Dreadful weather this morning, heavy rain 🌧, very cold, and strong winds. Just an easy pace 3.85 miles

We did Alnwick meadows parkrun, basically round a grassy field. It was the B route as the A route had a bull and his herd of cows on the field. Isn't that a great reason for a course change.
It was a very tough course, especially on my dodgy knee but the views of Alnwick Castle were spectacular. We had a nice breakfast in town after and made a day trip of it, until the rain arrived after lunch and we came home.

0061,a bull and a herd of cows in the field was an excellent reason for changing the parkrun course. Last Wednesday, a running friend and I decided to run a virtual 5k in the forest. We turned into a narrow trail and in the middle was a white cow with horns looking very menacing. We stopped and the beast started moving its hooves, as if to charge. We immediately turned back and walked very cautiously onto a parallel path.
Well done for completing the revised course with a dodgy knee.
This morning was a steady road 4 miles with Sarah H.

Sorry - not had any time to pop in here and chat lately. My golf was abysmal on Friday - I lost by 22 shots!! Been getting out for some early-morning walks the last few days.
Need to get offline - we have a u3a open meeting this afternoon and as a RUM (really useful member) I need to get there early to set up the chairs. Will try and pop in again soon ..

Sorry to hear WtnMel that you were beaten by Alan in your golf match on Friday. Good that you have had a few early morning walks.
I hope that this afternoons u3a open meeting goes well.
Just the usual Tuesday Farmers Walk this morning.

That's a real pounding WtnMel in the golf, just a bad day I guess.
Hope the circuits went favourably hillstrider. Do you all run together or go at your own pace.
I'm back from Manchester. Still waiting for the grandchild who seems reluctant to pop out...

0061, thanks, my circuits were slower than the last time we did the session. There were just the 3 of us. We ran at our own pace, but waited until we all reached the start again, and set off together again. This meant that the fastest runner, not me, had a longer recovery.
I hope that you don't have to wait too much longer for your grandchild to arrive.

I ran a solo 7 miles in the forest this morning, in lovely sunshine 🌞. I felt surprisingly good, especially after yesterday's hilly circuit reps.
