Week 4 Run 3 interrupted by horse

I was on the home stretch when I heard a very loud runner overtaking me which turned out to be a horse - I think it would say at a very slow trot. I stopped traffic while the owner chased after and caught it - so I had a 10 mins unscheduled and welcome stop waving at cars - anyone else got some good excuses for failing a run? Will re-do it tomorrow. Cheers all

Brilliant- he obviously knew you were running away with a pocket full of carrots! 😀

Ha, that horse must have racing aspirations, saw you as a challenge😄..

Nice of you to do your bit, and glad it all ended well. Plus you get an extra run banked in your legs😉xx

Just wait until you have finished the programme and you can overtake a horse like I did a couple of weeks ago! And it was a big one. Only walking slowly though (the horse, not me).
