Run to the sun 😎

This fresh morning air certainly wakes you up and the warm up walk is getting faster! No problem once the trotting begins though 😳

Today I tried my hand at a spot of trail running in my quest for new longer interesting routes. Thanks to a brilliant site i found, plotaroute.com I was able to plan a lovely varied route of road, canal (including aquaduct), riverside nature reserve and a couple of bridges. Apart from damp feet due to the dew it was a great run and one I'll add to my repertoire. Due to terrain and then a music hiatus I did have to slow down (even more than usual before anyone says it πŸ˜‚).

Which brings me on to music..what does everyone use? I've just had a trial on Amazon Prime but it keeps bugging out on me (user error?). At home I use YouTube but not sure how much data that would use on a run?

However by then end of my run I was running into the sun with a big smile on my face. Have a great Friday everyone x

Great stuff! Great run... it sounds very interesting too...loads to see..and damp feet dry...:)

I love those different routes:)

I use Amazon Prime... all my favourites there.. for all weathers and all runs... and all terrains... :) Not sure why it is not working for you πŸ€”

Amazon prime is good, and you get tv, which will have the odd running documentary on, and free postage on all your running gear!

I use Apple Music, many use Spotify. I guess any of the three are perfect unless you have obscure music tastes and then some research may be needed as to which has the stuff you want.

Sounds like a great run you found there.

Thanks unfitnomore, Prime..for runners! I need to spend a bit of time sorting this out as it was awful today when it all went quiet and I was fiddling about with the phone trying not to drop it but needed distraction.

I guess Mr Franklin was correct..by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail πŸ€”

I'm liking the adventurous side to your run, Mr Boniobiscuits would definitely approve ;-)

Music wise, I'm a fan of Apple Music and they have some great playlists :-)

Don't knock it till you've tried it..I have and I'll do it again but only where there's a clear path..no off piste! Is Apple music just for iPhones? I'm an Android gal 😊

It all sounds like fun!

Glad you enjoyed
