New running route 😝

Decided to try running around the streets in town as opposed to my usual river run. Big mistake.

A) felt conscious of people in cars and passers by looking at me

B) had to avoid dog poo πŸ’©

C) had to stop to cross roads

Going back to the river with ducks πŸ¦† and swans. Don’t mind them looking at me 😊

I don't like crossing roads!! It messes up my running timing intervals sometimes!!!!

Yeah that’s exactly what it did! But I had Sarah Millican telling me how great I was doing even though I was standing still 🀣

Always best to be comfortable in one's running environment.

Rivers, duck and swans.......sounds good to me.

I know what you mean. I have switched to a main road for every other run due to failing light in the evenings. I'm convinced everyone passing knows me. In fact they probably don't even notice us, it's all in our minds...
