7K on the trails (plus a few sheep…!🐏🐑🐏🏃‍♀️🙂)

[Sandraj39]

A beautiful day, so like Instructor57 , I could not less this one pass. Off late morning for a run on the local trails. I ran a little further today but kept my pace slow👍. Can’t lie, I did find this run tough in places - the terrain perhaps, a little undulating in places too, who knows?🤷‍♀️ It was however, very beautiful, as you can see from the photos - spring sunshine replacing the overcast conditions we have had for the past few days. And sheep of course, plenty of sheep! They always make me smile!😄🐑🐏

Well done Sandraj39 that looks like a lovely route to run. 😍 I want to do more trail running this year. I think Chichester Parkrun is off-road so I might do that to start off with. 🤔 For me, the hardest part with trail runs is ignoring your pace when you’re used to road running! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Your right David - definitely slower…but worth it!🌳🙂🐏

That sounds like a wonderful run. Lovely photos. I'm a bit jealous being able to see sheep as it's very arable round my area. Any lambs?

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to dijep]

Not yet but I suspect pretty soon.🙂

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Excellent!Definitely too nice to miss today 😁

Love the pictures, looks like a great trail run .

Well done !

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Just super... very well done you!

It was a lovely morning this morning...You did so well... and 7K too... trail running can be testing, but you obviously enjoyed it !

It as a day good to miss... I got out there.. too !

Beautiful photographs x

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Yes, testing in places but I took care - walked up part of a hill because I was SO slow, walking was probably quicker! 🐢🤣 I enjoyed taking some pics too!📷🙂

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Ha ha.. I almost walked the last bit of my run this morning... I sort of mumbled up the hill!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

…mumbled!🤣

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Sandraj39]

A sort of cross between a scramble, a struggle, a stumble and a moan ? I finished going up the hill! Duh!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

I absolutely “mumble” up hills!🤣

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

that sounds a lovely run  Sandraj39 . You’ve definitely got to get out on such a lovely day. I’m really pleased I volunteered at parkrun yesterday so I ran RunWalkLocal today in the sun. ☀️

Just think there will be lambs with those sheep soon.

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy5 - I’ve not heard of RunWalkLocal? Are you doing a post?🙂

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

This link is the last time I did it on 5 February. I was really pleased with a 33.03 PB today, and hope to work towards a sub 33 again.

The link doesn’t work so just click on my avatar and see my previous post.

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Will do!👍

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

What a great run. Gorgeous scenery and blue skies. 😍🏃‍♀️☀️

I‘ve quite recently started running more trails and I’ve been amazed how much harder it can be on the old legs. I haven’t had aches and pains like I’ve had after a train run since I was doing the early weeks of c25k! It must be the terrain working everything harder to stay upright compared with a road!

Hopefully there’ll be lambs soon!

[davelinks Graduate10]

Well done! Nice weather and pics today.The Parkrun I do has dips and hollows, pot holes,tree roots, and cow's! so always have to watch out and keep well away from the cow's, I shout horse raddish! as I pass them and they stay where they are, it can also work with sheep if mint sauce is uttered..😁😉

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

🤣🤣

[Roxdog Graduate10]

That looks and sounds just perfect! It is inspiring! I plan to run again tomorrow, without tracking!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

Good luck - enjoy!🙂

[Dendev75 Graduate10]

That looks a beautiful place to run 😍

[Folkylass Administrator]

Well done Sandraj39 on you great trail run and of course beautiful pictures. It’s so grand isn’t it when you can explore terrains like this and as for the sheep they do make us smile and I much prefer them to cows 😂😂😂

[skysue16 Graduate10]

I agree, the weather yesterday definitely made it a ‘run day’ 😀☀️ I also hit the trails 🐶🐾😊

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Looks gorgeous! I’m promising myself that in the summer I’m going to drive up the mountain and try some trail running!🏃🏻‍♀️⛰️🐌

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10]

Looks lovely! I am trying trail running on these Welsh hills. There are a few lambs about here.... early so stay here please sun!
