Hannah:
I ran my usual trot through the fields today and as usual encountered the cows! This time there was a herd of baby bulls in the field that were blocking my entrance. On the other side of the fence is a river so I decided that instead of running through the cows, I would precariously make my way along the side of the river. I clung to the fence (carefully avoiding the electric wire) and made my way to safety. The river was very high so I got wet feet!
The next part of the run was up 'the hill'. The hill is about 3/4mile long, it has been the bane of my life for years! I headed up the hill feeling ok and then I swallowed a fly! All I could think about was that the fly could have been sitting on the cow pats that I'd just avoided, and that I was about to die of some mad cow disease! All this worry helped me up the hill and I only needed to stop the once.
The rest of the run was uneventful apart from setting a new best time (for this year) over the course...yay me and my fly!

Oh my goodness Hannah, you're soooo very impressive, wading through rivers, battling wild (domesticated) animals, dealing with insects....all while setting a best time. Perhaps you should be training for one of those adventure races instead!
