I was taken by the idea of RED January (sorry, can’t remember whose post I read), so I’ve decided to start with 2km every day. It’s doing wonders for my mental health. Even in new trail shoes, the mud was too much though. I gave up and turned tail part way down the towpath, because it was more of a boggy mire than a path. New CLEAN shoes are now a distant memory. I think they used to be black…
… can’t quite remember.
Great idea Baddie - at least you got out today. I only managed 15 mins of an excruciating hill today but I am congratulating myself for getting off the sofa! Good luck with RED!!! 💪🏃♀️
That’s some muddy track but we’ll done for doing RED January
Mud, mud, mud, glorious mud, but not to run in even on good trail shoes, that photo reminds me of a short part of my regular 5K route around the loch near to where I live, I have to slow down or go a short diversion through some trees, happy New Year to you BaddieThePirate. 😊 🏃🏾
Does anyone make running wellies?
I did think I’d be better off running in my wellybobs.
My shoes are currently in the washing machine. It was quite muddy on some of the paths round the lake this afternoon.
I don’t have a washing machine. Sigh.
I am full of admiration for the tow path runners, those near us look like that murky swamp. Good luck with Red January.
Looks just like the woods right now. My last 2 runs (in shorts) have resulted in legs splattered with mud. I think the shower trap now needs unblocking!😁
My trail shoes used to be blue, I think...
Eew! good on you for getting out there in that! Baddie 👍
Well done & good luck for RED January! I was full of good intentions to do it too - went out for New Year's Day lunch after a negative lateral flow test, went for a run after & felt totally fine, then 3 hours later felt a bit rough (cough, headache etc.). Tested positive next morning, so now in 10 days isolation. Amazed by how quickly it took over. So - good luck again - I'll have another go in February hopefully (& I missed my 2 year runniversary as well 😫🤒).
Aw, bad luck. It does seem to be a matter of when, not if, now. Hope you are better soon.
Thanks!
Squelch, squirch, squelch, squirch, squelch, squirch… Nothing quite like it 🤣
That’s exactly how it went!
Just reminds me of ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen 😁
That looks like part of out parkrun!!
Sand and mud 
Glorious New 10k Route
10k People, puddles, dogs and mud! 🤣
