My work day went fast downhill and suddenly we have no night staff at all and run out of options so the boss and i packed up our laptops to come home and sleep so we can go back to work tonight.
Then i thought oh no, it’s run day, so got home went for a run....
Winds of 34 miles an hour and negative splits, Willow went off faster than me and we got blown all over the path,
3.22 slow
1.20 faster
.6 faster still
The weather gods were having a laugh and goodness only knows why i thought Adele would cheer me up, she wasn’t very successful while she was singing then there was a media error and she stopped, the run stopped too but after some faffing i managed to start it off again and suddenly we are running faster, just a bit, as I passed Willow he said I can’t and I never saw him again. Oh crikey now faster still, I’m beginning to puff and my legs are sore.
I think I got negative splits but the media error really messed the stats up
I’m going to eat toast and drink tea sleep for 4 hours and then it’s back to work for a 10 hour shift
Happy whatever day it is everyone

By the time I write this you will probably be fast asleep!
Even though your run was a little 'haphazard' it sounds as though you'll benefit from being out in the fresh air before your ultra long shift. Some people would have bailed out of the run knowing they had to go back to work, so well done you!
Thank you, I’m on day 5 no nicotine patches and not sure if i’m a bit miserable because of that or because of work so i’m blaming work so i needed that run
Good for you making the effort to get out there and in challenging weather too - running kudos for sure -and hope you are now catching some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's before the night shift. Hope all goes well later. SP
Honestly you are so awesome. I read this and think how busy you are and yet still...still you fit in a run. Utterly astounding. Wherever you go running wise you'd have earned every single step of it. Look after yourself and stay safe x
Thank you, I was just reading your 17 miles post and wondering how much i’d have to push myself to get that far, fitting it in would be a nightmare, running 4 times a week is beginning to make our legs ache, we keep saying we will walk one, but the next one is hills lol
Enjoy being in the warm and dry Damien we are wondering what thursday’s hill repeats will bring
Crikey! What a day and what a run. It sounds like the wind was pushing you along. You are probably into your shift now, so I hope you have an uneventful night and all goes smoothly. The wind is certainly blowing a hoolie where I am, so must be wilder near where you are on the coast 🤗.
