Consolidation Run - Every Day is a School Day!

Today I thought I would shake things up a little and try a new running route- I would head to the old railway line nearby and Laura and I would do our thing there. I learned some important new things.

1. I can accelerate pretty quickly when a tall man appears out of the fog with his large dog.

2. I breathe more loudly than the frantic cries of approaching cyclists pedalling towards me from behind.

3. Railway lines are not flat ☹️

But I did it - I managed 30 minutes, hot, sweaty and nerves jangling. Off to recover! Happy running people 🙂

Ha ha you’ve just made me laugh, I find that my heavy feet on the tarmac sometimes make more noise than my music 🤣🤣. But I still love it!

Ah yes, about flatness: I think I remember that trains can do a 6% grade. Doesn’t sound much but of course they can go on doing it for a long, long time. 🤣 We have disused rail beds around here & some of them have a really steady grade <puff, puff> 🤣
