Oh my word, what fun!!
Willow stayed home in the warm and Jo and I decided to attempt hill sprints, well thatโs a ๐ so we decided to just run, to the top of the downs, through the woods, round the fields back through the woods.
Dark grey clouds were in front of us as we marched upwards for our warm up walk with the sun on our backs and sparkling on the sea.
The little dog shouting hello excitedly to every dog we saw, arrived at the track and time to run, itโs steep so little steps very slow, walk a bit run a bit, evens out along the top so run although the track is narrow so not fast, through the woods, marvel at the trees, the views, just the best.
We didnโt have a route exactly, we just meandered this way and that slowly, taking in the beauty around us, stopping to take photos every so often.
And then back down hill, oh fun ๐คฉ and funny, Jo had pulled ahead on the downward stretch until it flattened out a bit so I took a deep breath and sprinted, wow,
Hills, trails, woods and beautiful views, yes!! thatโs why I run!
Keep running keep resting keep laughing and the rest will sort itself out
Oh and Iโve found out how to do negative splits, up hill on the way, flattish along the top and downhill on the way back ๐ 5k took us almost an hour but was the very best 5k ever
