Birthday run with cake 🎂

[Sandie1961]

The Eymet Social Running Club meets on Sunday mornings to do a 7-10k run. This week it’s my birthday, so they asked me if I’d like to pick a route around the area where we have our house. Shake-and-run and I went out on Monday to recce the route which links together parts of various different routes I usually run on my own, to make a circular route. We started off running up to the restaurant for fantastic views over the vineyards to Bergerac, along the ridge to Monbazillac, a welcome downhill stretch, then onto a trail through the vineyards. Up the hill to the road, down a farm track and then the final uphill push across ‘our’ vineyard back to the house, where Mr S awaited with iced water, Bucks Fizz, coffee, birthday cake kindly baked by Shakes and a raspberry tart from our wonderful bakery. Garmin let me down badly though, only recording 6.89k when the person I was running with recorded 9.28 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Still, a lovely run with a great bunch of people. Only one more week, then we’re heading back to Blighty ☹️

Thank you 😊 Been here 6 weeks and really not ready to go back, but we have run out of days (thank you Brexit ☹️)

Happy birthday 🥳 Sandie1961 ! What a smashing way to celebrate 🎉. That looks just fab, well done. That Mr. Garmin needs to go on the naughty step though 😁.

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Definitely! It missed out a whole loop 😭

That sounds lovely, a social running club is the kind of socialising I could get on board with. Happy Birthday!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Liono]

Thank you 😊 It’s challenging but not in a competitive way, so perfect as far asI’m concerned 😃

[Liono in reply to Sandie1961]

It sounds great fun, I wish there was one local to me!

[Shake-and-run Graduate10]

It was a lovely run, got a bit warm towards the end. Mr S. was an excellent host/butler and I’m glad the cake was alright.

Joyeux anniversaire encore une fois ! 🎂🎉

Only another week? Damn. I'm got stuff to do here until next weekend so won't be on the road for a little while yet.

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

Wretched 90/180 Brexit rules. Had a month in Spain so have run out of time 🥲

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Can't possibly "like" this post Sandie1961 as you've confirmed what I feared. Make the most of the rest of your stay!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

Thank you. It does feel much too early!

[Katnap Graduate10]

Sounds like a perfect birthday to me Sandie, and much easier to get up those hills if you know there’s bubbles and cake at the end. Enjoy your last week.

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I absolutely agree!

[Hedgehogs123 Graduate10]
