What a beautiful bank holiday weekend up in the Lake District. Up and out early Saturday morning in the glorious cool early sunshine and a slow and steady 7K running along the Morecambe bay estuary with Coniston Old Man in the background. 😊

Bank holiday Monday trot round a shorter route with my Son this morning, 4K at very slightly faster pace (yes HE did go round again while I did my cool down walk back).

Happy Long weekend 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Downside of running with my phone - unfortunately not ☹️

I have been doing a lot of photography on the hoof with my phone - lots of blurry shots and wonky horizons but have managed some nice pictures that at least capture the memory!

You’re absolutely right it is a a good way to make a keepsake but just realised I’d said ‘with’ my phone, I meant without 🤪 Have been going with just my watch and headphones , leaving my phone behind but next time might well take it along for a memory opportunity! X

Ah, that makes sense now. Just watch and headphones sounds lovely and free, but I do like having my comfort blanket along for the ride (and the music).

Lovely part of the world there. Climbed Coniston Old Man many moons ago now

It is lovely. Thanks. Really enjoyed Saturday’s longer gentle one but yesterday’s short sharp one was a bit fast (running beside youthful legs) 🤣
