mud!

Did W3R2 today but picked my route badly so there was lots of stiles and mud. I completed the runs okish but they kept getting interrupted by climbing over a stile and trying to run through mud was hard going. I am very slow at the best of times but was worse than usual today! Maybe I will leave that particular route till it gets a bit drier.

same thing happened to me on the weekend - I thought I was being clever avoiding a busy path with lots of kids/prams and took and alternative route. Quite frustrating after a fairly decently paces run to get stuck in inches of mud and have to wade to drier land like a monster from the deep. ah well.

Me too, ankles deep. Gag! I was prancing about trying to avoid mud and puddles but I dare say it's good exercise. Bit heavy on the old trainers though. Still it beats loafing about on the sofa. Let's here it for mud! Yay
