Week 2, Run 3 - the lovely snack van

[stevecramp]

Well that's week 2 done. Achievement unlocked! Legs fine, shins fine even my dodgy ankle is, well, fine.

I'm definitely going to have to alter my route a little though. Even in these early stages I'm having to turn around twice on my not-so-private road and double back before I get to the end of Laura's instructions. 

There's no other option, I'm going to have to go... beyond the road!

Looking at the map again. If I walk the full length of the access road - over the cattle grid I currently loop back at and up the steep bit - and start activities at the corner of the big reservoir by the lovely snack van, then it's a cool 5K all the way round and, with the cheat of a downhill finish, back to the road.

That's the ultimate goal then, a one none-stop lap!

It seems absolutely unthinkable. I walked around the reservoir once with a fried egg bap and a can of Tizer and it took all afternoon.

Hee hee  your post made me laugh Steve... beyond the road...no!😄

Love that you are enjoying your running adventures....

Just nipping out to put a padlock on that snack van...

Good luck with week 3.

Tizer! I had forgotten about Tizer..

Go you.. to boldly go where no stevecramp has gone before

Sounds wonderful.. which reservoir?

[heavyhorse Graduate]

haha great post! Look forward to your 'I ran all the way round the reservoir' post !

You made me laugh out loud. The image of fried egg butty and can of Tizer tickled me. I admire those of you running outside as I am a strictly indoor runner for now. Once graduated I intend to park run but for now no one else is allowed to see. Well done for going beyond the gate and who knows where you'll end up next x

I'm strictly an indoors person but loving 'the outside' I saw some kind of cuckoo* the other day, stopped mid plod to take it in.

*could've been a pigeon
