When Rock n Roll Dreams Come True!!

Graduation run today. Waited for a break in the downpours and got out there. Water and mud everywhere, swollen rivers and streams. About 3 mins in my Spotify stopped working. Wasn’t enjoying the silence so hit whatever the first playlist saved on my phone was. Meatloaf Bat out of Hell - oh the irony. Plodded on. Flooded roa ahead. Ended up ankle deep in muddy water - refreshing! Now I’m squishing on, sliding through the mud on the off road section. Feeling good despite the branches poking my eyes. Feet abit cold but now I’m embracing the puddles - what the hell! My lace is undone but I don’t want to stop!! Five minutes to go. Meatloaf is on my side! All revved up and no place to go! I did it! Not 5k but 2.5 miles in 30 minutes. A glorious muddy triumph!

Well done Graduate!

There's something weirdly wonderful about splashing through puddles isn't there?

Ha ha. These runs are the best! My son calls me “the old bat out of hell” 😁

Sounds like fun! running to Meatloaf is ace 👍There are lots of watery tunes to go at. My current fave is When the levee Breaks by Zep. Yeah baby 💪👍😃

Well done 🎉 on your muddy run. What was Bat out of Hell like to run to, my favourite LP (showing my age😀) but hadn’t thought to run to it 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I’ve just realised it was Bat out of Hell 2 - still pretty good though. There are some slow ballad-style ones which might not be as pacy as you like. It’s probably not ideal running music due to the complexities of the songs but give it a go - you might like it!

Not what you're looking for?
