Week 3 run 3 😄

[Phoenix010]

So I woke at 2am, haven’t a clue why,, then couldn’t get back to sleep, not great 😬

Still got myself out of bed at 6am for my morning run telling myself “ your up for this, who needs sleep anyway “ 😂

Started my 5 minute warm up walk which should take me just round the first lake I run around. So I’m waiting for old Johnson to tell me to run but I hear nothing!! I look at my phone and noticed the app was paused with 4.51 minutes still to walk 😬

Ok not a problem who want to be on time for work anyway 😂 I restart the app and start another 5 minutes 😀

Half way through this next walk I enter the field with the cows,, it had to be didn’t it they are all grazing along the fence where the path is, with nowhere to go but straight on I drew a deep breath and went for my game of dodge the cow, if anyone tells you cows are gentle creatures that’s probably because they haven’t had to walk through a heard at 6 in the morning,, they are big and intimidating and when they mooo at you it is a little worrying 🤣

Once at the other side Johnson my best bud at this point gave me the indication to run which I was happy to do at this point.

That first stage now took me onto the next lake which I must say was pretty amazing, the sun had a dark golden glow to it coming across the lake the ground mist was hovering just over the water and drifting onto bank, the birds obviously startled by me all headed off at the same time across the lake 😀 it was picture perfect 👍👍

This put my head in a much better place it was amazing 😀

The run was perfect there on, even dodging the cows on the way back didn’t dampen my mood 😀

So no matter how bad a run starts, carry on as you never know what’s around the corner people 😀😀😀

Happy running

Well done you

Those pesky moo cows can be trouble 🤣i used yo have to walk past a herd for 4 months of the year on my way to and from work. They purposely stand in your way!!!!! Dont get me started on dodging their biproducts💩

Glad you enjoyed your run tho👍

[Phoenix010 in reply to Smile23]

🤣 I wasn’t looking at there biproducts, found myself more worried about be charged or something, probably stepped in loads 😂

Not sure I would like to do it for 4 months 😬

The run was fantastic thank you 😀

Don't let those big cow eyes fool you lol....they are a curious menace, especially if they are young. Do love cows though.

Sounds like the best kind of run though. Can't beat the fresh morning. Lifts the mood and starts the day off flying. Well done 😊🏃‍♂️👍 and hope you didn't stand in too many bi products 🙈🤣

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

Had what felt like 100 pairs of cow eyes on me, very worrying 😂 there was was one big dark looking cow that I swear had it in for me, didn’t take its eyes off me all the way.. cows are cool from a distance or behind a fence 😂

Got to agree, you can’t beat a morning run, certainly puts you in the right mood for the day,, didn’t even mind being late for work 😳

Not sure what I stood in, but I know my shoes were wet to the socks ☹️😂

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Phoenix010]

Apparently if you have a big stick they won't come near you....well at least that's what my Nan used to tell us 🤣

Let's hope it was just a heavy dew that soaked you're feet 🤭

Hope you weren't too late for work 😎

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

😂A big stick, I’ll have to add that to all the other gear I got penned to buy 👍

Nan’s always give the best advice bless them 🙂

I’m pretty sure it was,, well that’s what I’m telling myself 😕

Works fine it’s hard to tell yourself off 😂 although I did apologise to guys out of respect 🙂

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Phoenix010]

Lmao give yourself a good talking to for being late 🤔....yeah doesn't quite work does it 🤣

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

Yeah I sat myself down and proper laid it on line, anymore and I’m out, can’t have this constantly being late,, what example you setting the guys!!!

I got myself all worried and everything 😂

Your right it don’t work... 😊

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Phoenix010]

Tough boss lol! 😳🤣

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

Nah big softy really 😂

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Phoenix010]

Lol even with your axe and iron man chest light....oh and don't forget the big stick 🤣

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

Lmao that’s all to get me through the running, would never wear it work, the guys would start wondering what I get up to in my spare time 😂

Mind you I could beat them with the big stick 😀

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Phoenix010]

Lmao that made me laugh, nearly choked on my lunch 🤣

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

🤣 don’t choke on your lunch, I don’t want that on my conscience 😕

To be honest the lot I work with probably dress up in their own time anyway so I’d fit right in 😀

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Phoenix010]

I wrote something then deleted it 🤣 - not suitable lol!

You're painting quite a picture you know 😉😂

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

Good picture I hope,, I’m a stand up citizen I have you know 😂

[Brunsamarathon Graduate in reply to Phoenix010]

Lmao pillar of the community....of course 🤣 You're funny...I'll give you that lol

[Phoenix010 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

In my mind I am 😂 others would probably say different, but I don’t listen them, they know nothing 😂

[Femai]

Hi Femai, thank you 👍

[Femai]

Well I went for a walk on the canal only to boots! Shop to get weighed on the weight machine thought there & back will be plenty of excercise but hey ho machine not working out of order!. So said to my care worker is there a Superdrug’s here? No there isn’t 1. She said we can go into town if want? Said that will be a bit far from here? She said no 5 mins so walked into town mask on oh well got to Superdrug Guess What??? Same as boots!!! Due to health & safety because of Covid! So I said it doesn’t matter we have done some more walking!! she said have u got ur bus pass? No I said with due to not been using public transport but still had the money from not being able to weigh!! think swore I had another £1 coin for bus to make up bus fair! But she gave me a £1. I did actually have the correct change for the bus!! But hey ho I done extra walking!! Walking along canal slowly bridling up! Then boots then town!! Well well!

[Phoenix010 in reply to Femai]

Well done for getting out and making a start any exercise is good 😀

It’s a shame both machines were out of action but on the plus side it dose give you an option to get out and try again 😀👍

[Femai in reply to Phoenix010]

Yeah thanks!

[swim63 Graduate]

I love this! So funny about the cows, but sounds like you have an amazing route 😊

[Phoenix010 in reply to swim63]

Hi Swim, thank you, it’s not bad 😊 the cows do give it any dimension 😂 but I guess it keeps you on your toes 👍
