Conquered W6R3

Black dog* wouldn't let me go out for days, but this evening I managed to break free for a bit for another attempt at W6R3. Part of the reason was so I could review my Freya! Anyway, listened to some radio comedy, only had to stop for two road crossings, and found some lovely FLAT residential roads, where the grass verges had been cut, so smelled glorious. Plenty of stretches after.

*metaphorical. I have a real black cat, he's less of a problem.

You are incredible! I find nothing settles the soul like fresh air and freshly cut grass...and pine trees, but they're less common. Well done for getting out and being the champion of that run! Xxx

Thank you and SmacktionHero48 for your replies - there were pine cones on the pavements, so they are around too!

Now if I can do some downward-dog tomorrow, instead of staying in with the black dog, that'll be nice. Those black dogs can be b****es, if you'll excuse the bad language/ bad pun.

The only good Black Dog is the song by Led Zeppelin

They don't like running so may leave you alone for a while 8-)

There's one for the running playlist that I haven't got round to making yet! 8-)

Brilliantly done especially with the road test included and you'd been battling the dog too. Well done for getting out and not just trying but doing.

Not what you're looking for?
