Up early for a morning run before breakfast. Weโre holidaying in North Yorkshire, just at the start of the Yorkshire Moors. The weather has been kinder than the forecast and Dabby-dot and I have a beautiful place to run her C25K. Itโs rather hillier than sheโs used to, but sheโs coping brilliantly although she had a few stern words for the lovely Laura on the app as she reached the top of her final hill at the end of the last run section. Iโm so proud of her. ๐
It is doing me good to rerun it alongside my daughter. As I give her advice and encouragement, I find I am thinking about my technique and how I tackle hills etc.
The photos are from our run. We saw deer, sheep, bulls, horses, beautiful views and a hilarious parade of chickens scuttling down the hill as we neared our holiday cottage.
Well done you and Dabby Dot. My son is still asleep after the football last night. Luckily we ran yesterday, he rightly realised today should be a rest day ๐๐๐
Looks like you may be somewhere near my home Delly-dot.. the Cinder Track (old railway line) from Scarborough to Whitby is a great place to run mid-week (lots of cyclists at weekends so not quite so good then)..๐
I was thinking of the cinder track! Went on it near Whitby when I stayed at my friends holiday cottage there! Wasn't running then and want to run it now!!!
Weโre a few miles east of Thirsk. We lived in North Yorkshire years ago (pre children) so itโs lovely to share some of our favourite places with them and catch up with old friends while we are here. Iโm not sure how close we are to The Cinder Track but think itโll be further east from where we are. ๐
Ah yes, you are on the opposite side of the moors.. the cinder track is more or less parallel to the Cleveland Way, so itโs possible to do some lovely loops going one way along the cliffs and returning along the track.. (mostly walking for me!) - maybe your next holiday.. ๐You have more than enough fabulous runs to explore around Thirsk.. such a big and beautiful county... enjoy! ๐
The Cleveland Way runs parallel to the track that we ran this morning, but itโs a little bit further up the hill. We will try it later in the week ๐
I reckon you must be not far off a hundred miles via the Cleveland Way from the coastal section of it nearest to me.. I don't know if it's all as challenging, but I'd love to find out.. a bit at a time.. maybe we will devote a whole walking holiday to it sometime.. I would be interested to read if you post about it later in the week.
Sounds absolutely idyllic, what a fantastic area to continue on your C25K journey with your daughter ๐ well done, hope the weather holds for the rest of your holiday! ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฎ๐๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ฅฐ
We had the best of todayโs weather this morning. It has been torrential rain this afternoon. We battened down the hatches and played card and board games indoors!
Oh we were in Helmsley this morning and had our picnic in the rain! Itโs so beautiful there and we would have liked to have wandered for longer, but we had to give in and head back to the dry, for board games and cards at our holiday cottage. Helmsley is only a few miles away so weโll get back. We are loving revisiting old haunts and sharing them with our children, having moved away from here 20 years ago.
Well done the dots! How lovely to be able to show your children some of your favourite places. We did that with my nephews when they were little and theyโre now doing the same with their own children! Youโve started a trend! Enjoy your holiday.
Looks like a nice scenery to run in! And while having fun too, the best!
