I am in belgium since yesterday and today i went out running in the afternoon. The weather is amazing. 20 degrees with a blue sky. I am lucky.

I am very proud i took my gear along. Of course i sort of ran and walked some because i kept stopping to take pictures. To enjoy the scenery as well. Or i used it as an excuse to skive a little? I am currently in a bit of the old me style: don't have a lot of discipline!! Thought i'd share this with you all here so that i feel bad to do it again!

I ran on bicycle and.pedestrian routes amongst huge old trees with autumn colours... by the canal with ducks ... absolutely lovely!

I love driving down roads that look like the path in the photo... really must find one to run.

Who wouldn’t stop and take photos? You can get back to non-stop back home. Keep having fun out there.

Yes me too! And to RUN on one??? I also took pics by the canal. That was also amazing. But i can't find how to post more than one picture...

I wanted to really absorb the moment and the beauty! I suppose that if it means i don't reach my next goals as soon... so be it. I don't want to pressure myself too much. And you're right. Whrn i get back i can go back to the rhythmic runs. Thank you.

Oh me too! The colours are so vibrant and warm. You see the best sunsets this time of year too. A lot of complicated patterns in the sky. Love it.

Thank you!!! I was listening to a podcast and i paused it after a while. It was more fitting to enjoy it in silence. So on my next run i might find some music befitting this atmosphere or nothing at all. And that will be a first!!
