An Early morning 3K trot

Well that was interesting ! 😁

This was my first run in a month !

I have had a bit of a difficult time lately but won't bore you all with the details but it's taken me untill now to feel I could run again .

Thanks for the encouragement, I've appreciated it !

So I went out this morning with no expectations, I just wanted to run .

Not in the slightest interested in pace but needed to know I could still run .

Although I wasen't bothered about how far I went , I still chose a distance run , I decided to do the NRC 3K run .

I thought this would be just nice to ease me back in , and it was !

It was a 3k loop that didn't take me too far from home so if I had to bail out it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

When I woke up this morning I felt unsure about my run , but once out of bed and tea made I felt fine , and the Gremlins had disappeared !

Dynamics done and I remembered to synch my Garmin with connect before I went out as it had been a month since I last ran , thanks for that tip nowster !

I left the house at 06:50 and the temperature was already 14 degrees but it felt just right in shorts and running vest !

Mr Garmin locked on straight away on my warm up walk .

As I started to run I felt good , good to be out running again and straight away I started to enjoy it !

I don't usually run this loop so was a bit uncertain where the splits would start and finish but started off at what felt like a comfortable trot .

The first K done and feeling fine , starting to warm up a bit now though .

I didn't look at my splits while running but the 2nd Km also felt good so I knew 3K would be fine .

Onto the last Km and felt like picking it up a bit so increased the pace .

Coach Corey tells me 3K done but I carry on slightly further until Mr Garmin agrees !

Back home , stretches done and a quick look at Strava and connect .

Surprised to see my splits came out at 7:41, 7:41 and 7:11

That's a pleasent suprise !

And it's good to be back !

Thought I'd include a picture of Misty the cat in my photos 😁😺

Right ! Porridge on !!

Nice bit of consistency in those splits there.

I like the 3 km (or 2 miles) distance. It's just enough to get things ticking over when starting the day.
