Enjoyable run 🏃‍♀️

So I went out with my 14 year old daughter and dog today to try and run some of the lovely walk we did on Sunday through the wheat fields. It truly was awesome. We ran just because we could, managed 5.4k running of an 8.5k route. Chuffed to bits!!!

Thank you to those who inspired me to try a ‘see what happens kinda run’

Turns out country runs are my thing. Feel so blessed to find this route practically on my doorstep and never knew it was there. It is an actual public footpath.

You are all amazing 😉 thank you.

Thank you. It’s great to feel excited about running again. Can’t wait to go out again. Maybe walk today and look for the next fun route.

My ‘normal route’ is road and laps round the heath pond. Think I was becoming too focused on my pace, time etc etc. It took all the fun out of it.

Thank you, first time that I’ve actually enjoyed the run whilst doing it. We saw cows, deer and a pretty river too. Think having company made it extra special too.

Fantastic. Seeing a deer was the absolute highlight of my running. Great that you are enjoying it.

Thank you, it is so nice going out with her, I have never asked her to come running with me. I was doing all the runs on my own. She then started asking if she can come too. Bonus for me plus less screen time for her 👍🏻😂
