Signs of spring

I went for my run in the park today. It was a lovely morning for it. I have now completed nearly the first 3 weeks of the Couch to 5k programme. Having run 6 times in the gym and twice outside I can definitely say I prefer running in the open air. It is much more interesting and the coolness of the air feels great. It was lovely to see some old signs of autumn in the leaves combined with signs of spring in the daffodil shoots, alongside a couple of little squirrels scurrying about. I look forward to documenting the arrival of the daffodils and crocuses as they emerge.

Today I’m grateful for having a lovely park right next door to my house. It certainly makes the likelihood of me running in it increase just due to its proximity!
