Well just got back from the W6R1 and have to say it went well apart from taking a wrong turn in the forest and ending up having a stand off with two Squirrels who refused to let me pass. Had to slow my pace half way through the second run. I felt myself going to fast but another one done πŸ™‚

Yay.... knew you'd smash it! Maybe carry some peanuts next time to bribe your way past the squirrel security!? 😊

I run in the woods and there are lots of (grey) squirrels. They usually keep away but occasionally you can meet a really feisty one that mostly just makes a lot of noise. The real trouble happens when other people feed them.

Congrats on week 6 run 1 btw - that one has a reputation for catching people out.

Happy running πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Well done, another run under your belt. And that despite the best efforts of the squirrels 🐿 🀣

On my last run in some heathland I saw a cat who got really irritated because I scared off a rabbit! I love seeing the wildlife πŸ˜„

Good luck for your next run. Tell us if you get another Gandalf Squirrel saying You Shall Not Pass πŸ˜‚
