Morning Run - Dithering

avatar

I just finished a 9.651km running that lasted about 0hh:56mm:1ss !

I was really not sure if I would run today. I was feeling generally stiff and achey yesterday and when I woke up I could hear the rain coming down hard. I was quite happy in bed too. I had some breakfast whilst I considered it and my son went off for his run. When he got back it was not looking too bad out, so I decided to at least do something.

It did rain on me a bit at the start, but not too bad and it was not cold. Up at Fairfield I avoided the off-road bits that might be muddy. I saw a few other runners out there, but it was not too busy.

I just did the shorter loop through Stotfold where I saw a red kite. I have not been that way in a while and there is a new development site for some houses. I am trying to remember what was there before, but I think they must have taken down an old house.

Heading back towards Arlesey it was feeling like hard work, but I kept running anyway. I even added some extra bits near the end, but did not quite make it to 10km. I am still over 700km for the first half of the year, which puts me on target for the same as last year. I will have to see if I can increase it at all, but I will go with what my body can cope with.

I am supposed to be busking with the band today, but the weather is not looking great. We may have a practice session instead.

Happy 4th July to the colonists.

Run free and stay well.

Goodness gracious...Over 700km and it's just July. That's mighty impressive.

I have realized that the best time to go for a run is precisely when our bodies tell us otherwise

Those runs soon add up. I know some others do a lot more, but I don't want to wear my body out. You have to listen to what it is saying and sometimes it's better to rest.

Have to keep doing what is good for you. I was out playing music with friends this afternoon, so it's been a good day.

Have fun.

I will have to run in the rain sometimes, but heading out when it is tipping down is not enticing to me. I've done pretty well weather wise this year. Done another run today in good conditions to post later.
