Week 6: Run 3

[Maddee_6333]

Drove to one of my usual routes in a thick mist, parked the car, did my 5 minute warm up by walking across a field in slightly less thick mist, then started my 25 minute run just after going through the gate into the woods. I couldn’t have timed it better. So, of course, the dog had to take a comfort break (his third 🙄) 30 seconds later 🤦‍♀️

Paused the app and started again.

Honestly? It felt like I was running up hill the whole way. Which actually, I think I was for the most part, but just gentle incline after gentle incline.

Went straight ahead at a crossroads of paths where I’d normally turn left to head down to the village and continued on through the woodland.

My aim was to keep running until the 20 minute marker then choose a random ‘thing’ to turn around at and head back the same way. Which worked very nicely even after some (4?) unplanned hill intervals due to Merlin dropping his toy and leaving it behind in the bushes.

I thought I’d turned a tracking app on, but it appears I didn’t, so have a picture of the random tree I chose as my turning point, instead.

Thanks!

I actually do know where mine gets his pee from as he’s on pills that require he has LOADS of water with them 😝

Yours looks very cute.

Looks lovely. Hills are somewhere in my future agenda, but not with a peeing dog, however loveable. 😂

Your dog is the spit of my Alfie..😊😊

And probably about half the size 🤣

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

What yours or mine? Alf is tall for the breed, really long legs..all others we see are way smaller than him! 🤣

[Maddee_6333 Graduate in reply to Polly2810]

Mine. He’s very diminutive for a GSP and only weighs 17kg.
