Still in bed ?

Still in bed, thinking of running, well trust me it’s a glorious morning out there. Lovely sunny warm morning, perfect for running. So what are you waiting for ? 😂

Only had time for 6k this morning, but certainly glad I got out of bed and didn’t go back to sleep which was my initial thought this morning !

I was up at 4:15 this morning to go to a dawn chorus event being staged by the parish council at 5. Normally, the only time that I’m up that early is when I’m off on a skiing holiday. It was a novel start to the day and I’ve attached a photo from it.

Arrived home about 6:15 and had part 2 of my breakfast. With almost two hours until I needed to set off for ParkRun, I spent the time browsing through various things on my phone. With hindsight, I should have gone back to bed for an hour or so.

Not birds.

Wow that really was an early start. Mind you, I bet it was really nice out there at that time, looks great in the photo. Well done on the very early start and on doing park run afterwards !

Thanks Ant. It was good, however, there's no way I'm going to make a habit of getting up at that time!

415!!!!! When I first read your post SM I thought it was the birdy dawn chorus that woke you 😂

Gorgeous photo. I love that early morning mistiness 😍

Something else that I appreciated was the (almost) complete lack of traffic.

The horses seemed very interested in my right arm. No idea why. I turned away when one of them looked like it was about to try nibbling at one of my sandals.

Probably just the shock of seeing people at that time and expecting some extra food !
