No coffee run

[Yesletsgo]

With all the travel and new places we are seeing we haven't done much running but today we made the effort. And what an effort it felt.

Although I'd been awake a while I'd been reading the paper etc on the phone so when my husband woke up it was all 'faster, faster, the day has half gone already!' No time for a coffee apparently.

We are currently moored in a marina sited in a disused gravel pit. It's idyllic, birdsong, trees, peace and quiet. Unfortunately it seems to be surrounded by working pits as the forest is mostly fenced off. We set off and found a road which quickly became a path with fields and horses on one side and a very serene lake on the other. Beautiful.

I was slow, my legs felt like lead probably due to lack of hydration (and caffeine) but the scenery made up for it. I did 4km then it was back to the boat to finally have that coffee, and an egg for breakfast. But only one egg - because as we all know, one egg is un oeuf

We had egg muffins for breakfast at home this morning and I made exactly the same joke! It’s got to be done! 😂🥚🍳

Wonderful run. It’s hard without the caffeine when you’re used to it. I bet that coffee tasted extra good when you got back!

Irresistible lol 😂

I was so dopey when I was making the coffee that I managed to spill half of it on the floor, what a terrible waste!!

The old jokes are the best YLG! Sounds as though you’re having a lovely time exploring the waterways and running spots!

Sounds lovely 😊 It is so nice to explore new places on a run isn’t it?

Absolutely, it's great to head into the relatively unknown
