Decisions, Decisions ? Which lake to run. If in doubt do both (while waiting for gas man) obviously. Am I going bonkers ?

My running routine is up the spout with future house move. But managed to run round my 2 new lakes. In total about 3 and 1/2 K in about 22 minutes. Included about 100 metres of a the pesky hill. About 11 in morning yesterday so very quite. didn't break any records but at least managed to get some running in.

Had to wait for Gas Engineer to call at new house so took advantage to run round my 2 new lakes. On left is brookvale about 1.6 K lap which is more populated. On right at bottom of my hill is Witton Lakes about 1K lap for the larger part if go over bridge . This is less populated with wider pavement and also part of a grassy area to run on in parts

When got phone call he said parking is murder round here. It's not really he didn't come down the road where he should have parked anyway I said "I wouldn't know I just ran here" He looked puzzled and probably thought I was bonkers !!

I ran a lot faster than he sorted out my Gas ! Felt a bit like a kid at Christmas with my 2 new lakes. Can't wait to move to my new house in couple of weeks. Not for the new house but my lovely new running lakes. Have more of an audience. Perhaps will have to ditch the "Baggy Pants" and get some new gear. Perhaps even get my knobbly knees out !

Perhaps this running has sent me bonkers !!
