My run today was possibly the worst run I have ever done
Wearing high wedge sandals to work just because I had a pedicure yesterday = Sore legs right from the beginning.
Deciding to run on the hottest day of the year = Very hard work right from the start, hot weather has to be the worst kind of running weather for me.
Choosing a longish run on a day I'm weary = Even before half way round I was wishing I was at home.
Liking circular and new routes I had to complete a stretch along a busy main road and the verge hadn't been cut = I had to walk as the grass/nettles/weeds were knee deep and difficult to wade through and my legs have been stung to bits.
Diverting my route along a footpath through a field to get away from the road = severe cuts to my ankles trying to navigate my way alongside a shoulder deep crop, no visible path and getting well caught up in very sharp and unforgiving goose grass.
My 8.5 k took far too long and although the sky was the most magnificent blue and the trees a very vibrant green I did not enjoy this outing.
I do have one positive, I saved a slow worm from certain death!
Oh Lyn, not good. I shouldn't laugh but when I started to read your blog I thought you were going to say you were running in high wedge sandals, in which case 8.5k would have been the equivalent of an Ultra.
ReplyDeleteI recommend sudacrem for the stings, followed by a glass of well earned wine x
Ha ha ha, high heels would have helped with the long grass!
