Haven't run for six days due to work and curfew, so went out to do a sensible, grown-up, properly-paced, flat(tish) 5k or so on roads and footpaths.
Came back just over an hour later covered in mud, having succumbed yet again to the lure of the forest and got lost in the process. Slowest run ever - I even ended up walking on a short but super-muddy, rutted 20%+ uphill stretch. Also climbed over a fallen tree, jumped over branches, and hopped and skipped over streamlets.
Results: 8.10k, 7:44/km, 327m elevation gain, and a daft grin.

That reassures me Decker . I usually work on the theory that if a track shows signs 👣 of loggers 🌲 or hunters 🐕 having been there, it must go somewhere. Not necessarily where I'd like it to go, but somewhere!
That was exactly it misswobble . I knew that if I could keep on going up I'd eventually get to the track that I often run along, even if I didn't know where and when!
Some of it was unintentional (oh look this track goes up, not down...) but I love playing in the forest, and it's hard to run on the flat round here HeavyFoot . I've had a few days off, so I might go out tomorrow, and do something sensible for a change. Or not... 😂
Now that sounds like my kind of run! Much more interesting and fun than tarmac, tarmac, tarmac, and I wouldn’t call it getting lost either, that’s being curious and exploring! 💪🏃♀️and the mud......running medals! 🏅😂
