Had my very wet run...fell over in the mud!😆

...but it was just what I needed apart from that! It was so flooded in places and ridiculously muddy too - one minute I was upright, the next ..I wasn't! Nice soft landing though! Happy running everyone🙂🏃‍♀️

Ewew. Photo? Hope you had a nice long soak in the bath afterwards 😍

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

...oh, yes - I should have done! And it was a nice hot shower. Thank goodness for the downstairs shower room - saves muddy clothes being traipsed through the house!🙂

Wow, that sounds like fun (not the falling over bit though!) Hope you’ve had a nice bath or shower once you got home🙂👍

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to David_G]

Thanks David. It was fun 🤔🙂 and I kept on running despite the mud!

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

It would have been even better fun (for us) if you could have shown us a photo Sandra! Glad you’re ok though, and enjoyed your muddy run! 🏃‍♀️👍😅

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Sorry no photo...but at least mud is a good soft landing!

[Stephen_UK Half Marathon]

Glad you were OK, Sandra. It was VERY wet out there today, wasn’t it?

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Stephen_UK]

It was, Stephen - and as wet and muddy as I hoped!They had also been repairing a wooden footbridge I run over and had driven a vehicle/trailer along part of the bridleway which had resulted in a very wide, churned up muddy path!!

[Stephen_UK Half Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

There’s mud everywhere right now. Impossible to avoid.

Glad you are okay... mud has some extremely useful attributes! x

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

Lovely soft landing!😲😆

[Granspeed]

👏🏼🎉👏🏼 Out there! Well done you.

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Granspeed]

Thank you Granspeed - it was what I needed.🙂

[Granspeed in reply to Sandraj39]

I lost my mum shortly before Christmas some years ago, and I still feel the absence though it does ease, of course. Outdoor running is a good antidote!

[ju-ju- Marathon]

Hope you are ok? I’ve fallen over the last two Saturdays in the woods. I think it’s all the hidden rocks and roots under the leaves... I hope you aren’t too shaken up?

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to ju-ju-]

No harm done ju-ju, the mud provided a very soft landing! Tripping on rocks and roots can really jolt you though - be careful out there!!👍🏃🏽‍♀️
