I had a really busy and somewhat stressful day, felt like I didn't get a chance to breathe after one query before the next one came in, and so my run which had been scheduled for lunch time was put back to 5pm. Just as well, because it was heaving it down with rain at lunch time but at 5pm the sun was out!
Anyway, just after 2 miles in, I had to come to a stop for a few minutes as my path was blocked, as you can see from the photo below!
It made me giggle anyway! I got some confused looks from the cows! This run is affectionately known as the Cow Loop for good reason - it passes the University Dairy Farm so I often see the cows in being milked (you should be pleased this photo isn't scratch and sniff!). I have changed the route from the original 5 mile Cow Loop that Sarah had mapped out, because that route involved a bit of road which can sometimes be a bit busy. Now the Cow Loop is just under 6 miles, with very little of it on roads (and even then, they are only neighbourhood streets so not busy). In the early days of my training, we used to have to climb over these gates (and some further on), but now there is a gap in the fences making this less of an obstacle course. Probably good given my track record!
Speaking of my track record, I learnt something new today - you can drop an iPhone 4S from waist height into a stony muddy puddle and get away with it. Not that I am advising you do of course ;-)
