Morning Run - Short and damp

I just finished a 5.426km running that lasted about 0hh:31mm:59ss !

I have a plan to do a long run this weekend, so did not want to wear myself out today. I was surprised to see it had been raining a little and there was still some dampness in the air as I headed out. I was thinking of going across the railway and around the fields. I took a picture from the bridge to show the menacing clouds.

As I headed west along the farm tracks I decided to go a different way and turned north. I was not sure if I had taken this route before. That track came to an end at a big ploughed field. I decided to try running around the edge where it was not too muddy. Happily this brought me to a lane that I reached by squeezing through a gap in the trees. A farm dog had a good bark at me, but did not chase me.

I had been managing a decent pace on parts of the run, although the first kilometre was slow due to stopping for the photo. It takes a minute to get my phone out and then I have to restart the podcast player that always crashes when I use the camera.

I followed this lane to the main road, which was pretty busy. I ran along the edge until I reached the lane that comes away from the station car park where it was quieter. I saw hardly anyone else on this run, which is unusual. Even the station was almost empty.

From the station is was the usual route home going around the back of the houses. I did encounter a lady I know who said she wished she could run. I think most people can run and it just takes time and commitment to do it.

I was not too wet from the rain, but I was pretty warm. It concerns me that it is due to be hot this weekend, so maybe I need to get out extra early then.

Run free and stay well.
