A Sunday morning running adventure

Ok, so this is my first ever blog post, I don't know how to make it look all fancy and add photos but guess I am here to learn! I also really hope this has some sort of spell check function. Here goes! I'm Lucie and I am taking part in the local running adventure! excited! and slightly worried my running will be on a par with my blogging skills... So today I went on a running adventure- it was quite exciting really (though it was waaaay to early on a Sunday morning). It was an unexpected adventure as I was supposed to be kayaking but the river was too high so I donned my running outfit (always good to look the part) and strode out into the morning chill... I have been running in Bath before, but if I am honest I plan to downplay previous exercise to make myself look a bit better when I limp over the finish line after an embarrassingly slow run in March. So I headed to the park- easy, took about 10 minutes, turns out I live quite close to the park. Next challenge I thought I might aim higher- quite literally and decided to tackle a hill- being in Bath, there’s a few so I aimed for the one I thought was nearest and went for it. So after a short stint of running up and down what I fear may have been the same 3 roads for about 20 minutes I make it to linear park- success!!! Or not... it was closed and I was back to square 1, but it did give me the chance to entertain the lady walking her Jack Russell by running (If I am brutally honest at this stage it was walking) up the drive of someone’s house- in my defence I thought it was a footpath, realising, then trying to pretend I meant to do that, while beating a hasty retreat. I finally found my way and carried on up to Bear Flat and familiar territory. I was a lovely Sunday morning and linear park was the perfect place for a run- it’s actually closed because of the "Two Tunnels" project which will provide a walking and cycling route through 2 disused railway tunnels to the other side of Bath. It will be lit, which is handy as the tunnels are pretty long and a fantastic link to the existing routes, avoiding the dreaded hills! You can read more on their website www.twotunnels.org.uk Also heading down Lyncombe hill- you just get the most amazing views of Bath- especially in the morning.
