Reckon That Runner's Running From Sheep - Answer

Upon further prodding, Casey revealed an excellent, non-sheep-related reason for being on the move in this photo. "The route we were following was from a collection of 'weekend pub walks', if I remember correctly," he said. This shot was taken on the Hever to Lehigh path in Kent, just south of London.

At Blaze we get lots of questions about why one people might run when they travel. Casey's "Reckon" reminds me of a completely relevant, although not-always mentioned, reason for doing so. Many pub-crawling travelers I have surveyed confess to having been swept from a crawl to a walk to a run to a sprint by the time they reach pubs 4-5. This arises out of a myriad of factors, which often involve starting said pub crawl too late, spending too much time at the first pubs, and drinking with a band of competitive people who are determined to hit every single drinking establishment they can before closing time (See "Edinburgh - July 2002"). Therefore, when you are home and especially when you are traveling, it is important to ensure your body can meet the demands that such endeavors may require of it. 

Thanks for the submission, Casey!
