Morning Runners!
What a crisp morning it is too! But...no rain, so pretty good conditions (I tell myself) 😀.
I was feeling a bit stiff yesterday after Saturday’s tempo run, so I was a little unsure about how I would feel today or if I should have another rest day. Going out in all weather’s is one thing, but this body needs to be working well. 😂
I have a 2k recovery run on my plan and the recommended pace is 9 something (I know, more like a walk), which is actually pretty hard to do, so off I go to see how slow I can go. I have gloves today and that little essential key to get back in the house 🤓😉.
Slow, slow, slow! 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️ Back up the higgeldy, piggeldy, hilly run path, but by choice and without any concern today. It’s gonna be slow on purpose, so why not?😁!
I’m enjoying it so much, there’s 2 breakouts of singing 🎧 🎤 🎶 and running in step to the music 💃🏽. I realise that hasn’t happened in a while 😍. It wasn’t as slow as recommended, but it was slow. Then I hear you’re in your last minute of the run now 😲. I’m still on the outward phase 😂! Well...what’s a girl to do, but carry on and run back 🏃🏽♀️😃. On my way back I see a lovely black and white cat, running towards me. I sort of expected it to move off in another direction, but clearly I’m no threat as he/she just keeps on coming and even looks at my feet as he/she is passing with a look that I could swear said “Mmm...could do with some improvements” 🤣! That made me laugh to myself. I had a wonderful total 4K run 🏃🏽♀️!
I even decide to take a walk around the little park near home. Trying to follow the old C25K principles to help build up stamina for the next run. I do my stretches in the park and as I walk around I notice there’s still a puddle. So, I turn back🤓! No icy water or mud today! I’ve done my bit!! 😂 Time for home! 🏡
Happy running Runners! ❤️
