Sorry Anne! Today’s running adventure was with a good friend. Chatting about my blog, Anne asked me what I my writing topic would be today. “Nature” I said, “I’ve seen a lot of wildlife on runs and rides this week.” Anne joked that I could write about our run and some of the things we talked about.

Sherwood Pines: A Run In The Woods
If you go down to the woods today… It was never going to be easy; heading out on my first decent run since being ill. So, I figured the best thing to do was to run some where pretty! Sherwood Pines is a Forestry Commission run area right in the heart of Sherwood Forest –…
Early Morning Running

I started to run when a friend suggested taking part…

Free Running
Today’s adventure was free running. Not the sort where you leap from building to building – although I would love to give that a go! This free running was the type where you don’t really know where you are going or how far; you just go. This morning it was pouring with rain and I…
