I hope everyone’s had a great weekend, we had grand toddlers and grand teenagers and it was fab but exhausting.

Daughter said shall we walk? oh it’s up steep hill and the wind across the top of the downs nearly blew us away but was good, a couple of kilometres on wind and rain throwing ball for dog

Keep well everyone and happy running

Glad you enjoyed your walk today W&S, that was nice seeing your grand toddlers and teenagers as well. 😊

After my 50th 5K run on Friday, today I went a 12K walk, there are many hills on it, I was thinking to myself, 'should I run this route' that walk is on part of an annual Half Marathon trail course, while walking I was passed by several runners who may have been running that HM trail course.

50 5Ks Al, that’s amazing! 🤩 I even love that you can say it with such accuracy.

The 50 were made up of 17 official 5K parkruns and since they stopped in March, I have ran what we call virtual 5K parkruns, I now have ran 33 of them

My daughter came today and we walked the dogs along a wild beach and ferocious sea 🌊🌊 Fairly deserted now summer is over, just how we like it 😂😂

We walked and talked and the dogs had crazy ‘zoomies’ , then home for tea .

A great walk 👌🙂

A bullying wind is not so good for running but a windy walk is great for blowing away Halloween cobwebs!

I totally agree 👍 a Walk is great and is still exercise and out moving especially when with family and granddogs 👍❤️

So nice that you got to spend time with family. Those toddlers would have kept you on the move, never mind the walk! Lovely to walk in blustery weather though.

We are in beautiful Skye , heading home today and despite gale force winds and torrential rain , we walked at Lealt Viewpoint and Staffin to see the dinosaur footprints .It was braw! Home today, so it will be my usual run in the usual rain tomorrow. I love pottering with my grand babies , I'm glad you had fun .

Lovely to see family and that's important now as we move into lockdown. Nothing like a walk with the kids!

A breezy walk sounds absolutely wonderful, and just the tonic to get through the next four weeks xx
