Afternoon trail running

A nice afternoon off work, the sunshine and some trails in a local country park to help build up my mileage, it doesn't get much better!

They say pictures can tell a thousand words so I am going to let my pictures do the talking.

I covered just over 13K, about 3K on the road to get there and 3K on the way back so about 7K in the middle on trails.

On a sunny afternoon like this why would you even consider running on a treadmill in a gym or pounding the pavements round the streets?
