That didn't just happen 🤣.....

Early for a Sunday I know, but I was awake at 5.30am and fancied going for a run 😁

My aim was to incorporate the BIG hill into my run. I've been avoiding it for sooo long but I wanted to give the tip from Issywhizz about zig zagging a pop .....it really does work 😁 More hills for me 👍

But....on my way to said hill, which is a high street through a neighbouring township, I crossed paths with a guy who, by his own admission, was doing the walk of shame 🤣 I managed a 'I hope you social distanced' thinking myself funny only to find he decided to turn around and join me (I think he was still a little drunk 😂)

I kept going thinking he will drop off soon but nooo, he zig zagged halfway up the hill with me. I have to say I was slightly impressed 😎

It was a bit of excitement on my run and kept me chuckling for quite a while afterwards.

All in all not a bad run and now not so keen to avoid all the nasty hills 😁🏃‍♂️👍

Haha that's brilliant. Maybe go out next Sunday at the same time and see if you meet him again? :D
