RUN 117 - Hortham Lane, Almondsbury

A cool icy morning today, i encountered several other runners including a local football team out on a training run. So often people think I'm crazy for the times, weather and distances i run, its always nice to see other people out doing the same thing i love to do, especially on such a beautiful sunny cool day as today. The photo below is typical of many of the roads in this area, you need to be alert and keep an ear out for oncoming traffic, the reward is a beautiful calm running track, often rewarded with public footpaths which are easily explored across private land. So often, when i have a set schedule of running distances, each run has the danger of feeling contrived or mundane, when your starting point is so often the same the first few miles can be that way, until you have a chance to change direction at which point every changes and a completely new experience begins. [5.94m - 46:29 - 07:50/m]
