If he won’t run he can walk

I ran yesterday and wanted to go again today, I had a bit of a think and asked Willow if he fancied a walk on the Downs. He drove so I said you choose and he parked near the cemetery. I was a bit surprised 😮 as it’s the steepest path to the top.

It was beautiful, so we walked up for 15 minutes and round a bit so we walked down for almost 15 minutes, Running has made such a difference, I can march to the top without stopping. I used to stop every few yards to catch my breath.

I can’t describe the views so posting a photo from the top.

Willow really enjoyed his walk so that’s what we’ll do on rest days

Be happy all

How lovely!

I was thinking of you this morning as well, when running down a hill.

I used to tentatively walk that hill down slowly, interrupting my running, being aware of my sensitive knees. Now I continue running down that hill. I remembered we chatted about going up and down hills on this forum, the first time I noticed that improvement.

Running keeps on giving.

It certainly does keep on giving, when we got back to the car I had 2 minutes to go so I ran like mad down the road bit and Willow met me at the bottom in the car, I’d forgotten why I was running for half hour and 3k’s though then remembered the challenge so out for a run tomorrow

That is a very beautiful photo Sola, I am glad that you can walk/march* up that hill without stopping, I am happy that Willow also enjoyed the walk.

*using the word march sounds as if it was some kind of route march. 😊

It was a perfect day for a hill walk, might wear trail shoes next time though, the tracks are narrow and uneven

Thanks Brian, I do feel bossy, but we can’t have me running a slow 10k and him with a zimmer frame now can we? hell slow down if he doesn’t get out and walk up hills,

Wow what amazing views and the weather looks like it was behaving for your trip.

I went up the hill with views this morning while walking the dog, all I could see was rain on the way 🌧️
