Mud, glorious mud!

And

Climb every mountain

I did my first 5k fun run today and wasn't quite prepared for how muddy and hilly it was going to be! About 1.5k in I realised my target time was probably not achievable, as I slid about trying to avoid overhanging branches.

I'm quite chuffed I was just 2 mins outside my target since everyone agreed it was a bit further than 5k (Although that could've been the amount of weaving to avoid the mud!), the yucky conditions underfoot and that at 137m it was the largest elevation I've ever run - at least according to Run Keeper.

Few days off running I think while my legs recover and my shoes dry out!

It's a different run when you're slipping and sliding, let alone dodging! 😉
