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 ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ‰

Happy Sunday everyone ๐Ÿ˜Š

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 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฃ

Wow, one of my favourite places- Iโ€™d probably run like I am when I drive up there - huffing and puffing ! Iโ€™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 !๐Ÿ˜‚ what a beautiful place for your final weekโ€™s running- enjoy! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ”

Hahaha yes, the gears actually get used up here and the deep breaths of air are filled with cow and sheep ๐Ÿคฃ

It's a great place to finish the programme ๐Ÿ˜Š

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

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

Well done for doing the run still though ๐Ÿ˜Š

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!

Oh wow, it sounds quite something to see though. To be able to sit and watch...love that's sort of thing๐Ÿ˜Š

Wow, that looks stunning! ๐Ÿ˜€ What a beautiful place! Just remember IannodeTruffeโ€™s words, โ€œhills are your friends, they build staminaโ€.๐Ÿ˜„ Enjoy! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿข

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 ๐Ÿคฃ
