Wow early morning run for this one and I am a sitting here feeling amazing after completing it!

I have come up to Cumbria to form my 'bubble' with my parents and thought I'd get a run in the beautiful countryside. It was soooo much more up and down than I'm used to but it felt like a proper run.....and I did it! Just over 5km in the 30mins and a lot of sheep dodging on route 🤣🏃‍♂️🐑🎉

Happy Sunday everyone 😊

Inspirational. I absolutely love this part of the world and really good that you did this on an unfamiliar course. Enjoy your running in your new bubble🏃🏃🐑🐑

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Allbarron]

It is a lovely place and so quiet. Its fantastic to run with no cars about.

Thank you, I will 😊

[Issywhizz Graduate]

Wow! Well done! Two runs left, you must be so happy. And how glorious to be able to run in such beautiful countryside 🏃‍♀️🌈

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Issywhizz]

I know, I really didn't think I would make it to week 9 so I am so pleased.

It is definitely the best place to run, sheep and all 😁🤣

[SweatyHettie Graduate]

Wow, one of my favourite places- I’d probably run like I am when I drive up there - huffing and puffing ! I’ve turned into a soft southerner in my old age- it always surprises me how much I have to use the gears when I go back up !😂 what a beautiful place for your final week’s running- enjoy! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏔

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to SweatyHettie]

Hahaha yes, the gears actually get used up here and the deep breaths of air are filled with cow and sheep 🤣

It's a great place to finish the programme 😊

What a view! Congratulations!

[Runbird Graduate]

Looks lovely! If only I could say the same. We have had a weekend of east coast haar so all I had for my 8am run was a misty drizzle but it was certainly quieter

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Runbird]

I've not heard of a East Coast haar? Lol. What's that?

Well done for doing the run still though 😊

[Runbird Graduate in reply to Brunsamarathon]

That ghastly sea fog sitting right across the east coast of the country on all the weather forecasts. Humid air over a cold sea. Horrible. I have sat on a hill in the sun and watched it roll in below me!

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Runbird]

Oh wow, it sounds quite something to see though. To be able to sit and watch...love that's sort of thing😊

[Gannet1 Graduate]

Wow, that looks stunning! 😀 What a beautiful place! Just remember IannodeTruffe’s words, “hills are your friends, they build stamina”.😄 Enjoy! 👍🏃‍♀️🐢

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Gannet1]

Hahaha that will be a hard one to keep in mind but very true.

I found the fog helped on this run because I couldn't see the extent of the hill I was running up 🤣
