Got to start somewhere!

Inspired by one of my Mum’s amazing carers, and four months on from my last run with Daren (which was my only proper run in 2025!), I finally made it out the door for a run.

I ran up across the field, down the path to the top of Ovingdean, and then back.

It was hard work running down the hill as there was a fairly strong headwind blowing directly against me… but that made the return leg a little easier, despite the gradient.

Who am I kidding… the whole thing was super hard work for my poor legs!

The path across the field currently has a single electric fence at each end that you have to duck under… tired legs on the return journey meant that I lost my balance and ended up with a nice gentle roll in the mud!

Whilst Strava didn’t capture the return leg, I reckon it was around 2.5 miles in maybe 30 minutes or so.
