Went for a run on the trails today. It was warm and the trails were really wet. Some kind soul had laid out some logs over the really deeper boggy parts but I still sank in a few spots. Then out and around on the adjacent golf course and back again. Was a great release and I’m hoping it does not get fully shut down in the weeks to come. Hope you are all safe and able to get out when you can.

You have to get out and enjoy that sunshine when you can! I’ve been feeling a little off so I shortened my run today but still got out to enjoy the sun. Sunday is supposed to be 13 so I’m hoping I’m feeling better after a few days off from the stress of work so I can get out for my longer run. I had fun doing an impromptu hopscotch that some kids had drawn on the sidewalk though near the end of my run though. It made me feel like a kid again and for a few short minutes I forgot all about what was going on around me. It was blissful 😊

Exactly, just get out while we can and where we can right? Hope you are feeling 100% soon. You deserve a nice relaxing run to unwind. Yes Sunday here will be a warm one with rain and thunderstorms, so that will be my long run day I think. Our run group is doing a virtual run post tomorrow. Those little surprises people leave like that hopscotch done by those children, sometimes are the mood-lifters we really need.

A bit of vitamin D and vitamin “R” always do the trick, don’t they? 🙂. It was so nice to get out in shorts for a change.

It was a really lovely day Ali. I am convinced the air is cleaner too without all the cars and factories running lately.

Nice one! Paths and fields are finally starting to dry here. I think we've just had a whole week of sunshine and no rain! Keep enjoying those runs Decker!

We are getting all our rain Sat and Sun Linda. My long run is slated for Sunday, with our run group doing a virtual post mural of all the runners going out this weekend for a bit of motivation.

Looks gorgeous Decker, the colour of that blue sky is amazing. It nearly matches the colour of your socks 😂

It was lovely IP. The pics had more than a few filters so the sky was looking as blue as my socks 😁, which are very blue, but not very waterproof.

Looks like a beautiful day there Decker🌞 - glad you were able to enjoy your (soggy) run! I think we are all appreciating our runs even more at the moment. Take care and stay safe.🙂

it was lovely and I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's long run too. I did a re-con walk today with Mrs Decker in a nearby still-open nature reserve.

Hope you enjoyed it! I did a lovey wooded forest HM this morning in the rain. I was the only person in the whole area.
