The overnight rain and the humid air added a heavy stillness to this morning's run through the woods. Despite the damp, it didn't make it feel any cooler and it was a very sticky run.
Today's run was Dabby-dot's second of week 8. All in, we covered 4.34k in the 38 minutes. Just 4 more runs to go! If everything goes to plan she will run her graduation run the day before she heads off to uni.
I am mixing things up for her this week, taking her down different tracks so that each run has something new. Today we crossed over the little single track road that splits the woodland to run in an area that she has only walked before. It's also a while since I have been that way. Crossing the road and running on the other side always heralds a longer run for me as that's where I can chop and change direction on all the different tracks to make up a range of longer routes. Just heading over there today felt like I had opened the door to the longer runs I have been dreaming of reclaiming for such a long time. It was almost like metaphorically crossing the bridge towards 10k again.
ππ³πββοΈ Happy running all.
