Second consolidation run. πŸ’ͺ😡

And yet more rain and more mud. But it was a beautiful morning, even if very cold to start. I find the 5 minute fast walk isn't enough to get my very' efficient' metabolism m shifted. So I jog, skip, walk, until I can feel me heart reacting. A bit like starting a a water mill. πŸ˜‚. But once I got going, I felt good. I Even found running through all the mud distracted me from the fact that I was running up hill.

Well done - it looks lovely where you were running, and I really like your positive refiguring of mud.

I do consider myself very lucky to live with my garden backing onto these fields in Potters Bar. πŸ€πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ

Sounds exhausting before you even get to the running πŸ˜‚

Lovey place to run...looks less muddy even if it wasn’t!

Fortunately for me, because its not flat, the puddles are in the lower patches. But because its sloping, the rainwater runs like a steam off the fields. But I love it. And it will be drier today, even if a bit foggy. Happy running. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ–οΈ

I like your extra warm ups! Good idea. I also warm up at home before my brisk walk and find it really helps.
