I was running with the dog today down a road through the woods on our usual winter route when, unusually, we caught up with two other people also running with dogs.
This was a pain because either my dog was on the lead and pulling like mad to greet the other dogs 50 yards ahead or I let him off and he chased after them anyway.
So I decided to go off into the woods which had been too wet to run in, but in fact it had dried out and we both enjoyed a different and unplanned run. In fact instead of going up and down the dry but usual road we went according to my Nike running app round in a big circle round woodland tracks.
We are often faced with a fork in the road or a choice. Continuing down the usual route may be safe (and not muddy), but taking the fork and going into uncharted territory whilst possibly challenging and a risk can be very different and rewarding.
