Woke to wind and rain on my day off
It was raining on Wednesday on my daughters day off and she text so i sent back ‘horrible weather’
Her reply surprised me ‘ Do you think so? I’m sitting here looking out and my garden is like a rainy forest. I can’t change the weather so i changed my attitude 😀’
Where on earth did i get her? all that positiveness
Back to today, I woke several times during the night with left calf cramping but hey it’s my day off and we haven’t run much lately so off we went
Slow and steady round the track and a bit boring so i peeled off and ran to the seafront past the lake, Willow plodded round the track a few more times and sat in the car. I decided to walk/run home so off he went in the car to make the tea
I don’t much like running along the main road and my calf was pulling going over the railway bridge but as I got to the top I ran over a train and grinned
That kilometre was mostly walk, got to the bottom of our road and remembered trying to run the short length of it some years ago and failing so I wondered what it would be like now, oh easy in fact that was a good pace, almost 4k so through the park and towards work, turned and ran gently home, just over 5k just over 49 minutes and very satisfying
That’s the first 5k for a while, the plan we were following was either 3.44 or 4.83 k
A good balanced run and all the while thinking ‘calf no worse keep going’ so I did
Have a great weekend every one
Five and a bit
