Well I did it!!๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿคช

I ran along the canal local to me and I absolutely loved it!!! Everybody was so friendly and smiley and I even got a few โ€˜morningsโ€™ from other runners! It was so much more enjoyable than running on the treadmill. The only difficult part was the heat! Wow!๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿฅต

Here is my fave pic on the walk back after my run ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ.โ˜บ๏ธ

Very well done and welcome to the great outdoors! This heat wonโ€™t last long, hopefully we will have some pleasant temperatures later in the week.

My experience is everyone is very friendly too so good to know you have witnessed the same thing. And those are beautiful birds. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I'm glad you really enjoyed your outdoor run. Now you wouldn't have captured such a beautiful photo on the treadmill. Well done you ๐Ÿ˜Š

Brilliant - each to their own, but I am very much an outsid, all-weathers runner! And yes, most folk are very supportive and friendly!๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘
