Weak 8 Run 3

[Couch2couch]

Being close to the Southwell Trail, I did a there and back run. I quite enjoy this kind of run, as before you know what's happening, it's halfway and you are on the way back. Not this time. I thought Michael had gone for his post - breakfast nap, and abandoned me to to run all the way to Southwell and on to Newark.

Eventually he piped up and mumbled something about how great I was doing, and if it was all the same with me, how about turning around. For all he knew I could have been in the middle of nowhere.

The few flies that I had managed not to swallow on the outward run lay in wait to be eaten on the way back.

The nettles had added another few feet in length to catch my shins so by the time I arrived back, bathed in sweat and bird sh!t I took no notice of Michaels praise.

Anyway, it's done. And I enjoyed it.

Love this post - think I ate a few flies this morning myself (extra protein, as my dad likes to say...).

Thank you! Guess what - I'm looking at park runs. But round here they seem to be on Saturdays. Besides. Running is for me and the flies - not a shared experience.
