The ButtercupKid 5K trail

[AlMorr]

This photo is part of the 5K route that I ran when doing C25K. I have named it The ButtercupKid 5K trail

Looks lovely, I'm sure ButtercupKid will be suitably impressed.

My first attempt of posting photos to this site, I took 3 photos but I could only post one at a time, if BCK wishes to see the other two, I'll post them on separately as BCK trail 2/3.

That’s beautiful - thanks, AlMorr. Honoured to have a part in your running journey x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

I took 3 photos but the little photo icon disappeared after I pressed the send photo , I could only send one, if you wish to see the other two I'll send them separately entitled BCK 5K trail. 2 and 3.

You could check to see if your phone can create a collage of your pictures, then you can send that.

Then again, they would be smaller, and we would not be able to see just how lovely that area is.

Gorgeous 😊

I do have a collage at the moment of 27 photos on my phone, you are correct in saying if there was a way of posting more than one then the photo would be smaller. As time goes by and where I run, outside the area I live in I'll take a photo if it's scenic, the photo's I took today are very close to where I live, that was the route I ran most before I graduated from C25K, however, since I retired when I was 60 from a gardening job, I have always gone somewhere on a Monday, for example this week it was Stirling, I reran week 2 along the Walkway beside the River Forth. I ran week 5 run 3 around Linthgow Loch last May on a Monday, my graduation run also on a Monday 18 June was run along the promenade at Helensburgh 25 miles from where I live.

If I do any runs on a Monday I will take a photo if it's a nice day telling you where it is. This brand new Smartphone I have is pretty good for taking pictures.

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

That sounds like a great way to record your runs, and save them with a memory 😊

ButtercupKid, are you interested on possibly going to N. Ireland at the Giants Causeway to meet Irish John and others from C25K in possibly October next year 2020?

I have replied to John that I might go, but I don't want to be the only person in Scotland to be there , if you are interested or definitely won't be going I doubt if I would go alone.

Regards Alan.

It’s a lovely thought, but not something I’d be able to do. My husband and sons are all disabled in various ways and so I have a lot of commitments; also, I’ve been out of work for three years now, so there’s no spare money for getting away at all. Thanks for the invitation though.

I’m sure you’d enjoy it though. Why not post to ask who is actually going ? There’s bound to be some Scots amongst the crowd. No need to feel shy xx

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Thanks for the nice reply BCK, I understand your situation, I have plenty of time to think about it and see if anyone else in Scotland are interested in going. 😊

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Hope you find some buddies to go with. Sounds like an interesting trip 😀

What a beautiful place to run, and now it has a beautiful name too!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Tartancat]

Indeed Tartancat, I call it "The ButtercupKid 5K trail", the water you see with the swans is called Broadwood Loch, that's in Cumbernauld, 12 miles north east of Glasgow.

[Tartancat Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

A beautiful part of the world. My mum recently moved to Falkirk, so I'm beginning to get to know that area. Love it!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Tartancat]

I know Falkirk very well, there is a Parkrun held there in Callander Park on a Saturday morning.

[Ang33333 Graduate]

That's lovely. I love running by water.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

Yes it is Ang33333 running or walking around a lake/Loch, its so near to where I live, only need to run or walk to it, no need to travel by bus. 😊 When I was taking the photos this morning I saw about 12 other runners going around the Loch. 😊 🏃

[Ang33333 Graduate]

Am very jealous!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

I am sure you have a favourite run near to where you live that is a bit like the above photo, not necessary a lake but somewhere nice.

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Not as nice as yours!

[Tonkabella]

Beautiful 😊🏃🏽‍♀️

[Fabulous450 Graduate]
