An unremarkable road run

It was pointed out to me yesterday that I need to plan a route for when I can’t run in the park so today was the day.

I managed a 35min pavement/road run which was entirely unremarkable except for the fact that I DID IT 🎉🎉🎉

Not easy but slow and steady and, most importantly, DONE ☺️

I now have a route that I can shorten or lengthen as I see fit. I’ll stick to the park for as long as I can but I now have a pavement route to use when the time comes.

Happy days ☺️☺️

A great result!! Why is it some days you can’t use the park? Soggy ground?

Precisely that. It gets water-logged.

I also have a "there and back" pavement-only route. I'm not running that at the moment but will return to it as it progressively gets darker earlier.

Due to Welsh Lockdown I’ve had to revert to a main road there and back from my front door 😬

It’s undulating and a bit exposed in places...but the best route available 🙄

Go us! 👍👊🐌🐢🏃🏻‍♀️
