There are many reasons why I love to hit the trails. It’s always a fun adventure that focusses my attention on the world around me while permitting my imagination to run wild. Besides, running on the uneven surfaces and frequent inclines is a fantastic way to build aerobic fitness and toughen up the legs, all while being spellbound by ever changing scenery.
Today, I set out to explore some new territory after work. Based on what I found, I can only conclude that I have unsuspectingly ventured through a secret portal into Middle Earth…
I followed a little stream…
… ran through a tunnel…
… crossed over (and under) several bridges…
… ran under a waterfall…
… and ended up on a mountain top!
Days like today always remind me that I have so much to be grateful for. I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful corner of our world. I am blessed with a strong and healthy body that allows me to explore the world around me, an inquisitive mind that always challenges me to keep moving forward and a heart full of wanderlust. Life can be amazing!
Whoa, where the heck do you live? That is gorgeous!
Hey and thanks for reading this and taking the time to leave a comment! I live in bonny Scotland. This particular run took me up Maspie Den near Falkland. While there are some fantastic trails right on my doorstep, I was blown away by the magic of that little den yesterday. I just wanted to explore some new territory on my way home from work and stumbled upon this absolute gem. Awesome!
These pictures are AMAZING!!!!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy them! I’m aware that I’m super lucky to have trails like this right on my doorstep!
