Running like a hippo...

[Gabby08]

...in more ways than one! Mud, mud, glorious mud and not another soul in sight this evening. I'm hooked 😆

[Madge50 Graduate]

There's a track just like that near where I live.......can't go round it, can't go under it......😂

I even have mud in my eyebrows! 😂

[poppypug Graduate]

Ha ha !

Love it , Well done Gabby ! xxx

[Gabby08 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

I dread to think what I must have looked like; I suspect I have a rear view like a Jackson Pollock canvas!

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Gabby08]

Ha ha ! Could be worse ! xxx

[Gabby08 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

That's true! It wasn't pretty even before the mud splatters lol 😂

And this is just the summer..........wait until winter comes around, junkie!!

Keep running, keep smiling.

[Gabby08 Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

I hadn't thought that far ahead! Might have to change my route...

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Perfect!!!! I love mud... and rain... and wind.... and cold...

It is so good for you... well done you!!!!!

[Gabby08 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I'm all for mud and rain but wind and cold sound a bit daunting 😬

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Gabby08]

It is simply that in the UK... we often do not have a choice.. so, we just learn to love them

[Gabby08 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Good point! I might need to invest in an outer layer and a hat! This shorts and t-shirt combo is only going to get me so far...

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Gabby08]

Shorts... wow I am impressed...by shorts only appear if I am where folk don't know me !

Yes... I graduated the winter of 2015! Wet, wild and windy!!! And that was just me

We find out who the tough runners on, when they keep posting right through the year!! x

[Gabby08 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Funnily enough, I never see another soul so the shorts are not a problem. So far this week, my only company has been a pair of mallards and a hare (all significantly faster than me!)

[misswobble Graduate]

Cor, I could run that now. I have a field just like that near me but with about six stiles to cross first 😃

It's fun int it! Who knew ey 😃 Just go really slowly. You don't want to hurt yourself and spoil your fun!

[Gabby08 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

The mud has definitely slowed me down even further...and I was far from speedy to begin with. Reckon I'll be going backwards by winter 😂

[misswobble Graduate]

You won't! Don't worry 🙂
