W8 Done in the Sun 😊🌞

The odd mishap along the way this morning - failed to notice the renewed puddles in The Dip so had to run with soggy left shoe. ☹️ And the moat beyond The Bridge has become a sticky quagmire so had to loop round a rather tussocky field track, but got there and home in the end. 😄 One week to go, I hope!

Am becoming a total Drama Queen about every little ache in case it’s a sign of injury! 😂 Still, I think it must be a good sign to realise I’ve started giving names to parts of my regular route.

Trundle on happily (and safely!) everyone. 👏🏼

Well done! I know what you mean about injuries... I've pre-emptively got in the queue for physio at work just in case! I. Am. Finishing. This. Programme!

[Couchpotato2 Graduate]

Yep, same here, ooh I have a slight ache in my foot, oh is that rubbing? I think my sock is not quite right, that might lead to something (sock faffage...). Not long now!

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

Ohhh. You’ve been eavesdropping. 😂 Not forgetting: My laces are too loose/tight/tangled. 😄 We will make it!

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

Oh yes I forgot about laces. Bring back velcro!

Great work Granspeed ⭐️ Naming my landmarks works for me too 😄

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Now obsessing over whether to go for a new route next week (I’m running out of paths, literally) or whether that might be a jinx.... 😂

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

No, just a whole new opportunity ! Map out your whole region 😂

Well done on getting this far. I'm wondering exactly the same for week 8. Do I stick to known territory where I basically know where I am in my run by where I am, or do I move to new territory? The dilemmas we have to cope with...

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to orcadia]

Hard life, right? 😂 Good luck.

Bloomin tussocks.

Well done. Wet feet are not nice 💧

Except at the beach. If it’s warm. 🌴
