As I dont start work until this afternoon I had already decided yesterday that this morning I would go for a run .
I then also managed to book my booster jab for lunch time today , so another reason to get my run done as I was exhausted after my 2nd jab 6 months ago!
I decided to go out at 08:30 after the school rush !
It was surprisingly mild at around 12 degrees so shorts and a long sleeved running top were just right !
I have been trying to pick my run frequency up again as they have been slipping recently due to a number of reasons such as work and also a few little niggles.
I have also started to do some yoga as those of you following the Quest post will know.

I think the niggles have been through infrequent runs and no other excercise in-between , something I have decided to put right as I want to start picking up my distance again.
Any way, I decided to do the NRC Just another run run ! As it would take me to around the 5K .
I set off at what felt like an easy pace without watching my watch .
It felt sluggish at first and the toxic 10 was evident, after which it started to flow.
There was quite a stiff breeze on the 2nd k which is slightly downhill but it was now starting to feel comfortable.
Around the corner up the hill towards the church and I think I managed to maintain pace and more importantly, no niggles!
I was starting to feel good about this run!
3k in and all is well .
The rest of this 5k route is undulating which takes me past my house around 4k.
It's often tempting to turn left and finish but I also think we'll, just do 1 more k and you've done 5 so thats what I did π
So, happy to have got out there again , back home , stretches done and porridge eaten !
A quick shower next then off for my jab at lunch time.
Happy running π
