving so much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Brunsamarathon in reply to Issywhizz]

Aw thank you! I've definitely caught the bug.

How are you doing now with your runs?

[Issywhizz in reply to Brunsamarathon]

You’ve been good making yourself go so much. That’s something I’ve lacked 🙄 I went last week and haven’t had chance again yet. Bit gutted I’ve done so much and now the running has taken a back seat cos of time

[Brunsamarathon in reply to Issywhizz]

It's just how it goes isn't it? I've slacked a bit this week. Been so busy getting ready to open work again that I've only managed one run this week. I'm itching to get out though. We'll get back on track again. 😎🏃‍♂️👍

[Issywhizz in reply to Brunsamarathon]

Yeh sure thing. I went out yesterday, only managed 15 minutes, did 1.5 miles, am finding the hills here tough. I just need to get back into every other day. 😊

[Brunsamarathon in reply to Issywhizz]

I know where you're coming from. I live on top of a hill so no matter what I do I end up with a big hill or two somewhere along the line lol!

1.5 miles is still a good run 👍

I'm going to try my first afternoon run today. Got to take the chance to have a run 🤣 Omg can't believe that's me talking 😂🙈

[Gannet1]

7.5km AND then you walked the dogs! I need a lie down after reading that. 🙌 Amazing stuff B! 🤸‍♂️You must’ve been delighted (and slept really well afterwards 🤣). Go you! 🎵The hills are alive with the sound of a future marathon runner 🎶😊🏃‍♀️🐢

[Brunsamarathon in reply to Gannet1]

Omg long way from marathon 😂

I did sleep like a baby though. I was wiped for a couple of days 🤣😴😂
