I enjoy running at the local reservoir for lots of reasons (it's flat, no dogs are allowed, I like running near water, there are loads of distractions and a good cafe - perfect for a post run cuppa) including the fact that on Strava it looks like I can run on water 😂.
So I always tend to have good runs there but I have to say today was my favourite ever. I can't quite fathom why some runs are just perfect and others not. Last week set out in perfect cool early morning sunshine along a favourite Thameside route but found it a real slog. This week I sleep in, weather's changeable and a bit muggy, exhausted after a geuelling week at work, drank one too many glasses of wine last night and (close your ears chaps) it's that time of the month and I have the best run ever! Breathing feels great, legs feel great, feel I'm really hitting a comfy stride all the way through, manage my best 5k time as a part of it and that I could have kept going (but only had an hour having got up late!)
How does that work? However whatever running magic was a play today I'm not going to jinx it by over examining it - just bask in the glory of a good run 😚.
Happy running everyone.
Warmth? Water?
Recommendations needed - best way to carry water?
Beautiful September running
