It's been too long since my last run so my intention today was just to run !
Woke up around 6am, went to make a cup of tea and feed the ever hungry cat !
She was in the kitchen waiting , sat by her empty food bowl π
I decided to take my tea back to bed !
Up again around 6:45 , a bit of faffage, Dynamics done ,
Out of the door around 07:25.
It was quite cool on my warm up walk but I knew it would be just right in a t shirt and shorts once I started running
I was not bothered how far , not bothered how fast , I just wanted a relaxed and enjoyable run .
No music , and no watching my watch .
This was a mindfulness run , enjoying the moment .
I set off really slow as I didn't know how far I was going to run .
I followed my usual route and coming up to 1k I knew it was a nice and easy pace so I don't even bother to look at my watch.
At this stage I hadn't seen another person out there , just a horse near the beginning of my route .
On to the 2nd k and slightly downhill at first so let the pace creep up a little , again, just by feel .
A few cars around on this stretch and a couple of dog walkers but no other runners !.
Round the corner and onto the uphill towards the village church , tried to keep a Steady pace on the incline , this was tough as I hadn't run for a while but felt a similar pace , again, no looking at the watch !
I had a little bit of an achey knee at this point , nothing much , just something I was aware of .
Caried on to 3k and decided to finish at 3.5k because of the knee !
I didn't want to push it .
Back home , stretches done , tea made and porridge for breakfast !
Now for a shower π
Just a bit further
