off road
Nov0620101 p.m.
well today was my first real off road run.
my lovely new off road shoes on my feet all clean and sparkling in the november sunshine ..... well that didnt last long.
It was an awesome run, through the woods by the river through the muddy fields, fab and more fab. I want to know why I didnt do this sooner, ah yes thats right the last time I ran in a field Ihad on the wrong shoes and was being chased by a herd of cows,not fun !
Today was totally different, I shared the countryside with two beautiful kingfishers, a buzzard and a heron not to mention the ducks oh and yes a butterfly , what hes doing about this time of year is anyones guess.
It feels like Ive started proper my training for the Isle of Wight challenge and that feels good as well. Five miles today and for my first of road thats good in my books, I dont want to push to hard to soon until my muscles are stronger, my long runs will still be on road for the time being and thats tomorrow and am even looking forward to that. I guess thats what a great run does for you, I thought Id be loads slower than I was as well so another pleasent surprise.
My poor shoes ................. they look like Ive had them for 100 years such is their mud encrustation (is that a proper word .... is now !)
