This afternoon was a muddy affair. We had 4 miles to do and since it IS Sunday, we thought that we'd be able to run during daylight. Andy also felt like going out onto the Cloud trail. The daylight might have been a good idea, the Cloud trail less so. We were met by a muddy trail which left us slipping and sliding for the first km after which, thankfully, there were a lot less mud. The first km however, did put us off running on the Cloud trail for the day, so instead of doing an out-and-back run as we had planned, we instead did a shorter version of the Worthington 5 mile course which is a loop through Belton and back towards Worthington via a road.
The Forerunner gave me a bit of hassle today, calculating distance wrong by nearly a km (luckily I picked up on it when we went from 3.6km to 4km in 2 seconds and also earlier during the run when it skipped a few 100m), so we had to make a rough estimate of how much we still had left to go. We enjoyed the cool weather though, and the run was fun. I think we might just skip the slipping and sliding next weekend.
