Run made harder by 2 protective swans!

[Joy-day]

R5w1 was a very hot run so I made it as late as I could and left around 7.45pm on my usual route along the canel path where I met two swans who were being proctective of their babies, determined not to let them interfere with my run I carried on towards them which resulted with them squaring up to me and a peck on my elbow but I completed my run!! Feeling hugely pleased with myself 😀

Haha this sounds like something straight from my fears. I always get nervous near swans, im not brave like you 😂 well done on still completing it. Show them who's awesome

Nothing was going to stop me completing my run! 😊 Sure you are brave with things I am scared of and doing these runs are making me braver!! Xx

I know what you mean. For me its making me more confident. I thought there was no way I could do it but I can. So who knows what else I can do.

Isnt it an awesome programme

[Joy-day in reply to Aquila12]

Yes, completely amazing, it's all about your mind set and belief in what you can do! Love it xx

I came across two swans on a canal towpath - and decided that I would change my turnaround point before I got to them

[Joy-day in reply to Bazza1234]

I had only just started out and was on my first walk after my first 5 minute run so I really didn't want to have my turnaround then but they are quite big birds so can understand why you would of especially if they are protecting their young!! Going out on a run tonight so hoping I won't run into them again 😁
