Had a great run this morning, first for a week, what with an ear problem and travelling back to UK, very happy to be home! The sun was shining, a lovely day for a run along the river Cam. Nearly came a cropper when my jacket which was tied around my waist suddenly slipped down to my knees, would have thought my hips were big enough to stop that happening!
A first! I overtook another runner today! Silly girl was running next to me on the path and veered across in front of me. I was so cross I put my foot down and burned her off!
I turned a corner and found a herd of curious cows, they all came over to have a look at me, didn't expect to find that just outside Cambridge centre!
EDIT - I should have added these are on common land, there are no fields or farms in central Cambridge

You and me both (re the shouting hello to farm animals). When I pass the field with sheep and lamb I shout "morning ladies and babies"; I'm convinced they like that.
Did you run past the Travelodge on Newmarket Rd this morning around 07:30? If so I might have seen you I was stuck at the start of a endless road of traffic lights
I like the Cam, we do the Dragon Boat there every September.
Aww, gotta love a bit of wildlife on the run. Makes it all a bit magic, I think.
tsk, what a dope that girl. Good that you taught her a lesson! Talking about which, did you see the post a little further down the forum about someone running around on the outskirts of Cambridge being overtaken by a "swishy ponytail" with her nose in the air? A coincidence, I'm sure.
Welcome back to Blighty, Curly. Overtaking is a wonderful feeling isn't it (not that I've experienced it that often!) Think I'd have broken the 4minute Mile if I'd come face to face with a herd of cows, I'm terrified of 'em. Scary incident in childhood. Don't ask. Oh no, now I'm thinking about it. *Deep breaths! Don't think about the cows!!!*
Nice post Curly and a lovely pic too! The hips don't lie you know. Well done getting a sprint on like that, sometimes people need to be shown what we're made of x
Lovely to see you back CG. I missed your posts. Well done on overtaking that little hussy. She deserved it taking on a C25K'er like that! Honestly!
Your piccie reminds me of a joke:
Two cows are in a field chewing grass. One says to the other,"are you worried about this foot and mouth disease?". The other cow says, "no why should I? I'm a duck".
