Getting ready to go out the door this morning only to discover my beloved Aftershokz needed recharging ๐ a little worried I might struggle without some form of distraction I set off anyway and decided to try out my favourite trail for first time in ages (itโs been too muddy and impassable in places). Apart from a few deep muddy patches that required tackling the bank and verges to pass near the start, it was fine. I was so pleased as I realised, as my mind drifted off in every direction, that one of the ways I classify my various run routes is not only by terrain, how busy will it be, do I want hills etc. But by how happy it makes me and this trail makes me very ๐. Fields, sheep, track, views over Weald if Kent, farms, wildlife, village, home. It is not the easiest route but it is rewarding - especially the last 1k downhill! Happy Easter running ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆฅ

Your chosen trail sounds a great way to run into Easter and the start of Spring. Did you miss the aftershox distractions?

Absolute bliss ๐ฅฐ. I often run silent on the trails as sounds of nature are so soothing, plus I feel the need to concentrate more on the terrain. Itโs amazing where the mind wanders off to though. I do all sorts from composing shopping lists to poems, both of which I instantly forget once home โบ๏ธ You keep yourself amused for miles ๐

Great that you enjoyed this trail run so much! Sometimes itโs good to run without headphones. You feel completely different, donโt you?
