I like mud. I enjoy running in mud and getting muddy, I always have. However I realised whilst running (joke) the 14 miles of Charnwood Hills just how many different sorts of mud there are.
- Sticky treacle type mud- yes we had that
- Wet slippery cement like mud – lots and lots of that
- Mud you could wrestle in – yes lots of that type
- Mud stinking of cowshit and a greenish colour – yes we had that also
- Mud full of grit – that also – mainly under lots of water
- Mud that flicks up in your eye and gets up your nose somehow – found some of that
- Mud that sticks to jelly babies and add to the taste – didn’t mind that type
- Uphill mud – inconvenient
- Downhill mud – comical or dangerous depending how mad you are
As you may have gathered Charnwood hills was a touch muddy this year. It is always muddy however the general consensus was that on the MUD scale it reached new heights (or depths).
But best of all about mud is that it washes off and is soon forgotten about. Unlike paint.
