Bring me sunshine, bring me joy....

Well today’s run done. Did a longer distance than I expected but felt ok. Wind was trying to conquer all again today, but it didn’t win!!

Decided to go down a farm track I’d been down a couple of runs ago, bad idea! Pretty much wading through the mud 😂 I carried on non the less!

It took me a lifetime to get in to the swing of it this morning, but I did eventually.

It’s very interesting trying to run with massive clumps of mud on each trainer and “kick” them off and keep running! 😂 got them off in the end.

Cool down walk was very much appreciated. Sun just coming up 🌥⛅️🌤☀️. It’s going to be a good day.

Just nee to hose myself down of all that mud!

Thanks all.

Blimey Dave now that’s what I call a run ! Well done and no cow pats on the running shoes 👟 I know what farm tracks are like when I take my dog for a walk. Great start to a lovely sunny day ☀️

Oh just read that! That’s brilliant. I love a good poem, and so true!! I think trying to run through 2ft of snow is probably too far for me 😂

Well done on ur run and the distance. all that mud are u sure it not trying out for the race for life muddy run already lol

[Hidden in reply to Happyrunningfeet]

😂 I was almost crawling around on my hands and knees a few times too! Very slippery in places.

[Happyrunningfeet Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Oòops. But u survived and got a good time and distance.

[Hidden in reply to Happyrunningfeet]

👍😊 yup. Not sure how one of those muddy runs would actually go 😬😬

[Happyrunningfeet Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I'm dreading to think about it. It will give me thoughts and doubts I don't need. So I'll bypass that thought and just go for it.

[Hidden in reply to Happyrunningfeet]

Yeah! Absolutely. Just enjoy it. When is it? Even more so as mud is supposed to be good for your skin 😎 and running makes if all feel great.

[Happyrunningfeet Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I'm looking at may/June dates. Need to register I'm trying to get my sister to join me but my niece is a definate... it will probably be June thou as one of the other people on here mentioned about running for MIND in may. So I'll Definately be doing that one as it's a charity that means a lot to me.

[Hidden in reply to Happyrunningfeet]

Ahh so fingers crossed it will be warm-ish too. Yeah a good charity to support, we don’t get enough light shone on mental health in the U.K.

Exactly and when I was at my lowest they saw me within 2 weeks and the counsellor was great she helped me through a lot that was going on.. id have had to wait about 6-8weeks if I'd have used the one in my area. More needs to be done and if the government can't help with the funding and services the best thing we can do as a nation is to help contribute ourselves to the ones that do provide it..

Agreed
