There has been so much rain recently that even when the weather has been sunny I haven't wanted to go across the fields as the paths are waterlogged. This morning my husband decided he needed a run so I had the incentive to get out of the door.
It was warm ( for the time of year 
) around 8 or 9C and the wind was behind us. Mr Y has had some issues which stopped him running recently so we didn't want to go too far, just 3km or so. It was good to be out.
We followed our normal route. Lately there have been sheep in the first field we come to but they didn't seem to be there. We speculated that they may have ended up as Christmas dinners.
The route was as muddy as I'd anticipated, so had to do a bit of unplanned Jeffing (good idea that) as I really didn't fancy going head over heels, it was that slippery. We turned back after 1.5 km and I decided to run along the other side of the sheep field (you guessed, another attempt at a pi run of 3.14 km) to make up the distance.
My husband called, 'Look, ship'. If we lived anywhere else this would be a bit odd, but the field lies parallel to the river and at high tide we can see masts. I looked, but didn't see anything. I asked where the ship was. I forgot, he has a very slight accent which is all but imperceptible apart from a few words. When our eldest was a baby my Mum went on a cruise and he drew a lovely picture of her on a sheep after Daddy told him where she was. You guessed it, the sheep were hiding in a different part of the field. Silly me. You can just about see them at the top right of the field in the picture.
(I didn't manage to hit 3,14 km, it jumped to 3.15 before I could hit stop on the NRC app).
Longest run, parkrun PB, then.....?
