Morning Run - Summer?

avatar

I just finished a 6.935km running that lasted about 0hh:40mm:2ss !

We had some rain yesterday evening that cooled things down a little and so the grass was damp as I headed out. My legs were feeling a bit tired, but I wanted to run anyway. I had a little swim in our pool on Tuesday and may do so again today.

I did the clockwise Fairfield loop, but was a way off my best time. It took a while to really get going and I was a bit slower generally than my last run, but still okay really. This route has a lot more climbing.

I saw a few runners and a friend who was walking his dogs. Saw the little dog with wheels again.

It may have been my warmest morning run in a while, so it took a while to cool down afterwards. I have my breakfast when I get back. I do not really want to still be sweating when I hit the shower. I let the cold run-off cool me down a bit more in the shower. Then I get some coffee on and head to the study to start work. It will be a bit different once I am back in the office as I will not have the time for these morning runs. If I go back there part-time then that could be optimal. We shall see.

Have a great day!

Run free and stay well.

That is how my wife and I were last summer when we were working from home because of Covid. Sleep in, go for a walk, then go about our day. That hasn't been happening lately. Back to the 4 AM mornings and working out in the basement!

I've not seen some colleagues in over a year. We don't even have webcams for conference calls. It's been a strange time and it will take a while to get used to being around people again.

Oh wow, that is crazy. I know that webcams were in short supply for a while there. I can't imagine doing a conference without one. Although, I leave mine off most of the time!

I think it's partly for security reasons as laptops can be taken into secure areas. They order laptops without cameras, but then we have conference rooms in the office with fancy video systems.

That makes sense.

The last time I worked in an office it was only 2 miles away, and I'd either walk to work or ride my bike. When I rode I'd make a point of riding a few extra miles each way, since there was a shower on site that I could clean myself up in. I do miss that.

Now that I'm working from home (I have for about 5 or 6 years now) I find that it's nicer for me to go out riding at lunch. It's a nice way to break up the day. I might start a morning walk/ride again and spend lunch with my boys over the summer, but that'll depend on if I can get up early enough to do so. I'll admit, it's nice being able to get out of bed by 7 and still have time to start the day.

It's great to have that luxury. I've worked a lot with long commutes, but the current office is only about 10 miles away, so I can cycle it sometimes. It is an easy train journey anyway. I was at least getting exercise walking to the station. It's going to be strange going back regularly.
