Socially Distant Exercise - Day 17

My son wanted to exercise with me today so we needed to choose a local location that had plenty of space. We opted for the old canal trail which borders our street. At first there were quite a few family groups heading in the same direction, but luckily they deviated to a different footpath. This meant we had time to be careful about crossing stiles without using our hands:

We alternated between walking and running along the old canal and managed to maintain a safe distance from other walkers. It was only after we got back to Hawes Bridge that the number of other people increased:


It was a beautiful spring day and it was such a pleasure to see all the lambs gambolling around the fields:


Today should have been the Manchester Marathon I've been training for since before Christmas. As that is on hold until October I'm just trying to maintain my base fitness. My son is also trying to not lose his race fitness whilst all his clubs and races are suspended:


As we came back into our street I noticed that our community flower bed is looking amazing with all its tulips in full glory:


As I was only going to be getting the laundry in I decided to have a go at emulating Lauren Bacall in a little black dress and pearls:


The Mazzle is starting to come together. I am learning more about the location of the fells in the Central Lake District:
