...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 everyoneπŸ™‚πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

...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!πŸ™‚

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

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!!

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

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!

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?

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!!πŸ‘πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ
