Not a spelling mistake! Not normally a morning runner today for the third time in the programme I jumped( well ok crawled) out of bed at 645 am and went for run 3 week 7. It went well and I took the hill route(left not right) again. AND I saw a deer running down the road ahead of me!When I lived in the Highlands this was not unusual but here....very rare!So an added bonus.Onwards to week 8! Happy running everyone!

How lovely. I once saw a muntjac run out of my neighbour's garden, across the road and into a garden on the other side. That was surprising I can tell you, since we live in a reasonably large town :)

Good innit! Running free with the wildlife. Makes you feel happy to be out doesn't it.

Keep up the good work!

You should have given chase, if the author of Born to Run is to be believed.
