After a week of business trips to London, events in Edinburgh. Babysitting my nephew and frustrating work processes the dogs and I had cabin fever. Nearly a whole week without a run!
We headed out with a vague idea of a new route to avoid a skinny footpath in the dark. Candy and Winnie were well prepared with flashing collars and I put on reflective gloves. Just as well as it was already dark at 5pm!
No satellite signal on my garmin 310xt… 3 false starts, Two resets and and a turn off and on fixed the problem, by which time we’d walked quarter of a mile and the rain had started!
Down hill for the first two miles was a doddle but reality kicked in as the path evened out! As the rain got heavier and the dogs were shaking it out of their coats. I decided to go for 5 rather than 6 miles and turned to run back up the hill home!
Two dogs and me in the shower was a must at the end of our hilly climb home because we were all covered in leaf mulch and mud in the rain!
Surprisingly I felt more awake and happier despite the rain dampening the run!
One day at a time!!! Keep on going…
