Sunday run: Better rested

I just finished a 11.38km running that lasted about 1hh:2mm:56ss !

I wrote previously how the cat had been waking us up far too early. This went on for several nights, but last night she let us sleep through. I felt better for that. Mind you, I was aware of the wind and rain during the night. The weather has turned cooler and wetter again. Yesterday my neighbour had the parasol on his outside table caught by the wind and it shattered the glass tabletop. I have not noticed any other damage yet.

Luckily it was not raining this morning, but still a bit windy. I was aiming for something over 10km. As usual I started fairly slow, but got quicker as my legs warmed up and managed a quite good pace on this run. I got one personal Strava segment record without trying to. That shows my fitness is improving. I would like to be running a bit more and will aim to get in an extra weekly run.

Conditions were pretty good apart from some headwind. I thought the grass paths would be muddy, but they were okay. A few people out and about. Some runners and dog walkers. I saw one lady pushing her dog in a buggy. Maybe it is injured. I have seen another around here that has a set of wheels due to problems with its back legs.

I could probably have run a bit further, but I felt like I had had enough. When I was almost home I saw a group of five people running in the shirts of a local club. They were spaced out a bit, but maybe they are starting to do group training sessions again. The risk of COVID-19 is still out there so I will not be taking chances.

Podcast listening was Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast (with Robert Webb), Digital Planet and No Such Thing as a Fish.
