Long road trip of 9 hours plus today, husband driving. Why am I finding myself imagining running 5k or 10k chunks of road? What have I become?? πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£

πŸ˜ƒ Have you noticed when you walk along a road now you can tell how flat/up/downhill it is?

Lol! Love it. πŸ˜„

I quite often imagine cycling a beautiful road that we are driving along, but I haven’t started doing that for running quite yet! If we are out walking I certainly spot parts of path that I would like to run along. πŸ˜„

Haha. πŸ˜‚ Not done it on roads yet but I have found myself looking at paths/canals/parks when I’m out and about and thinking that they would be good (ie flat!) to run along. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

5k always looks such a long way on a map! Been plotting some routes locally and can't believe how far it is!

Yes I often say now that is like to run a lovely flat shady path or road!! 😎

I agree Ang, it does look a long way! I think I’ll always look at roads and tracks in a different light now! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£
