Happy Global Running Day! 🌐

Didn't manage the 5km I was hoping for today but quite chuffed with my 4km, especially as I tried out a new trail in my local woods which was a bit trickier than I thought. I had to cross a stream and then scramble up a steep bank and had to slow down and walk for that. First attempt at a run this morning was cut short after about 5 minutes because my poor friend fell and hurt her ankle quite badly so had to abandon mission! So, hope everyone else is enjoying their runs, with no trips, injuries or obstacles getting in your way! 🌐 🏃🥉

Me too! Poor thing. We're supposed to be running our first ever race on Sunday and she is determined to go ahead but I am thinking no, there'll be other races we can do.

Great stuff Debs! I really need to get out into the country... Sounds so much more exciting when you're crossing streams and scrambling up steep banks, rather than running past Jimmy's Fried Chicken and the News and Booze.

That just sounds entirely too tempting of an evening

Fried chicken and a glass of wine...sorted!

I'd be afraid that I would arrive home with some shopping

The stream was not exciting, it was IN MY WAY! Blooming nature... 😅

I love those exploratory runs where you just go down a path to see what's there. :) Even if they do sometimes end up trickery than planned lol. Well done for getting out there and best wishes to your poor friend!
