Found a new route

Not so pretty but quiet roads and the circle is almost 2k

And that’s all we ran, enough for a saturday morning when it’s a day off, it’s a place Willow said he’s happy to run again and that we could always go round twice or more times, still not far from home if I want to run a bit further, I keep thinking I’ve slowed down but when I look back over the last year I was never fast and it’s about the same .

Happy weekend runners and heal well if you are on the IC

It looks quite industrial from the satellite picture. All pavements?

Yes all pavements which i like I have got fed up running round and round the park and last time a small dog leap at me barking even though i was a long way away from where it was with its owner and dropped to a walk

Quiet is good even if not so pretty! Although your multicoloured route looks pretty in itself. Well done 👏🏼.

It’s ok if we vary it, trails across the downs are stunning but too tough to go every time

I live at the Winchester end of the South Downs and I couldn’t imagine running onto it! Just the thought makes my eyes water 😆.

We run very slowly and walk some but it’s lovely up there, we are on the coast

A change is as good as a rest 👍I could do with more routes 🤔

Sometimes i just run out the door if Willow doesn’t want to run and it’s lovely going up and down different roads round here

Instructor57Graduate10 in reply toSueAppleRun

My usual route is straight out of the door, walk 5 mins then run 😁👍

Nice to find a new running route even if it is around an industrial area, not so busy as a park where wild dogs run hopeing to bite the first runner in site. you might want to make that a regular route for your runs.

We are thinking of it, Willow has been resistant to running round the streets so a quiet rout is a good introduction, it sure beats the park

It’s a lovely sunny day here but still chilly out of the sun 🌞.. I like your cheeky run .. I’m looking forward to getting out there again maybe on Monday when I think my pesky calf has healed .. have s good weekend.. slow us good ! 😃

Hope your calf is soon healed, take it easy when you do run, I had a niggle in a calf last year and after a few kilometres I could feel it again so kept to short runs and as soon as i felt it walked the rest and one day it didn’t hurt at all so i kept going and ended up at 10k which was very exciting

Even if it’s not as pretty as others it’s still good to find a 2K route!

I love the confidence in your post - I remember when "just 2k" was a major achievement. 😆 There's nothing like a new route to keep things interesting. Go Team Snail as well - we rock!!!! 🥳🏃‍♀️💃🤸‍♀️

Felt like it this morning, I wasn’t sure why it was so hard but i was starting a cold and now feel lousy so i’m pleased we got out even if only for a little while

I’ve had a sore throat, might be something doing the rounds 🙄. A run is a run so well done for getting out there 👍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduate in reply toCouchphoenix

Thanks, it’s been doing the rounds very slowly at work but not too many people have it, thank goodness for masks and hand sanitiser

One of the (few) benefits of Lockdown...forced me to look for new routes “from home” 😉
