I detect a run 🏃🏻‍♀️

[Frenc]

What a gorgeous day 😊. I set out with rather stiff legs - I’ve been stretching like a demon and I think I may have had too much of a good thing. And I just couldn’t make up my mind where to go so I settled on killing 2 birds with one stone and did a route that goes past my parents’ house so I could pop in and say hello. Then run back from there.

I saw a field that from afar looked as though it had lots of funny coloured bales of hay but on closer inspection, it was filled with very socially distanced metal detectorists. I guess they had special permission today from the farmer. I wonder if they find anything exciting!

I pushed on through a lovely village called Sparshot which is picture postcard pretty, then down a tiny lane to reach my folks’ house. No-one was in so I talked to the dogs for a bit. My mum and dad appeared about 5 minutes later so I had a nice cup of coffee and a catch up.

I’m ashamed to say I accepted the offer of a lift home, it was rude not to! Have a smashing day everyone 😊😊😊.

Yes another nice day !And a good 9.3k , well done .

I'm a bit siff today also as yesterday was the first run again for a while .

And i think you deserved your coffee and a lift home afterwards 😁

Ah thank you Ian! It’s sort of a good stiff though isn’t it. The coffee was very good I have to say, may need more soon 🤣.

[Instructor57 in reply to Frenc]

Haha, yes your absolutely right ! A good stiff.

I remember it well from C25K week 1 run 1 😁

That's so lovely. Sounds like a Carlsberg run 😊

Is that when there’s beer at the end? 🤣. Thank you!

Isn't it blissful this sunny weather.. we appreciate it all the more because of the winter months ❄️🌞Running through a picturesque village.. sounds wonderful.. good on you for getting out .. hopefully you'll be less stiff later for it 😊

Once you've stopped a lift home would be to good an offer to refuse 😉

Enjoy the rest of your day Frenc 🏃‍♀️💃🎶👏

Thanks Sparky! I did appreciate the lift as the long road back towards me is awful, all uphill and so many tree roots coming up through the pavement. That’s my excuse anyway 🤣.

Looks beautiful Frenc and lovely to be able to call in on parents...I'd definitely have accepted the ride home. No brainer!
