An eventful run

[Lifluf]

Woke up this morning feeling slightly rough and headachy but decided I'd see if I could run my aches and pains off as the cold wind had dropped.

So I thought I'd try a slightly new route which runs along a small patch of fen and wood.

However I'd barely rounded the corner when I turned round to see Pitta the puppy had escaped. Looking frightened (as usual) but wanting to come too. I thought the gate was puppy proof!

Took her home and continued but when I got to the fenland some idiot had put electric fencing across the footpath 😡 - 3 times 😡. I fell over it on the third crossing 😏but luckily not electrocuted and fence ok. Then I had the challenge of a couple of stiles which were surrounded by nettles reaching for my bare legs 🥵.

Finally nearly home and bumped into a neighbour with her grandson who she is minding as their new baby arrived this morning so had to stop for a chat.

All in all not a smooth run, rubbish time but actually a lovely pretty route with virtually no road running so I'll probably try it again soon 🙂🙃🙂.

Well done Lifluf! Sounds like a very adventurous run! Things never quite go to plan, do they 😆. Hope your headache’s feeling a bit better and you blew some cobwebs out. 👏🏼🏃‍♀️👍

Cured the headache nicely thanks. Much better than taking painkillers.

Sounds more like an assault course than a run!! Glad you didn't get electrocuted!!

Actually that's quite a good description 🤣🤣. I could feel the electric buzz but luckily it wasn't too strong.

⚡Gosh Lifluf! Houdini puppy and fences that are out to get you - eventful indeed. I'm glad to read you arrived home safe! Hopefully next time the route will be a little less fraught!

Thanks Delly-dot. At least the puppy won't escape because we've made the gate more secure. I think I might report the electric fences to the council if they're still there next time.
