New Home, New Quests , Brum Lakeland but Pesky Hill !

3 Replies

Running been going great doing nearly 6K now but not done Friday run so making do with 2 runs per week. Partly due to moving home, only couple of miles down the road.

But I will still be near a lake (photo attached). In fact near 2 lakes. Everyone in Birmingham lives near a lake didn't you know ! But I have to go up and down a hill. In fact the clue is in the name Marsh Hill. If I turn left at bottom of hill (about half a kilometre from new home) There is a lake and if I turn right there is another lake. would you believe I am moving nearer to Spaghetti Junction !

I will miss my old lake where I hardly meet anyone these lakes are more populated so no hiding or excuses for getting photos. Already planning future runs this lake is twice as big 1.6K and on concrete surface.

See most posting here making great progress. Despite packing and all hassle of moving still hope to keep up at least 2 runs a week and when settled in to new home make more progress.

Happy running all.

A new area! That's so exciting and you can explore the new nooks and crannies. That lake looks beautiful and so lovely to run around. Enjoy and good luck in the new home.

Looks good, Joe, happy running :)
