Cow to 5k?

[CBDB]

Quick morning 30min mojo-rific run through wet grass, some navigating of puddles, feeling the squishy-ness of my new shoes, and alongside a long stretch next to a field being followed by a young calf curious enough to jog the stretch with me.

I was glad there was a fence inbetween us, but it was so cute how she trotted beside me, stopping when I was trying to take a picture (not succeeding very well), and keeping up with me again until I tried taking another picture 😃🤣.

Cow to 5k!

Happy running everyone!

That gave me a great mental image of lots of cows with headphones in saying "oh I do like listening to Daisy on the app, she's so encouraging...

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Blackberrypie]

😂😂😃 who says we are the only species needing to learn to run! 🤣🤣

I suppose it helped with the moo-d? 🐄

How cozy to have a running companion!

I'm not scared of cows, but I have to admit that when they a group of runaway cows blocked the road a few years ago when walking through the fields, I did not feel like crawling between them to continue my route! Luckily some folks came and herded them back into their field.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah, they were behind a field, but one full of young and curious and excited cows. 🐄🐄🐄

Aaw - I love your calf companion. 😄I once had a random stoat gallop beside me for a few metres!!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

Calf companion! Nice alliteration! What is a stoat?

[Elfe5 60minGraduate in reply to CBDB]

A stoat is similar to a weasel... slightly bigger & ginger colour with a black tipped tail- in winter they change to having a white coat, but the black tail tip remains - then they’re called an ermine.I must say I did a double & triple take when it appeared and raced along beside me – a very unexpected running companion. 😄

That sounds great fun,

[Newbie59]

I can't help but wonder, where was its mum??

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Newbie59]

And there were about 20 of young cows with no parents in sight. Not sure? It might be a farming practice to leave them in a field by themselves?

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Brilliant 5k, sounds like fun running with cows they are so inquisitive 😂 Happy running 🤗

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thank you! They were certainly inquisitive. It doesn’t come out in the picture but they were certainly untested in me the runner! 🐄😃

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10]

😂 love it!! Love how you're still bouncing in those shoes too!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Yup! A bit of a squishy bounce, due to rain, but definitely a bounce.😃😃😃

🤣🤣🤣👍🏽

[Doris8 Graduate10]

So cute 🥰 hope your new shoes all cleaned up well😀

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Doris8]

🤣🤣 they came out of that run through wet grass pretty clean. For them it was the equivalent of a car wash! 🤣🤣

[PandaCory Graduate10]

It's nice to have a wee bovine buddy! There's a herd of young ones in a field near me and they're the same - whenever I run past they run alongside 😁🐄. (That stretch of path has been labelled Cow Poo Sprint by Strava 😆😆).

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to PandaCory]

🤣🤣😃😃love „bovine buddy“ and „cow poo sprint“ 🐄👍🏽🏃🏽‍♀️

[PandaCory Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

The cow poo part is often true. The sprint part (for me), not so much 😅😅😅

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to PandaCory]

🤣🤣

[Rowers Graduate10]

I'd have been glad of the fence!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Rowers]

I was 😉
