Needed that

[Decker]

The lockdown restrictions are starting to ease here and I had my first non- solo long run in many weeks. My friend Luis and I ran (socially distanced more or less) through some of the local trails and had a great long chat about everything thats been going on and life and music. The miles went by so easily. The weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot. Slogging back home uphill I realized how much harder it seemed to do on your own. Which seems to work for many things, I guess. I hope you all are doing ok. The pics are from a few recent morning runs.

Sounds wonderful! Nothing like having something taken away, to make us fully appreciate it 😊

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to linda9389]

That is the truth!

Love this! It's always lovely when you lose yourself in a run. The company you shared made the day extra special.

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Hidden]

It was great to catch up after so long and it really felt easier.

I’m glad you were able to reconnect with Luis and get a buddy run in. As nice as solo runs can be at times, it’s getting old. Those are some great pics!

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to SaskAlliecat]

I still like solo runs but it was good to reconnect again. Thanks! Luis was patient to wait if I spotted a photo opp which was often

Yes it was a good morning for sure.

[Nevvy Marathon]

Lovely, running in nature with a friend, what could be better?

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Nevvy]

100% with you there. Some of the trails are really so relaxing to run through.

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Sounds like a great run Decker. Chatting as you run does make time fly.

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Dexy5]

Yes, I agree Dexy. The right company can make even a very long run manageable

[Mummycav]

Sounds fab Decker ...I often wonder if I’d run better with someone else...but I also like the headspace I get from being alone 🤔 I bet you had loads to talk about! Well done 👏🏻

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Mummycav]

Yes I am a fan of both long solo runs to clear my head and runs like this where you are right on the same page as the other person.
