Lunchtime Run: Pushing up the daisies
I just finished a 7.024km running that lasted about 0hh:45mm:31ss !
The title is inspired by all the flowers coming up around now even though it still feels wintry. The weather was an improvement on yesterday at least. It was busy at the changing rooms before and after my run, but I did not have to wait too long for a cubicle. I went for the 30-20-10 intervals again. I have worked out how to download workouts onto my Garmin watch now. Looking at the stats I can get from the app I am wondering if I need to pay for what the Strava Summit packages offer.
I did my usual loop up around the lakes which involves a fair bit of uphill on the way out. Strava shows 'Grade Adjusted Pace' for the splits which can vary a fair bit from the measured speed, but gives some indication of how you are doing generally.
The average pace for this run is pretty slow for me, but then I took it very easy on the warmup and cooldown sections. I also spent longer than usual at the outdoor gym where I used more of the machines and then jogged back through the shopping precinct. That is a bit of a shortcut. Around 7 or 8 kilometres is about all I can manage in a lunch break when you add on the changing time.
I am still not back to full fitness, but I feel okay when I am running. I just think I could be going faster when I recover. I hope the training I am doing will mean I may even be quicker than before. I will get back to parkrun when I can. The Letchworth course will be a mudbath.

Nobody gets to live forever, but quality of life is important. I feel really alive when my running is going well.
great run buddy @steevc
It is always good that you are able to get out and do it in the first place. My wife has been posting actifit posts lately and the other day she showed me a quote that said something like the only workout you regret is the one you didn't do or the one you skipped or something like that.
I don't like to miss a run. Weather is looking wet tomorrow, but I'll get out if I can. Even half an hour does some good and I soon warm up afterwards.
We have been getting snow off and on through the day today. They are saying we could get a could dump this evening.
No snow here this winter yet, but there has been some up north. We just had hail today.
