Just a short recovery run tonight. Duncan dropped me off on the bend of Scout Road/Colliers Row and I started running along Walker Fold. I ran down along to the farm then turned left and followed the path towards the mast road.
I crossed the mast road and ran along to the water tanks then up to Two Lads.
At the start of my run, I was feeling really sluggish and tired but after about 1.5 miles I seemed to come alive, so much so that I got a personal record on the Strava segment from the water tanks to Two Lads so I'm pretty pleased with that.
I then ran down to the dog hotel, but was quite tentative because my ankle was still a bit delicate when running down hill.
After the kennels, I crossed George's Lane and ran down through my favourite field. Right at the bottom, before the gate, I smelled the dead sheep before I noticed it. It hit me right in the back of the throat and made me gag. There is no worse smell!
The sheep itself looked normal at first as it was just lying down and I could see it's back but when I got round to be able to see it's underneath, there was none! It was hollowed out! There was just a huge gaping hole where it's stomach should be and you could see right through to the ribcage. Poor thing.
I then ran down to the stables and along the path towards Widerswood before running down past Wylderswoode Stud and heading home.
Total distance - 3.25 miles
