Hi! Really enjoyed my run this morning! I had a change of route again! I’m so lucky living close to such a beautiful place! I had all sorts of terrain! Muddy forest paths, mud flats where I had to jump over big puddles, sand dunes and a lovely sandy beach! I spotted an egret too for the first time!

Some poor lady got a fright in the car park as she thought I was the attendant in my hi viz jacket!!!

Enjoying this programme so much! Can’t believe it’s my final week next week! But I’ll keep running now!!

Ahh, I am in Scotland too. Snowy, sunny but chilly wind here today so will need a few layers for my run this afternoon. ❄️🌬

I’m originally from Northern Ireland! Just been here 3 years and absolutely love it! I used to walk this route now I’m running it ha ha!

Luckily snow not got down this far! We do get a lot of sun in this part of Scotland but very chilly winds!

Enjoy your run later! Wrap up warm!! 😀 x

Sounds like you have all the ingredients to make the most of your running ability Sara.

Next week is not your final week.............you have only just begun.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Go steady.... beach runs, do put a strain on our calf muscles.. so take it gently!

Yes! Today was a completely different thing altogether ! (I usually run on pavements or gravel paths! ) I was jumping over large puddles on the mud flats and squelching around on muddy paths making sure I didn’t slip!!

That is such a fab view, that would certainly get some good running out of me...

Good luck for your upcoming graduation week
