Well, today wasn’t about how far or how fast, but where! You know when you look at the map and think oooh why don’t I try that? So I did. The main reason is because it’s pretty undulating and I just wanted to see what it was like. It did take me into the middle of nowhere for a bit, but it was lovely to just see over the fields and really smell the countryside, some bits smelling better than others!
There was a 1.5 mile uphill bit, starting out fairly gently but getting steeper, and I was very pleased to get to the top in one piece. It took me to a place called Farley Mt, a forestry commission park nearby. Funnily I’ve only ever driven here to walk the dog, and it felt brill to actually run here.
I saw lots of cyclists, and then a group of about 9 young men running in the other direction as I got towards the end. They all looked so fit and healthy, and had that youthful glow that only makeup can provide past a certain age 🤣. So I tucked my tummy in and gave a big smile which was reciprocated. Aren’t runners nice.
I so enjoyed today’s run, here’s to many more. Have a smashing day all! 😊😊😊
