Today didn’t go to plan but this evening marched up some hills in the twilight with daughter and dog, the view was worth the walk even though i had somehow paused my garmin so it only recorded the first 9 minutes

Don't you hate it when that happens!

Nice walk anyway and quality time with family of all species is a bonus :-)

Daughter and dog time is always special, and we were both a bit irritable so stomped up that hill about half a mile of it at my average running pace lol,

Walks with daughter and dog are precious. Worth missing a run for anytime. Unfortunately my daughter lives in Ontario ☹️...dog lives with us though 👍

That’s a long way away, i have always had dogs but not now so when daughter and family wanted one i agreed to share so if they want to go away they don’t have to worry

We have had OES for about 20 years. They are very high maintenance (my job, as current one was a bit too lively for Mrs BC to groom as a pup!) we get to spend a couple of weeks in a lakeside cabin with our daughter nearly every year; quality rather than quantity. 😊

Nice march for you, good picture of twilight, about 40 minutes after sunset, looking way out to sea you may have seen the lights on ships or a lighthouse.

We saw a lot of stars and the moon too

New title for a song "RUN me to the moon" or "Stars in your runners eyes"

Excellent choice 👍

I’ve got locking my Garmin down to a fine art now.

When we got to the top of the hill my daughter gave me her phone to use as a torch and i pulled my sleeve down and must have paused it but it doesn’t matter we had such a great walk and hills are good, daughter is 18 years younger than me and i used to puff and wheeze and potter slowly it’s great to be able to keep up with her
