Eyes bigger than my programme

So I started week 8 this afternoon, wanted a new route so I went exploring, found a path through a woods near by so kept going .. came to a road turned left and figured there would be a path somewhere and do a loop, didn’t realise how far it was and the session ended nowhere near home.

The marker is where the 5 minutes cool down started 😂😂

Exploring new routes is good 😃. I usually finish a-ways from home so I can walk back and stretch myself out

Are you ok after it then? 😃

Sounds like a fun outing! :) I like trying new routes (when I’m in the right frame of mind, at least!), and seeing how they go. :)

Yes, a much loved pet, he has squished himself into an impossible space to balance on my handbag in that photograph! I was admiring your cat too - we used to have one who looked very similar that we have many fond memories of. 😀
