🍏 Greetings from Canada

[Annieapple]

🇨🇦1:1 we arrived in Calgary yesterday after a 9hr20min flight. First priority with the family’s help, was a walk to check out a local running route.

Awoke this morning & decided as it’s Wednesday it’s time to run! After a 5min warm up walk, I took off slowly and ran at a gentle 🐌 pace for 25 mins & then a 5min faster 🏃‍♀️ to end off. It was easy and felt good! 😃

I realised 3 things!

Don’t underestimate the fitness you have built up previously. You can do it!

The importance of discipline & sticking to your schedule where possible.

The joy of running can be enjoyed anywhere & helps to set ones body clock in a different time zone!

You will see the Rocky Mountains in the distance in the photo. Sunshiny and a warm 13 deg. Perfect for my first run 🏃‍♀️😆

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations on that great run in Calgary, nice running in Canada, that photo is really beautiful with the Rocky Mountains in the distance, it reminds me of when I was in Bavaria seeing the Bavarian Alps in the distance.

[Annieapple Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Have a fantastic holiday, and enjoy the time with your family.

I loved running when we were away recently, the change of scenery was energising. My usual routes at home seem a bit dull now!

[Annieapple Graduate in reply to Sallysensibleshoes]

Thanks Sally! Best bit is being with family😊

[Couchfunky Graduate]

Thanks you are so right😊

[Elfe5 Graduate]

That’s wonderful! 😄

We just missed you! - Mr E & I have just flown home from Calgary after gallivanting in Canada. Have a wonderful trip. 😄

PS If you are still in Calgary, running downtown by the river is good - that’s where we went.

[Annieapple Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Sorry we missed you!!! 🤣

Oh it’s amazing down there and will definitely do that one. 😃 Hope you not too jet lagged. 🇨🇦 is a fab place for a holiday ✈️

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

“Half seas under” definitely!! 😂

About to go out and do W2 R1 - getting going after a loooong spell on the IC. Have a wonderful trip & many good adventures. 😄

[LeeU Graduate]

Enjoy Canada, not been there yet but there's still time.

Glad you got to stretch your legs a little and get out for a run.

[Annieapple Graduate in reply to LeeU]

Very scenic country & pristine! Friendly & helpful to tourists! 🇨🇦
