A hilly 10 miles 😊

[Frenc]

Well what an absolute cracker of a day for a run! Cold, bright, just perfect. My cobbled together in my head plan seems to be paying off, which is stop running longer runs on the flat, do some ups and downs! Another reason for this is I’m enjoying finding new routes as things were starting to get a bit stale. Mind you, there was this incline today that I SWEAR does not exist when I drive, someone obviously put it there overnight. Bad people!

The sunny view photo doesn’t do it justice, it was just lovely, and the looking down the road pic was where I’d just come from. I don’t tend to take photos as I don’t like to stop, but I want to start taking in my surroundings more rather than just puffing through them like a choo choo train 🚂.

The Christmas gonks are just for fun. Have a smashing day everyone! 🎄⭐️😊

AHH well done Frenc 😊 Brilliant day for a run, great when you can fit a longer one in👏👏👏

Hills are our friends 😜

So whoever put it there done you a favour 🤣

Hope you will start to enjoy your new routes.. looks nice there 😊

My favourite after a long run is putting a bit extra on my plate at tea time, gotta use some of those hard earned used calories 😋

Thank you Sparky! It was a good run although I had to wiggle around a bit at the end to get it to 16.1k 🤣. The hills seem to be getting friendlier, and deffo a slap up tea for me later! 😊👍

Well done Frenc and great pictures. First thing I thought of was you had just run up the Teletubby hill 🤣🤣. Excellent.

Just like La La or Po! It was a bit like that 🤣. Thank you Alan99. 😊😊😊

I am giggling at the thought of puffing like a choo choo train 😂 You do realise that this is what I’ll think of now when I’m out there 😂

Lovely photos and that looks and sounds like a gorgeous run 😍

Ah bless you IP, that and sort of horsey snorting noises, as well as some colourful language! It was a lovely run, and all the better because now I just need to do a short one at the weekend. Money in the bank as my OH says 👍😊.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Frenc]

Oh yes the colourful language! I talk to myself too …

It can feel wrong to stop to take a pic eh? I often want to take a pic and don't just not to lose those few seconds. But sometimes it is just to nice not to take a pic.

Well done on those hills! I fear hills, even qtruggle on a very slight rise off the street. Luckily I live flatter than flat 😂

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Evy, I just have to remember they’re good for me 🤣. It was nice to stop and take a few photos, I’m definitely going to try and do it more. It wasn’t for very long and I enjoyed looking at the photos after. All the best 😊😊😊.

Climb every mountain! Wow! Great run - and love the gonks 😊

[Frenc Half Marathon]

Ah thank you. Definitely climb any mountain - or nice little hills in my case. I think I’d have been looking for a cable car queue otherwise 🤣. Hope all is ok with you? 😊😊😊
