New run

First time I run in a totally new place, and with a completely random route , I had fun even crossing roads ;) strangely enough it looks like no one runs in Tullow, this town I am spending the weekend in, or maybe there is some secret place where they all go.

Anyway I've managed 25 minutes, on the road back to where I was before injury!

I love that sense of adventure when you're running somewhere you've never been before. I completely get the 'crossing the road' thing. Great stuff!

Sounds a bit like that Beatles song that goes "oh that magic feeling, nowhere to go...." ("You never give me your money"). I completely get that. Running somewhere new is one of my favourite things to do. It's why, wherever I travel, I always take my kit!
