Decided to get up and go this morning. After a very busy week I felt tired but I wanted to run. Did my 5 minute warm up walk on my usual route but noticed it was getting muddy and muddier. I realised the farmer had been out in his huge tractor and the road was was absolutely covered in soft squelchy mud so I didn’t think it would be safe to run there. So I decided on a different route. One that I’d done before but didn’t really like as it goes past the petrol depo so is busy with big trucks etc. However there was nothing else for it I had to go that way. So 2 k in I am running on a busy road with no pavement thankfully it’s only for about 1/2 k but it seemed to take a long time to get past the depo and the trucks. Then I went on through the car park and down to the river. Over the big bridge and on for about another 200 yds to make sure I’d complete W8 r2. Once I’d turned for home back up the small hill and then it’s time to walk again it was a hard run but I’m so pleased I’ve done it Not sure when I’ll get out for the final run of W8 but maybe next weekend.
Happy mudfree running ( unless you like mud) 🤣🤣
