Good idea?

Myself and Science left our car in town on Friday night so we could go for a few beers after work and stuff our faces with cheeseburgers and fries and nachos. After a few wacky cocktails (mine had cherry jam in it) we thought it might be a good idea to run into town in the morning to collect the car.

I'll tell you now, I haven't been for a run outside in well over two years. If I'm going to run I want to be in the warm on a treadmill where I can watch Corrie in subtitles on the big screens and then go home and be able to say I've been to the gym. Even if I did only manage 15mins. Better than nothing, right?

It was a strange feeling pulling on my running shoes after so long but I was secretly really excited. It was super sunny and I wasn't too hungover either. Bonus!

Science made me stretch before we set off and naively suggested doing a longer route than the one I'd had in mind. But by the time we reached the end of the street an out-of-breath Science agreed that the quickest route was probably best for us... Phew! So off we ran into Newcastle from Gateshead across the Redheugh Bridge.

 

Our run was just under 2 miles and we walked for brief periods but I was still absolutely chuffed with it! Better yet I really enjoyed being out there, how could I not with views like this!

The Tyne is bloody gorgeous, isn't it?
