Yesterday was a lovely day and I managed to get out into the garden for a couple of hours to prepare the way for a new project. This involved removing a couple of large shrubs that were past their best and moving a couple of railway sleepers. I’m quite surprised that I’ve not felt the after effects of all the cutting, digging and struggling with sleepers!
After sitting with a quadspresso in the teahouse this morning, planning the next steps, I got out for a run on my local circuit. The ground was surprisingly wet and the mud was thus really liquid, meaning that I was splishing a lot. There was little point in trying to avoid this water-mud so I just ran through the very worst of it… generally in straight lines so that I didn’t end up on my face!
For a change (and in order to avoid the worst of the mud) I ran along the Magical Path today, though even this was muddy.
I don’t normally take pictures of the beautiful houses I run past, but this one is for sale if anyone is interested… though I can’t find it on the agent’s site to let you know the price!
Sometimes it’s hard to convey what the conditions are like… today, however, I have photos!
6 miles in 1.02 is an average speed of just under 6mph… you can see the route here: https://www.strava.com/activities/258563623
My aim was to get back out to my garden project, but incessant rain stopped play. Cue a slob-out afternoon in front of the TV instead!
