Well I did it!!🙅🏻‍♀️🎉🤪

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 ‘mornings’ from other runners! It was so much more enjoyable than running on the treadmill. The only difficult part was the heat! Wow!🥵🥵

Here is my fave pic on the walk back after my run 🏃🏻‍♀️.☺️

Very well done and welcome to the great outdoors! This heat won’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. 😊

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 😊

Brilliant - each to their own, but I am very much an outsid, all-weathers runner! And yes, most folk are very supportive and friendly!😀👍

I haven’t returned to the treadmill since running outside. Well done and what a lovely pic - you don’t see that in the gym
