Red January 12

Back in trainers again 😳 already, that time between runs seems to be getting shorter πŸ‘€.

The expected rain wasn't around this morning, infact we had real sunshine πŸ‘.

The towpaths shared today, as the dog walkers have all come out in force, I'm joining briefly by a overly excited border collie who is all for ignoring his owners requests-whistles to come back 😬, he was after the twig like legs on offer πŸ˜‚.

Eventually giving up the chase I'm back alone, relaxing and free. It's tee-shirt weather, still gloves on as cold hands πŸ₯Άaren't nice to run with.

Leaving my canal side run, by the tunnel, it's a hop across the road, and into the lanes heading towards Chirk castle (shut again) and passed the marina.

The sun's actually got a smidge of early spring warmth to it, very pleasant to be out in 😎.

Slowing a little to get up the only hill today, it's nice to think this hill a while back always defeated my legs. Proof that we get better as we run more frequently and mix it up πŸ‘.

I'm told by 9weeks2run I'm lucky to have such an area but when she's all mended from the dreaded virus she'll be a welcome vrb for a virtual Welsh run, I may even brave the big smoke to return the favor πŸ™‚.

But really if we're out running then we're all blessed πŸ‘. The pre run squats definitely still helping CBDB πŸ‘ (may even have to foam roller peruse later for an upgrade as the daughters is sooo hard 😬).

That's another done onwards and upwards. Time for stretches, shower and maybe food all before work.........

Happy healthy Running you lot stay safe out. There πŸ‘

Well done Ian,Wow run 12 so fantastic sounded like a really lovely run and in the sunshine β˜€οΈ your pictures look beautiful. OMG I have not run since 30th December can’t wait to get started. I have actually had sore toes would you believe one is bruised think it must be Covid toes!! Still feeling pretty rubbish but so enjoy reading the posts and dreaming of running again.

Enjoy your run tomorrow

Take care
