Flying solo this morning and changed the route up , choosing to chance my arm and take to the streets !! A slight breeze and an overcast sky , ideal conditions for a longer outing, meant no contending with any overheating issues .Traffic was light but still felt the need for caution especially using headphones !! Just became aware today that the average driver when confronted with a runner fast approaching, has not the faintest , to stick or bust when his natural inclination is to keep moving !! This is all guess work folks and the will to survive !! Recent issue with calf is still ongoing so will re-access after a two day sabbatical !! Enjoyed the fact that today,s route was not the usual 'loop running' which tends to lead to over thinking the 'distance remaining' element. So , 10K run today with a new PB of 1:8:44 - well pleased, as I resolved from the get go not to push to hard due to calf issue.First Km was slowest ,as per usual ,at 7:36 ,fastest was the 9th at 6:22 All things considered ,I,ll take that !!

Keep on running .

Not too shabby! Well done. I can’t manage headphones I’m afraid. Either they won’t stay in my ears or I find my pace keeping (already dubious) is all over the place with different songs! Some drivers are clueless when they see a runner crossing. It makes you wonder how they react to a child crossing. What’s the difference?

Well done on a good run, relax and feel smug. 😊

That sounds like the perfect 10km (apart from the car driver). Great result and a new PB. Well done 👍
