Mountain run!

[skysue16]

Last week we were in North Wales walking up some big mountains - wonderful weather, dry all week, sunny, warm 😀. Hopefully all the steep hills and scrambling will count towards my HM training!! Our first morning I went for a lovely 7km run with Squiggy along the Ogwen valley from our accommodation and down Nant Ffrancon valley. Absolutely stunning views. The route was tarmac paths and an old road - a few ups but mostly downhill (hubby picked me up further down the valley 😊).

Rest/stretching and some strength exercises today and planning a LONG run on Monday. Not sure how far it is (from home to Mum’s village) probably around 12 miles!! 😬

Hill walking and scrambling definitely counts 👍

The last time I was in the Ogwen valley was when Mrs BC (as she then wasn’t) and I were 18 years old. Many happy memories. 🙂
