After my mini meltdown towards the year end I am so pleased to have put some kms into the tank for the first time this year.
After the torrential rain of the last few days the sun finally came out. It was breezy, the sky was blue so just perfect.
I had absolutely no plan for my run. My only goal was to get out and run. No specific route, no specific distance and no identified pace so I just put Mr Garmin on the heart rate zone face and tried to keep as much as possible in zone 2.
Although I have lived here for 30 years or so I ended up running around estates I had never been through before. I got lost a few times but just carried on. Down some muddy tracks - bad news for my lovely clean new shoes 😀 - across some playing fields and exploring more streets.
I thought it would be good to get 30 minutes under my belt and waited for the 4km buzz to come from my watch. I must have missed it as when I took a quick peek I was already at 34 minutes and coming up to 5k. I then thought it would be nice to get up to 6k, then up to 4 miles.
It felt great to get a 45 minute run in. I'm not fully recovered yet but hopefully will continue to improve.
Happy running everyone
