We had our usual dog walk on Friday night, by the canal, and walked 3 miles. A lovely evening walk with lots of wildlife about.
Then Saturday morning was my first Parkrun with DD. 5k (approx 3 miles) in our local park. Three laps round the park starting at 9am. The atmosphere was really good, with over 200 people joining in!
DD's friend came along too. And then when we'd finished DD spotted a lady who used to teach music to her at High School!! So we stood chatting for a while, having a quick catch up.
When we got home DH had made sandwiches ready for us to go out walking. Not too far and not too difficult. So we headed for Silverdale and a walk up to Arnside Knot. A lovely walk with fabulous weather.
I hadn't really planned on any climbing but we made it to the top eventually. I'm glad we did as the views were lovely.
And after a quick lunch stop we headed back to the van along the same path, with a quick stop at a lovely little tearoom serving cakes, drinks and icecream. I hadn't taken any money with me, and DH didn't have much, but we had just enough to share a scone with jam and cream - delicious!
And today I took DD out for a 6 mile run in the Lake District. She'd found a trail route by the side of Ullswater, a path that we've walked before. After a bit of a late start we got parked up and started the run. Unfortunately it didn't go as well as previous runs as we were both tired and found the uphill sections a bit too tough to run up. So we did 4 miles on the path, then another 2 miles by the road.
It wasn't all bad. I enjoyed some sections of the run, and encouraged DD to keep going on the way back to the van - lunch and a cup of tea waiting!
So, a weekend of running and walking - running with DD and walking with DH.
This might just become a bit of a habit .......
