Ankle, calf and magic plan

[SueAppleRun]

I just love days off

Then we couldn’t work out what to do, we weren’t sure we wanted to run 11 times round our track, it’s been really busy there lately....so I started looking up places to walk, after some discussion about whether we would run or just go for a walk Willow said he liked where we went along the river.... and some running could happen

It’s beautiful, it’s warm but not hot, it’s a bit uneven so we went slow enough to enjoy the scenery,

“there’s a couple of bulls over there and no fences” says Willow, oh dear city boy, they were miles away, on we ran, until i turned my right ankle on a lumpy bit which yanked my left calf which is ok but not completely healed

Then i hobbled a bit, at 2.75k we turned, and after a bit more hobbling we gently slowly ran back, it was magic being out this morning

Very slow and took loads of photos, but we covered the required 5.5k plus some for walking

Have a great day whether you run or not

Brings a smile to my chops!! Love it. 5.5k done 👏👏👏👏

Willows concern over the bulls made me giggle, It always makes me realize how different we are, city boy and farm girl, it really shouldn’t work but it’s perfect

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

This 👏👏👏👏

Six lovely photos, glad you enjoyed your run apart from the bit you had to hobble at 2.75K, good day for a run as well, the weather forecast for tomorrow is ☔ rain.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

It’s a lovely place for a long run, there and back rather than round and round

Great run and beautiful photos. I'm glad you ankle is okay. 🤗🤗

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

Ankle’s fine thanks Buddy, the calf is still a bit sore though, may have a couple of days without running now

Oh what fabulous photos. I love seeing where everyone runs... it’s like a running tour of the world. Hope that ankle is ok 🤞 too. Great distance and I am with you on the bulls! I would have been running in opposite direction 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Wimborne]

Thanks, ha ha I think most of them were cows, it was too far to be sure, When i was a child there was the most beautiful bull on another farm that we were allowed to stroke, he had cream ruffled hair and a huge ring round his nose, don’t think Willow has been very close to cows or bulls

[Wimborne in reply to SueAppleRun]

Oh that’s a lovely memory. I’d still run though.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Wimborne]

I probably would too if they were closer 😂

[CBDB Graduate10]

Looks great! Ankle doesn’t sound so great, but what a nice place to walk and/or run! Great choice!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to CBDB]

Ankle is fine thanks, calf needs rest though

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

What beautiful photos 🙂 no wonder you enjoyed it so much.

Hope the ankle is ok 😩

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Irishprincess]

It’s lovely there thank you, calf is sore but although ankle hurt when i turned it there is no pain now

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Well done! 5.5k in the bag😁

What a beautiful place to run, the photos are lovely

Glad the ankle is ok. Rest up and get that calf sorted

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Thank you, i’m fine running on the flat but so love to run along the river just have to go really slow, I think we’ve decided on the magic plan the shorter runs can be on our usual track and faster then our longer runs along the river and if we walk a bit in the middle at least we are covering the distance

[Birdlady64 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Sounds like a perfect plan 👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

It is beautiful indeed!! 😁😁 I am highly likely to have said the same as Willow about the bulls 😳...! I wouldn’t want to upset them, 😂! Hope your ankle is ok 🤗.

Looks and sounds like a perfect place to run 🤩! Well done!! 😁😁❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fabulous450]

It is a lovely place to run slowly and enjoy the view, mind you after rain it will be back on flat tarmac for us, I’d hate to slide in the river and in winter the part we ran on today will be under water a lot

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Ah well great that you can enjoy it before it’s out of bounds!! 🤩❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Tide was going out today and the river was dropping fast, i’m pleased that Willow loves it there too, i do start to get bored going round and round a half kilometre track sometimes

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Yes, I agree with you!! 😉 I have a lovely little park nearby, but I go for my long run elsewhere where I can really enjoy seeing more of a variety!! 😁❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fabulous450]

I like that the track is uneven because although i usually come back hobbling a bit we go slow enough to have a proper look round

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Fantastic W&S! What great photos too and I’m glad that Willow enjoyed it. I’m always cautious around bulls (they wouldn’t have 2 in one field surely? 😳) and I even keep cows at arm’s length. They’re gentle souls, but every so often they “go off on one”! I used to keep my horses on a farm - I’ve seen them in action!

Take care on that uneven ground. You know that already! I hope your ankle and calf are ok.

Keep running and keep having fun! 🏃‍♀️🏃😀

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you, they were cows and were 2 fields away so I felt quite safe 😀

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Ahh 2 fields away makes a big difference! 🐄 😀

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

It’s the city boy in him, he was worried he couldn’t see fences but there was a river and hedge 😀

[MoliJ Graduate10]

Having been chased by young bullocks in my youth and reading recently about 2 people being attacked by cows I share Willow’s concerns about the bulls and I am not a city girl. Love the pictures x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MoliJ]

Thank you

[dijep Graduate10]

Looks a lovely place to run or walk, sorry you hurt your ankle though hope it's OK x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dijep]

I’m doing ok thanks, ankle is fine and i’ve strapped the calf ready for work later x
