My first run of week 8 was considerably brightened up when I came upon this wild Christmas tree in the wood! I’ve been pavement bound in the darkness for so long that it was a real treat for dog and I to get out round the wood - and this just fair made me smile!!!
Happy runnings everyone!😁
What a lovely thing to come across, well done for keeping running the woods look wet and muddy but a great place to run
I know! I’m still smiling about it now! It’s just so lovely to get out after working all daylight hours in the office and running in the dark, slow going in the mud but dog loves it! Think it will be back to the pavements for the remainder of the runs, just to be in the safe side!
Happy runnings you guys 😁👍
Exactly, it’s great to run in daylight on days off even when it’s cold and damp, but roll on spring I’m looking forward to run in the evenings more after work
Me too👍
Oh that’s so lovely and what a fun surprise!
Isn’t it! Would love to know who did it so can say thanks! Sure it’s brightening up lots of dog walkers/runners days! 😁
maybe you can do something further along the route if you have some stuff left? Or put a note on the tree... Anyway it's really nice of them
Not a bad idea - i’ll peg a wee xmas card on it when we’re up at the weekend👍
Nice! That will be great
Great photo of that Spruce 🎄 tree with the Christmas decorations on it, believe it or not, last year when I ran, run 3 of week 7 in June, I passed a Spruce tree 🎄 decorated with Christmas decorations, no one who passed that tree knew or could understand why whoever decorated that tree did it, very strange indeed.
🤣 yes I can believe it! There was another young tree decorated the wood about 11 years ago (our first xmas here) but nobody undecorated it and it kept its deccies on for a good few years! It wasn’t quite as tastefully done as this one so we presumed it’d been kids... wonder if the original tree decorator has visited the wood in adulthood?!!
Lovely! But who on earth put it there?!
No idea! So far as we know it’s the only one this year!
How lovely for someone to decorate a tree in the middle of the woods. It's the little things that can make you smile. Great running 😊😊
That's brilliant. Nice to have a bit of fun on your run 🏃♀️🏝
Definitely, especially on a soggy grey day👍
How lovely 😁
What motivates you when the running gets tough?
Two things I've discovered I don't like when running
Running out of the dumps
The joy of early morning running
Do you find running harder in the cold?
