It was going to be the long run of the week today but the tail end of my coldvid is still hanging around like a bad (lack of) smell. I’m feeling mostly ok apart from my nose running like a tap. I decided a leisurely 5k with added tissues was the best way forward. It was a tough one. I’d totally forgotten I’d been gardening most of yesterday afternoon which involved a lot of squatting. My goodness I could feel that going up the hills. It was overcast and a bit miserable. There was a whole section of uphill I hadn’t realised would be there. Still, I did it and it was good to tick it off the plan. Sometimes there’s something satisfying about a “get it done” run. I’ve done a double load of stretches and it’s bath time next.
On the way back, I took a longer route for the cool down walk. I was really lucky to spot two deer much closer than I usually see them. I wished I’d had my proper camera and not just my phone!

Thank you! It did feel like a pretty sweet wildlife spot after a what felt like quite a tough run. A reward from the universe is a very nice way to look at it!
What a fantastic photo 🥰🥰 it must've felt quite magical 😊 well done on that 5k! 👏👏👏 Like you say, there's a special kind of satisfaction in completing a particularly tough run 💪 Hope your quads are feeling better!
Thank you! The legs are on the way back. Thinking about it, last week was a very light on the activity week so I shouldn’t have been surprised to be a bit achey after so much crouching down. Will be interesting to see how I feel tomorrow!
Thank you! Definitely on the mend now. My nose has almost dried up. We’ve got a lot of local wildlife but this was a special spot.Tomorrow is supposed to be a run day but I might take an extra recovery day. Who knows, if it’s a run there might even be some stags or fawns to keep me company!
